Engenix v. 3.3.0 engineering automation software for printed circuit board manufacturing is for stackup and traveler automation, job management, communication and collaboration. Integrates CAM, shop floor, and business data. Includes features that center on improving the requirements of rigid-flex circuits, including a stackup editor permitting users to define the final customer product and the manufacturing details required for rigid-flex PCBs; unlimited flex-connector and secondary rigid sections can be added to accommodate complex designs; impedance calculations automatically take into account material changes in the flex sections for transmission lines originating the primary rigid section; optional 3-D graphics are available.

The 0.25mm pitch flexible printed circuit connector (slanting-inserted FPC type) facilitates more complicated circuit designs on smaller printed circuit boards. Boasts box-shaped, back-flip lock actuator and a lower contact point. Accommodates a pick-and-place nozzle; reportedly is easy to actuate and has better printed circuit retention. Is designed to accept a printed circuit at an angle, rather than horizontally. Is RoHS-compliant.

RO-LINX PowerCircuit busbars are for electric vehicle drives, hybrid electric vehicle drives and related charging systems. Other applications include solar power inverters, uninterruptable power supplies and industrial motor drives. Fill the gap between printed circuit board power distribution solutions and higher power laminated busbar systems. Eliminate assembly steps. For applications at current levels from 100A to 500A, and voltages to about 690V. Can be combined with industrial mounting of functional components, such as capacitors, sensors, and IGBTs. Incorporate closed mold design, using materials engineered for high-performance reliability in applications subject to conditions of high vibration and temperature cycling. 3-D designs are suited for medium- to high-volume assembly and most soldering processes. Are also compatible with interconnect systems, including press fit, bolted-on, riveted, and common soldering methods. Offer thermal management properties, and achieve high power efficiencies while minimizing switching losses and reducing partial discharge and transients.
