Cool-Pad CPR7154 thermal interface material dispenses like a thermal pad, but is said to show characteristics of a grease or gel when device temperatures increase to above 45°C.
PCB analysis software with expanded AI-assisted workflows, including MCP connector services, AI Chat integration, AI-powered net grouping and a Script Editor with IntelliSense. Adds DFM fiducial-to-outline analysis, updated IPC-2581C, IPC-356 and ODB++ support, improved Gerber stackup recognition, enhanced DRC, DfT and stencil analysis, a new Production Tool Editor, VEC export for isyCAM test adapter manufacturing, and expanded BOM, panelization, component management and import/export capabilities.
Antenna Integrator Studio is a web-based RF engineering tool that streamlines antenna selection and PCB placement for wireless product designs. Users specify PCB dimensions, antenna quantity, target frequency bands and optimization priorities to generate recommended antenna configurations and placement locations with interactive performance data, including efficiency, return loss, peak gain and radiation patterns. The tool also provides downloadable DXF and 3D files for PCB integration, sample ordering and embedded antenna simulations to accelerate RF design and prototyping.
