PowerstrateXtreme Dispensable (PSX-D) is a phase change material that is said to offer many advantages of thermal greases. Remains solid at room temperature; becomes liquid when exposed to heat. Wets surfaces and fills surface irregularities with thermally conductive particulates. Thickness can be adjusted depending on the requirement. Can be stenciled, needle-dispensed, screen-printed or manually applied onto a heat sink or other surfaces. Cures and dries into a solid phase change material. Can be used as a TIM2 material for between microprocessors, IGBT, FBDIMM/Memory, GPU, MCMs, ASICs and active heatsinks. Is reworkable and repeatable.
Premier PEI-140 lightweight, electrically conductive plastic is for EMI shielding of high-temperature avionics. Is said to maintain high-temperature tolerance, chemical resistance and UL 94V-0 flammability rating for a shielding solution up to 85dB in aerospace applications. Complies with avionics smoke density requirements. PolyEtherImide was chosen for its thermal resistance, mechanical properties, flame resistance and low smoke generation. Is an amorphous thermoplastic reinforced with matrix of proprietary conductive fillers. Continuous use at temperatures up to 340°F.
Una Guiÿa Praÿctica para la Serigrafia (A Practical Guide to Screen Printing) is a Spanish-language primer covering the screen-printing process. Includes photos and diagrams that illustrate the process from start to finish. Includes step-by-step instructions on mesh stretching to frame exposing. Other topics include setting up shop, handling ink, making frames, preparing stencils, and squeegee selection and technique. Features comprehensive glossary of screen printing terms and troubleshooting tips for commonly encountered issues. AWT World Trade Inc., www.awt-gpi.com
SCS Precision IRT combines convection and IR heat sources for curing a variety of coatings. Handles high- and low-solvent coatings, adhesives and other heat curable materials. Reportedly reduces solvent entrapment, bubbling and blistering. Independently controlled convection and IR modules. Drip pans removable for fast, easy maintenance.
HLX8100 is a placement system featuring a feeder capacity of 192 x 8 mm and programmable feeders. Can accommodate speeds up to 11,250 cph. Is designed for high-mix/high-speed production. Linear drives are said to be maintenance-free. During placement, the board is fixed. Uses collect and place method. Comes equipped with one placement head with four vacuum nozzles. Cognex Vision enables alignment and checking of components. The alternative HLX8200 model features two heads and accommodate speeds up to 22,000 cph.
SP003-MLV semi-automatic stencil printer features trans-stencil vision. Offers motorized print head and vertical stencil separation. Can accommodate stencils or screens up to 23 x 23". Is available with different print mounts. Is said to be ideal for small- and medium-volume production. Can print a maximum of 400 x 410 mm, features two cameras and is 700 x 800 x 500 mm (without the optional substructure).
