Techspray has added the Plato Brass Tip Cleaner to its Plato electronic repair and rework line. It removes burnt flex from tips to improve wetting, heat throughput and extends tip life. According to Techspray, the Plato Brass Tip Cleaner makes cleaning soldering tips a simple process.

igus has launched the B160, a recent black option of its iglidur tribo-tape. Where a standard bearing solution won’t suffice, the B160 has proved an excellent alternative across many automotive applications. The iglidur tribo-tape offers a low friction and noise dampening properties and will eliminate rattles and squeaks wherever there is a metal to metal or plastic contact; typical examples include leaf springs, steering columns, seating, ...

At the LED professional Symposium 2015, Mühlbauer presented its latest development of 'Reel to Reel Flip Chip LED', a completely recent technology which allows the production of LED light engines directly on a flexible substrate. The light engine itself is manufactured by the latest Flip Chip technology. The system uses a high-volume Reel to Reel procedure, placing the flipped LEDs directly on the endless web material, i.e. onto the final de...

  Among the industry's highest performance form-in-place gap filler compounds, SARCON SPG-50A from Fujipoly is a 5.0 W/m°K silicone based material suited for electronic devices that have delicate components or ultra-low compression force requirements.

Dow Corning CI-2001 white reflective coating is a highly reflective optical coating that delivers good resistance to environmental aging and enhances LED light output and efficiency. It is a room-temperature-vulcaniding, solventborne, elastoplastic resin. It has a high performance target (96%) reflectance at 127μm coating thickness and 94% reflectance at 76.2μm coating thickness.

  Dow Corning's EI-1184 encapsulant is a clear, two-part silicone product designed to offer reliable electronics protection for lamps and luminaire components in interior and outdoor applications.

With enhanced chemical resistance Master Bond MasterSil 930 is an acetoxy type fluorosilicone for bonding, sealing and coating applications in aerospace, electronics, specialty OEM and other industries. This one part system is able to withstand exposure to water, fuels, oils, greases, refrigerants, acids, bases and solvents better than standard silicones.

Sheets of graphene and other materials that are virtually two-dimensional hold great promise for electronic, optical, and other high-tech applications. But the biggest limitation in unleashing this potential has been figuring out how to make these materials in the form of anything larger than tiny flakes. Now researchers at MIT and elsewhere may have found a way to do so.
