The Peltier series Thermoelectric Temperature Controller controls fluid temperature of adhesives, sealants, lubricants and other materials in meter, mix and dispensing systems. Uses Peltier-Seebeck effect to directly convert electrical voltage to thermal differentials. This effect, which is reversible, is said to either heat or cool fluid materials with precision to the temperature set point. Device, temperature sensor and temperature control are mounted to a manifold where fluid passes through. Manifolds can be mounted inline or on fluid dispensing equipment. May also include accessories such as fluid pressure sensors, fluid pressure gauges and inlet and outlet flow control valves.

EasyPro3D programming software is said to offer simplified inspection-routine parameterizing, a fully IPC-compliant LIB2007 inspection library, and a newly designed repair station. A shortened parameter list reportedly allows high-inspection quality and low false alarm rates. A reworked standard delivers compact, preset, IPC-compliant parameter sets, reducing the number of parameters that need to be adjusted by a reported 75%. Contains nearly 1,600 component types. Automatic Parameter Optimization can now be used with nearly all inspection algorithms. The repair station contains a ”ValidCompare” mode. For every defect image recognized, another defect-free image is offered. Includes integrated “TrustedChange” verification.

SEMTest is a configurable stress-screening system able to perform lifetime testing of power semiconductors and modules incorporating IGBT, MOSFET, SCR, diode and bipolar parts. Is said to be ideal for manufacturers and users of power semiconductors who want to qualify commercial off-the-shelf devices for use in high-reliability applications. The core is a flexible architecture that can be modified. Standard systems can be configured from 20 to 1000 test cells; larger systems are available on special order. Each cell features its own local controller to set and monitor applied or UUT power and other test parameters; has a measurement unit for temperature, current, voltage, and timing.

The Green Monster ESD stencil wiping roll is Pb-free compatible and antistatic. Said to prevent sparks that can damage components and cause voids in solder traces. Uses coarse ESD fibers. Fabric is said to have an aggressive cleaning surface. Reportedly provides more voids to collect solder paste, as opposed to smearing that results from using paper. Is made of a cross-linked acrylic polymer that bonds the fibers together. Porous product permits full use of the vacuum system.

This environmentally safe circuit board cleaner will replace former cleaners that required special handling and disposal. Is nonflammable. Reportedly cleans better than previous solutions in most applications and without the need for fume evacuation or special toxic handling. Developed specifically for cleaning circuits and components to eliminate leakage through residue or contaminants. Said to work well on boards in high frequency and low voltage applications where contaminants cause failure. Available in liquid concentrate and is suitable for high-volume circuit board production equipment and special hand-cleaning applications.

The Grab-Eez wipe dispenser is said to be economical, dispensing only one wipe at a time. The double C-fold design gives each wipe an exposed edge so that the user can grab one wipe without touching the next. Said to conform to housekeeping practices and protects wipes from the environment until use.

IPC-7351A LP Wizard is for the CR-5000 PCB and advanced packaging suite. This land pattern generator is said to reduce the time it takes to build a standard SMT footprint/symbol for a library part; ensures compatibility with the latest IPC standard for surface mount design. The task reportedly takes less than a minute. Consists of land pattern viewers, calculators and generators for the creation of CAD land patterns, including pads, padstacks and footprints/symbols in SMT parts libraries. Dovetails with free IPC library documentation and viewer provided with IPC-7351 standard. Data can be shared with engineers throughout organization on a project-by-project basis.

Blindmateable vertical headers have been added to the 4.2 mm PE series connector system. The system is a wire-to-wire, wire-to-board and wire-to-panel connector based on 4.2 mm x 4.2 mm centerlines. Headers are available in even position sizes, ranging from two up to 24. Reportedly can create system where exact positioning of mating connectors is aided by the funnel lead-in of the housing to permit easier alignment and mating in wire-to-board applications. Is available in UL 94V-2 or UL 94V-0 housing materials; contacts are tin-plated or gold-plated brass. Are rated for 9A max. (two-position version) and 600 VAC. Rated for 50 mating and unmating cycles and said to be suitable for intermating and interchanging with competitive products as well as AMP-DUAC connectors.
