TESE and JTSE precision hot air stations protect printed circuit boards and surrounding components as a result of PH218 control thermocouple. Have two work modes to control airflow and temperature. Can set temperature values and airflow rate manually or by creating up to 25 profiles. User can read temperature at a specific point on the PCB with control thermocouple. Auto-stop function ensures heat is automatically cut off when tool is in the stand. Use extractors, protectors and tripods for desoldering. Include extractor desk.

Loctite HF 2W SnPb solder paste delivers a wide process window, permitting reflow at high temperature and robust joint formation between the SnPb paste and Pb-free components.

MPM 100 is built on Momentum platform, with Wet Print accuracy of 20µm@6σ, Cpk ≥2, and 6σ capability designed-in and independently verified.

RCI robotic controlled impedance tester has automatic optical inspection and automatic fixtureless controlled impedance testing.

Fujipoly’s Sarcon 30XR-Um thin film is a putty-like thermal gap filler pad. Exhibits thermal conductivity of 17 watt/m-k and a thermal resistance of 0.02 °Cin²/W. Can be compressed quickly using low compression force. The 0.3mm thin film is available in sheets up to 50 x 50mm. Can be cut to custom lengths or die-cut to fit exact shape of heat-generating components. Complies with UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy specifications and is most commonly used to transfer heat from medium to high-power CPUs and semiconductors to nearby heat sinks.
