Indium Corp. SiPaste C312HF halogen-free, cleanable solder paste is for fine-feature printing.
Automated Production Equipment (A.P.E.) Intruder is a complete hot air BGA rework station with split vision placement/removal capability.
Stackpole Electronics has expanded its sensing portfolio with the CSSU2512, a 5-watt current sense resistor. The all-metal device leverages a thermally efficient structure, delivering 5W performance in a standard 2512 footprint. The CSSU2512 achieves thermal behavior comparable to that of typical 3W chips. Offered in 1–10 mΩ values with 1% tolerance and a 50-ppm TCR, the AEC-compliant resistor supports applications requiring durable, low-resistance sensing. Pricing ranges from $0.22–$0.30 in full-package quantities, with volume options available through Stackpole and authorized distributors.
Vision Engineering's ProteQ VISO is a 3D digital stereo microscope that integrates an autostereo display for eyepiece-free viewing. The system uses twin cameras and eye-tracking to generate a three-dimensional image on a flat screen. Provides an upright viewing angle, adjustable display and a 10:1 zoom range. Users can switch between 3D and 2D viewing modes for individual or group evaluation. Digital functions include image capture, playback, video streaming, picture-in-picture, overlays, annotation and on-screen measurement. The system integrates with external software such as Dimension Two and provides access to email, Teams, and shared files directly through the interface. Additional options include low-heat illumination, a detachable display for cleanroom workflows, quick-change lighting modules, lockable detents and optional 360° viewing capability.
Shenmao Technology has released SMF-TA52, a zero-residue transient adhesive developed for assemblies using formic acid reflow. The material is designed to hold solder preforms, dies and wafers in position during heating while remaining compatible with the reduction chemistry inside formic acid reflow ovens. SMF-TA52 decomposes during the thermal cycle and reaches zero residue at peak reflow. The adhesive supports dispensing and jetting applications and works with formic acid reflow, vacuum reflow and silver sintering processes. SMF-TA52 is SVHC-free, halogen-free and no-clean.
Zero Ohm Jumpers and dummy components are now available in multiple body sizes and pitches for training use and PCB design changes. SnPb and lead-free versions are stocked for immediate shipment. The components support bridging, routing and current conduction across board traces and can replace obsolete parts or enable modifications after production begins. The lineup includes the SOT23 Zero Ohm Jumper Package, which allows designers to alter routing without producing a new board layout.
