Place-n-Bond underfilm is now offered with glue dots preapplied to the strip as an alternative for tacky pads. Testing now integrates into a standard SMT feeder. A thinner version of underfilm helps improve LGAs during shock, drop, and thermal cycling testing. Is a preformed thermoplastic packaged in tape and reel that is picked and placed with an existing SMT feeder. Bonds during reflow process and can be used in BGA reliability, flex-circuit-to-rigid-board bonding, encapsulating, and sealing. No dispensing, additional cure time or cold storage is required.

Master Bond EP21TPFL-1AO is an electrically insulative two-part epoxy polysulfide system with a thermal conductivity of 9-10 BTU•in/ft2•hr•°F. Reportedly has good chemical resistance, particularly to fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids and related compounds. Is for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications in the electronic, aerospace, OEM and related industries. Has an elongation of 150-200%; can withstand thermal cycling and mechanical shock. Has low viscosity and a hardness of 70-90 Shore A. Color coding facilitates mixing. Part A is black and Part B is off-white. Working life is 90-120 min. at 75°F. Fully cures at ambient temperatures and should not be heated. Has good adhesion to metals, ceramics, composites, glass, and many rubbers and plastics. Is serviceable over range of -60°F to +250°F and has a six-month shelf life in original, unopened containers.

VisionMaster 6.0 software, for desktop SPI systems, performs 3D measurements and plots printed circuit board features. Upgrades include negative height measurements, pad array creation with an intuitive user interface, and improved processing algorithms. Touchscreen support for Windows 8/10 has been extended and updated. Features charting. Built-in SPC support provides process capability data range selection and better upper and lower limit control, and color palette-based threshold entry. Removes unwanted data points for charts, expands support for external SPC packages, like Siemens' Criterion and Minitab, and performs multiple 2D measurements. Measures object width, height and diameter. Draws measurement templates on any object in the field of view of the sensor.
