Sarcon 100GR-FL is a low-resistance, durable thermal interface gap filler pad. Is gel-like, and manufactured with an integrated nylon mesh layer said to prevent distortion and stretching during die-cut operations. When placed between a heat source and nearby heat sink, transfers heat with a thermal conductivity of 2.8W/m-K and a thermal resistance of .67°Cin²/W at 14.5 PSI. Is 1-mm thick, flame-retardant and comes in sheets up to 300 x 200 mm.

Flexield IRJH3 magnetic sheets suppress electromagnetic noise radiated by ICs and flexible PCBs, especially at frequencies of 500 MHz to 2 GHz. Original soft magnetic materials and polymer materials were combined to create a magnetic powder. Reportedly attenuate noise at frequencies from 10 MHz to 3 GHz. Have a certified flammability rating of UL94V-0.

High-density, 0.050" pitch through-hole and surface mount spring-loaded connectors come in single and double-row strip packaging. Spring pin components are plated with 20 µm hard gold and assembled in a high-temperature thermoplastic insulator suitable for wave and reflow soldering processes. Are RoHS-compliant.

Series 854-22-0XX-10-001101 and 855-22-0XX-10-001101 through-hole insulators feature molded standoffs. Tail diameters of 0.016" require minimal diameter plated holes for connector mounting. Surface mount spring connectors are low profile, standing less than 0.230" tall when engaged mid-stroke (0.0275"). Each SMT spring pin features a base geometry of 0.030" round by 0.010" tall.

Through-hole (Series 856-10-0XX-10-051000 and 857-10-0XX-10-051000) and surface mount (Series 856-10-0XX-30-051000 and 857-10-0XX-30-051000) 0.050" pitch target connectors provide a gold-plated, flat and conductive mating surface for the 854/855 series. Series 856/857 are precision-machined and assembled into thermoplastic insulators. Suitable for reflow soldering.
