RMA250 Solder Paste is a rosin-based chemistry designed to provide a high level of repeatability and consistency. Reportedly offers excellent open time, extended abandon time, and excellent soldering activity with all surface finishes. Is formulated for fast printing and meets requirements for ANSI/J-STD -004, -005, as well as all Bellcore test criteria. The pin probable paste features excellent print volume consistency with surface area ratios as low as 0.55 when used with UltraSlic stencil technology. Has a low voiding/high-reliability composition and a wide reflow window. Post-process residues are clear and can be removed with a saponifier.

High-density, 0.050" pitch through-hole and surface mount spring-loaded connectors come in single and double-row strip packaging. Spring pin components are plated with 20 µm hard gold and assembled in a high-temperature thermoplastic insulator suitable for wave and reflow soldering processes. Are RoHS-compliant.

Series 854-22-0XX-10-001101 and 855-22-0XX-10-001101 through-hole insulators feature molded standoffs. Tail diameters of 0.016" require minimal diameter plated holes for connector mounting. Surface mount spring connectors are low profile, standing less than 0.230" tall when engaged mid-stroke (0.0275").  Each SMT spring pin features a base geometry of 0.030" round by 0.010" tall.

Through-hole (Series 856-10-0XX-10-051000 and 857-10-0XX-10-051000) and surface mount (Series 856-10-0XX-30-051000 and 857-10-0XX-30-051000) 0.050" pitch target connectors provide a gold-plated, flat and conductive mating surface for the 854/855 series. Series 856/857 are precision-machined and assembled into thermoplastic insulators. Suitable for reflow soldering.

K4000 PCB singulator depanelizes skip-scored PCB panels up to 24" long. Operates via foot switch; right and left blade guards assure safety. Front and back support and take-up table are height adjustable. Optional light beam safety curtain across the front of the blades, as well as a conveyor belt. IR sensor at conveyor end stops belt for PCBs with components. Scrap pieces pass underneath the sensor beam into a discard bin. Tooling to help align panels also available.
