Techsil has developed a new clear, epoxy adhesive called EP25880 Clear that provides a bond on carbon fibre composite parts. Techsil’s Application Engineer Steve Green explained: “I have been working with a number of companies that were manufacturing and assembling products made of composite materials and a need arose to find a product that could bond carbon fibre parts quickly and neatly. There are expensive adhesives on the mar...

When pharmaceutical packages sound an alarm or food cartons measure the temperature, printed electronics are involved. LOPEC, the International Exhibition and Conference for the Printed Electronics Industry in Munich, will provide information about next generation packaging from March 19th to 21st, 2019.

Worldwide manufacturer of complete solutions for soldering processes and automated production lines, SEHO Systems, has announced plans to exhibit at SMTA International, scheduled to take place October 16th to 17th, 2018. The company will introduce the new StartSelective, plug-and-produce selective soldering system for those just entering into automated soldering in Booth #423.

As 5G user equipment and network infrastructure in the sub-6GHz and mmWave frequency bands rolls out, GaAs technology will play an important role because front-end semiconductor technology has a significant influence on battery life and total power consumption of mobile devices and active antenna arrays employed in mmWave network infrastructure.

Würth Elektronik has announced an extensive range of shielding cabinets in its program. The cabinets are made of thin, tin-plated sheet metal (certified to DIN EN 10202/10203) and represent an easy-to-implement EMC solution. The WE-SHC shielding cabinets keep electromagnetic radiation away from the circuit board and improve the noise immunity of the output and input stages of HF, oscillator and EMC-sensitive components in plastic housings.

Scheduled to take place 16th to 17th October, 2018 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, KIC has announced plans to exhibit at SMTA International. The new RPI i4.0 automatic profiling system with network software for real time dashboard, data sharing and traceability storage will be demonstrated in Booth #124.

Gilding is the process of coating intricate artefacts with precious metals. Ancient Egyptians and Chinese coated their sculptures with thin metal films using gilding - and these golden sculptures have resisted corrosion, wear, and environmental degradation for thousands of years. The middle and outer coffins of Tutankhamun, for instance, are gold leaf gilded, as are many other ancient treasures.

Eurocircuits has now added the PCBA Visualizer to their online eC Smart Tools seamlessly linking PCB Manufacture to PCB Assembly and driving their philosophy of 'Right First Time for Manufacture'. It is without a doubt that the PCBA Visualizer brings unparcelled functionality and control to the customer. It allows them to visually check that the selected components physically fit their PCB layout before the manufacturing process starts, thus...

Master Bond EP110F8-3 is a two part epoxy system ideal for sealing, encapsulating, potting, and casting applications. “This toughened system provides very good flexibility and possesses a relatively high elongation of 120-150%”, said Rohit Ramnath, Senior Product Engineer. “It offers a low tensile modulus of around 5,000-15,000 psi and a shore A hardness of 40-50 at room temperature."

  Brady Corporation's new Sterilisation indicating labels provide users with proof of sterilisation. They are well suited to a broad range of laboratory processes including sample tracking, inventory management, general tracking, and glassware or tray identification.
