535-18M-57 UV cured epoxy adhesive is formulated for microelectronic assembly applications. Is an ultra-low stress, low shrinkage, ionically clean, low glass transition temperature UV cure adhesive. Is designed to eliminate warpage of components in disk drive assemblies, lens bonding in camera modules, chip encapsulation in smart cards and general bonding applications in photonics assembly. Reportedly cures rapidly when exposed to high-intensity UV light. Does not contain antimony.

SDR custom size desiccant drying and storage rooms control and trace moisture sensitive components, boards and assemblies. Modular enclosures accommodate feeder trolleys, WIP carts and PCB racks. Employ energy-efficient, dual wall insulated steel construction; enable rapid, oxidation-free drying at 40°-60°C and safe storage per J-STD-033C. U5000 Series Dry Unit is said to deliver 0.5% RH and closed-loop regeneration that responds to the atmosphere in the cabinet. Relevant process data are obtained with use of a 0.8% digital sensor. Data can be logged directly through RS232 with available software links.
