Fast-curing CA-141 conductive adhesive is for stringing and bussing CIGS solar modules. Has been optimized for molybdenum and other substrates used in thin-film manufacturing. Is designed for thermal cycling and damp heat stability. Low Tg is suitable for manufacturing flexible modules using reel-to-reel manufacturing. Can be partially cured for 60 to 90 sec.; adhesive cure is completed during encapsulant lamination process. Reportedly has optimized rheology for dispensing, excellent damp heat resistance and conductivity stability on molybdenum, tin, tin-silver and silver-plated ribbons.

PNA-X network analyzer now has source-corrected noise-figure measurement capability of 43.5 and 50GHz. Provides a single-connection, multiple-measurement capability for R&D and manufacturing engineers developing and testing low-noise transistors, amplifiers, frequency converters and transmit/receive modules. The 50GHz noise hardware features a built-in low-noise receiver and impedance tuner. Network analyzers combine S-parameter vector-error correction and an impedance tuner to remove the effects of imperfect system source match.
