ThermoScan test sensor can be installed on a flying probe shuttle for general application or a probe module with Z-movement for more accurate measurement over ICs. Uses mechanical capability to automatically move IR temperature sensor over PCB to measure the powered PCB temperature pattern; bridges gaps between conventional test technologies. Can be used at every stage of the production process and for design verification; helps to optimize thermal distribution. Provides troubleshooting information for PCB repair. Measures and analyzes thermal behavior of single-sided and double-sided PCBs. Temperature range -18° to 220°C with a measurement accuracy of 3%. Sensor response time is 150 ms after 1 to 2 min. warm-up.

MSD 1200 Series desiccant cabinets include a modular enclosure offering access from two sides that can be expanded to meet production needs and a new dry unit with closed loop on-demand regeneration. Said to exceed IPC J-STS-033B.1 requirements for handling moisture-sensitive devices. U5001 "Dynamic Series" Zeolite dryers feature dehumidification, reportedly enabling a basic MSD1212 to take 240 sec. to move from 50% RH to less than 5% under unloaded conditions at 25°C. Optimal humidity levels are below 0.5% RH. Designed to regenerate only when necessary. If there are no door openings the dry unit will not regenerate and therefore consume less power. Integrated cabinet and dry unit design for quiet and maintenance-free operation. Average power consumption 30W per hour.
