Getting the right circuit protection
Keeping both business and personal communications moving depends on our ability to recharge devices quickly and safely. However, without the right circuit protection, charging cables and connectors can be damaged by the heat generated by faults within the cable connector or port.
Adapter board accelerates Raspberry Pi-based designs
The DesignSpark Raspberry Pi Pmod(TM) (Peripheral Module) HAT adapter board has been launched by RS Components. Manufactured by Digilent, the Pmod HAT adapter enables users of the highly popular credit-card-sized computer to rapidly develop electronic design prototypes. The Pmod adapter breaks new ground for RS: it is the first DesignSpark-branded product released in conjunction with one of its suppliers.
Laser soldering alleviates miniaturisation issues
Packing densities increase on ever smaller electronic assemblies due to technical requirements and possibilities. Accordingly, the requirements imposed on soldering these components become all the more stringent because, for instance, sensitive components have to be protected from great heat effects. Pinpoint-accurate, fast, and definable soldering is necessary. Therefore, EUTECT has been using diode lasers for its customised soldering systems.
Pastes have low melting point for energy efficient soldering processes
Heraeus Electronics has expanded its range of no-clean soldering pastes with a low melting point. The new F498 product series allows significant cost savings in the soldering process.The new series of soldering pastes is characterised by a low void rate and outstanding wetting properties on a wide range of different surfaces. This reduces the formation of solder balls (mid-chip balling).
Soldering station provides process traceability
Now available from Farnell element14, the Metcal CV-5200 Soldering Station incorporates Metcal’s patented Connection Validation technology to provide real-time closed-loop feedback on intermetallic compound formation: a key indicator of soldered joint quality. The CV-5200 also incorporates a new communication port that enables the addition of process traceability software and firmware upgrades, making investment in the unit future-proof.
