SN100C (551CT) fluxed-cored solder wire combines the benefits of a eutectic lead-free alloy with a robust, high-temperature capable cored flux for high-speed sequential soldering. Formulated for soldering tip temperatures up to 380°C with good tip separation for reduced icicles, permitting fast wetting and high spreadability. Ag-free stable microstructure accommodates long-term and impact strains. For high-speed robotic soldering. Good wetting and high spread factor.

New packaging and labels are available for DMP6-10, DMP8-10 and DMP16-10 inserts. Packaging provides enhanced protection of the DMP inserts during shipping and handling. Prevents contaminants from coming in contact with DMP insert assemblies during storage. Each package has two labels, one affixed to the box and one attached to the inside bag. Labels contain part numbers, descriptions and lot numbers for tracking purposes.

Micro-Coil Spring Array is an alternative to standard rigid arrays. Designed to replace column grid array (solder columns) commonly used on ICs with high lead counts. Is a drop-in replacement for BGA column grid array packaging applications that require greater reliability and long-term robustness. Developed by NASA.

I-prober 520 positional current probe observes and measures current in printed circuit board and other conductors without the need to break or surround the conductor. Used with an oscilloscope, this compact, handheld probe provides a bandwidth of DC to 5 MHz and a dynamic range of 10 mA to 20 A pk-pk. When user places insulated tip onto the conductor, the current flowing in the track can be observed and measured. Operates by sensing the field in close proximity to the track. Employs miniaturized version of a fluxgate magnetometer. Has a safety rating of CAT II, 300 V (CAT I, 600 V) and is suitable for connection to any 1-MΩ input of an oscilloscope. Comes with control box and calibrator, power supply, and a clip-on toroid assembly.
