The NanoBond bonding material manufactured by Reactive NanoTechnologies, Inc. (RNT) has exceeded testing through 1000 thermal cycles with no degradation in thermal performance or bond strength.

The product was tested at -40ºC to +110ºC, per IEC 62108, Test 10.6. Testing at 110ºC typically concludes at 500 cycles, but the testing was continued through 1000 cycles. Thermal conductivity was measured by laser flash technique.

NanoBond is used to bond microelectronic and photovoltaic components to PCBs or heat sinks at room temperature.

The PicoStar package from Texas Instruments uses up to 80% less board space. According to TI this ultra-thin package is the first to give system designers the option to embed silicon components inside the PCB to decrease the board space used for EDS protection.

The TPD2E007 is a two-channel electrostatic discharge (ESD) solution with a back-to-back diode array that allows AC-coupled data transmission without compromising signal integrity. Designers have the option to surface mount or embed the TPD2E007 into the board/connector for ESD protection. The ability to embed this device can save up to 80% board space compared to typical ESD solutions.

Ecliptek Corp. introduces IPC-1752-2, an automated one-step process for IPC-1752. The company has added second-level interconnect terminal plating material composition information for its crystal resonator and quartz crystal oscillator product lines.

Available through Ecliptek’s online RoHS tool, customers are able to enter a part number and to generate a product series IPC-1752-2 material composition declaration.

The IPC-1752-2 generates RoHS certification based on a specific part number and is designed to automatically provide certifications and material declarations on available Ecliptek RoHS-compliant equivalent part numbers.

Fujipoly introduces GR-H and XR-H, gap fillers. The thermal interface materials have a unique hardened top surface. The company reports that the thermal pad adheres to the electrical component or opposing heat sink and can easily release during disassembly for re-work or repair, preventing damage and tearing.

The products are available in eight formulations, offering thermal conductivity from 1.2 W/m°K to 17.0 W/m°K. Thicknesses range from 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm, with a maximum dimension of 200 mm by 300 mm. The material easily conforms to uneven components and makes a complete thermal transfer contact.

DownStream Technologies releases CAM350 XL, a post-process tool, that according to the company, provides the following key features:

Multi-level Analysis
CAM350 XL supports multiple levels of analysis from cursory visual inspection of design/Gerber/ODB++ data to Netlist comparison of outputs to original design data, to full blown Design for Fabrication (DFF) analysis.

Tooling Output Extraction
CAM350 XL outputs all major industry formats for Gerber including Barco, Fire 9000, RS274X/D, ODB++, NC Milling / Drilling including Sieb and Meyer 1000/3000 and Excellon. CAM350 XL also supports IPC-D-356 standard netlist generation for both the PCB and stepped up assembly panel.

PCB Documentation
Drag and drop PCB views onto drawing sheets and format with other drawing elements to create detailed fabrication, assembly, panel and custom drawings needed to document a PCB design. Any Gerber, PDF, DXF data imported to the release package can be dragged onto a drawing sheet for further instruction clarity.

Release Package Creation/Distribution
CAM350 XL creates a single electronic Release Package database. A single data file that contains all design information, Gerber files, NC files, PDF and DXF files, and related PCB documentation for distribution to document control, procurement, and manufacturing.

ECO Automation
The CAM350 XL suite provides a platform to graphically compare two design database revisions.
