IPC Apex Expo 2013 New Products

XJTAG v. 3.0 boundary scan development software is faster and more intuitive. Features run-time enhancements which boost the speed of XJEase testing and device programming in XJDeveloper and XJRunner. XJAnalyser can now be used as an integrated function in XJDeveloper as well as in its standalone form. Now uses knowledge contained in an XJDeveloper project (netlist information, constant pin settings, etc.), and XJAnalyser can open XJDeveloper and XJRunner projects, while XJDeveloper can access the full functionality of XJAnalyser. JTAG Chain Debugger now integrated into XJDeveloper.

Thermoset UR-288 urethane encapsulant cures at room temperature to produce a flame-retardant, semi-flexible material. Exhibits low shrinkage and stress on components as it cures, and maintains a low viscosity that reportedly achieves complete, void-free encapsulation. Suitable for curing at room temperature. Produces low exothermic heat rise during cure.
