Capacitors address limitations of aqueous supercapacitors
A series of high CV wet tantalum capacitors, which achieve the ultra-high volumetric capacitance densities of aqueous supercapacitors, while addressing their temperature and soldering limitations, has been introduced by AVX. The TWD DCUltraMax capacitors are developed using a design process based on high CV tantalum powders, allowing them to achieve high DC capacitance values.
Selective Soldering training is a success
Kurtz Ersa North America recently held its ERSA Versaflow 3 Selective Soldering Level II Application Training and Maintenance Course at its facility in Plymouth, Wisconsin. The course was a success with students from six different companies in attendance, gaining the knowledge required to properly maintain the Versaflow 3 with minimal to zero defects with the highest throughput possible.
SMD LEDs eliminate light bleed issues
Kingbright’s wide range of SMD-LEDs with dome lens is on sale at TTI. The dome lens packages, which include 0603 (KPTD-1608), 1206 (KPTD-3216), PLCC (KPED-3528) among others, provide narrow viewing angles of 15deg. to 30deg. thereby giving a more focussed and brighter output that eliminates any issue with light bleed.
HARTING demos connector ranges & contract manufacturing
At Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2015, HARTING will highlight a number of additions to its ranges of board-to-board and board-to-cable connectors, as well as a greatly expanded range of M12 connectors for instrumentation and control applications. Additions to the har-flex 1.27mm robust circuit-board connector family are being featured which extend its versatility in a wide range of board-to-board and board-to-cable applications.
Chip-on-Board LED array holders simplify installation
With compression contacts that eliminate hand soldering and simplify the LED installation process,SlimRay Pre Wired LED Chip-on-Board (CoB) Array Holders reduce assembly time while increasing reliability, Molex has announced.
PCB size no problem for automated inspection system
GOEPEL electronics is offering a variant of the inline AOI system AdvancedLine for the inspection of overlength PCBs. The longboard AOI system enables testing of assembled and soldered PCBs with a length of up 1,600mm. An adjustment for even longer PCBs is also possible due to the flexibility of the overall design.

Hybrid connectors are flexible & backwards compatible
Claimed to provide more flexibility than traditional power connectors, the Minitek Pwr Hybrid 3.0 and 4.2 connectors have been released by FCI. Alongside dual row power circuits, the 3.0 and 4.2 configurations are available for 2-24 power circuits and 2-12 signal circuits for wire-to-board applications. Crimping and removal tools are provided for wire harness assemblies, while vertical wave soldering headers are offered in through-hole configurat...
Power modules provide a low transient thermal resistance
To address the specific requirements of cost-effective applications, Infineon Technologies has released bipolar power modules in solder bond technology. The PowerBlock modules expand the company’s power module portfolio which, thus far, was only using pressure contacts. Infineon offers optimised solutions for different applications like industrial drives, renewable energy, soft starters, UPS systems, welding and static switches driven by co...
Soldering rework station cuts production costs
The Weller WXR Rework Station is designed to handle all tasks related to soldering, desoldering, and the use of hot air in the production process, saving significant costs compared to buying individual units. It is available from Farnell element14. The WXR 3 is a 3-channel station with an enormous total power output of 600 watts, higher than any other station on the market.
