Electro Polishing Gel is for polishing selected parts of stencils, for greater control over the level of polishing, time and cost savings. Can be applied only to areas that require polishing. Can be used to polish pre-mounted foils, reportedly eliminating starting reference point errors and distortion due to repeated tensioning and handling issues. Degree of electropolishing can be controlled through gel color change, and power consumption is reduced from the traditional 400 to 1000A at 12V to 3A at 12V. Requires approximately 100ml for a typical stencil.

NeoScale high-speed modular mezzanine connector now delivers faster data rates and improved performance. Offers clean signal integrity at data rates of 56Gbps NRZ. Composed of a vertical plug and vertical receptacle, with a patented modular triad wafer design for custom PCB routing in high-density applications. Patented PCB attachment method delivers robust solder joints. Is composed of three pins per differential pair -- two signal pins and one shield pin. Each triad is a standalone, shielded, 56-Gbps-capable differential pair or an 8A power feed. Triads can be optimized for signals supporting high-speed 85 Ohm or 100 Ohm differential pairs, high-speed single-ended transmissions, low-speed single-ended or control signals, and power pins. Blind mateable with rugged triads for multiple connectors. Come in 12 to 42mm stack heights; circuit sizes of 8 to 300 triad wafers in 2-, 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-row configurations; and 85 or 100 Ohm impedance to provide optimal design flexibility. Customized versions available, such as 10 and 45mm stack heights.

LCR-Reader Multifunction Probe Connector permits LCR-Reader to be used as a probe station. Connects to tweezer handles of LCR-Reader, replacing the gold-plated tweezer tip. Performs LCR testing in automatic or manual mode. By connecting the connector probe (e.g., alligator clip) to a certain node on the PCB, the other tweezer tip becomes a pin probe that can be moved around, promptly giving impedances at various nodes of the PCB. Automatic mode automatically determines impedance type L, C or R, and automatically selects test frequency (0.1, 1 or 10KHz) based on best accuracy. Test signal level is 0.45 Vrms. Impedance values are readily available on the screen once tweezer probe contacts a tested PCB node. Consists of a 60cm-long shielded two-wire cable with a small PCB on one end directly connecting two signal flex stripes on one of the LCR-Reader handles to a universal connector head. Shield is connected to LCR-Reader PCB ground plane. Five kinds of probes can be screwed onto the head, including alligator clip, long and short pin-probes, a spade connector and 4mm multimeter jack plug. Shielded two-wire connection is said to almost eliminate additional offsets due to parasitics of the wires. Enables measurement of larger components that do not fit between the tweezers.
