Omnitrol Networks and Texas Instruments Inc. (TI)
announced an alliance delivering a radio frequency identification (RFID)
product to PCB manufacturing applications. The product integrates Omnitrol
Networks' Work-in-Process software and TI's Gen 2 RFID technology and provides
electronic and contract manufacturers automated identifying and tracking of
PCBs from the manufacturing floor to customer delivery.

RFID's small chip size can reportedly allows PCB
manufacturers real-time work-in-process visibility into parts, labor and
finished goods throughout a manufacturing process. In addition, RFID solutions
provide claimed an accurate comprehensive view of manufacturing data on units
in production, including location, status, and time metrics.
Mikael Ahlund, of TI’s Instruments RFID Systems said,
"The PCB tracking solution combines Texas Instruments' experience in
electronics manufacturing along with our core competency in RFID with Omnitrol
Networks' Work-In-Process application appliance."
"The Omnitrol PCB tracking solution…allows us to
automatically maintain traceability on each component that goes into the
products we build. We have been able to replace… manual scanning with a
completely automated process," said Heinz Hornung, GM at TQ Components.

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.
