This series of 22 electrically conductive contact rings are for microwave cavity, tuning and EMI shielding applications. The beryllium copper rings are manufactured from standard finger stock gasket styles. Said to provide attenuation of unwanted microwave and RF interference for applications with round-shaped plug openings. Rings are formed with curved contacts on the outside or inside diameter. Bright finish standard; 10 surface finish plating options available.

Portable XRF is a fast and easy solution for Due Diligence for RoHS Compliance Screening. In a matter of seconds, it can simultaneously screen for all five restricted RoHS elements- Hg, Cd, Cr, Br and Pb. It is a non-destructive, in-situ screening method for PVC, PE, alloys, metals, solders, ceramics and packaging materials. The Pocket PC operation of the Innov-X Alpha handheld XRF along with its 5-position filter wheel offers optimization for the wide range of possible RoHS sample types--polymers, assorted alloys, electronics, mixed components, chrome coatings, etc. Innov-X RoHS screening protocols include methods for PCBs, electronic components, Cr coatings and coated leads. The Alpha Handheld XRF RoHS-Star Software automatically decides if sample is an alloy or polymer; automatically classifies sample as homogenous or not; allows operators to setup own testing protocol or use IEC Guidelines; and can be set to display all elements, RoHS elements only or selected elements. The operation of the Innov-X Alpha handheld XRF will be presented along with RoHS Compliance screening applications data.
