Trident Industrial Inkjet has announced the launch of its 256Jet-D
inkjet printhead. The printhead features durable stainless steel
construction that reportedly allows for printing of a variety of
direct-write printable electronic applications with up to five times
the resolution of screen printing.
The company reports that the product is designed for printing traces,
contacts, embedded passives and components on a PCB, as well as for the
printing of flexible photovoltaics, fuel cells and batteries in other
applications.
"As an additive process, inkjet is a very attractive option for direct
write, printable electronics," explained Steve Liker, Trident business.
"It allows manufacturers to print exactly the amount of material they
need, exactly where they need it, saving significant time and expense
when compared to subtractive printing methods that waste valuable
printing materials."
The 256Jet-D nozzle plate can reportedly be easily removed, cleaned and
reassembled, and users can purchase multiple interchangeable nozzle
plates to print different drop volume sizes using one printhead. The
product is available in two models, with drop volume ranges of 5 to 40
picoliters and 50 to 80 picoliters in size.
The printhead’s inert stainless steel construction has a claimed
resistance to the corrosive alkaline and acidic materials often used in
the deposition of printable electronic components. The printhead can
reportedly be heated to 70°C and jet fluids up to 30 cps, and print
materials with double the viscosity of traditional inkjet systems. The
product has a claimed lifespan of 90 billion firings.

CSP/BallNest Socket Provides Consistant Test and Burn-In |
Aries Electronics introduces the CSP/BallNest Hybrid Socket for test or burn-in of chip scale package, ball grid array, microBGA, land grid array and prototyping.
It can be used on any device having a pitch of 0.30 mm or larger. Features include a lid that nests each ball termination into the socket for a reliable connection and a four-point crown providing scrub on solder oxides.
It has a signal path of 0.0777 inches and provides minimal signal loss for higher bandwidth capability. Estimated contact life is 500,000 cycles, and the socket is available in custom materials, sizes, configurations and platings.
