XT-657 flame retardant bonding tape helps prevent the propagation of fire, provides dielectric separation between electrical circuits, and eliminates mechanical fasteners in battery assemblies and packs. Halogen-free UL94 VTM-0 tested tape provides a thin conformal bond line and offers an adhesive strength of greater than 32 oz/in (>35N/100 mm). Is used to attach batteries and components to chassis, boards, other batteries, etc. Is REACH and RoHS compliant; includes a 25µm polyimide film, two layers of 1 mil acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive and liners that aid in handling, die cutting and auto application. Has dielectric strength of >7.6 kV/mil (>299kV/mm).
A free introductory version of Dfe Online design for environment training program has been added to the Autodesk Exchange Apps store. Teaches DfE principles, how-to methods and tools for developing products that are reportedly in compliance, more reliable and efficient, and less costly to produce. Includes hundreds of tools, tips, compliance information, case studies, videos, and interactive exercises.
A free rigid waveguide slide rule app for mobile devices is now available for download to iOS and Android devices. Enables design engineers to input their own waveguide rectangular designations to perform complex conversions and determine operating parameters. By entering WR dimensions, a user can generate material specifications, including recommended operating frequency rate (GHz), flange type, and waveguide dimensions (in.).
MSO/DPO70000DX series of performance oscilloscopes feature models with 23GHz, 25GHz, and 33GHz bandwidth and tools for debugging digital and analog circuits. Have 16 digital channels. Provide 80 ps timing resolution that enables feedback on logic or protocol performance for serial buses like USB, I2C, and SPI in real-time, while performing analog validation of high-speed DDR memory on the 4 high-bandwidth channels. Analog-only DPO70000DX versions provide options to add digital channels as needs change via a customer-installable kit. Include iCapture simultaneous digital-analog acquisition capability. Feature dynamic range of 600mV/div (6V full scale) at max. voltage setting. Support a more than 300,000 wfms/s acquisition rate.
K2000 is tooling for circular blade depanelizers. Has an XY table to hold panels in place as they are being singulated. One variation, built with a two-position tooling plate, is designed for singulating SIMM cards. Allows 5 Simm cards with carrier strips to be fixed in place on tooling pins (2 per card). After removal of the first holding strip, the entire set is moved into position for cutting the other carrier strip. Standard modular tooling guides the operator to align panels onto the linear blade. This allows skip scored panels to be placed and held while the circular blade travels across the score line.
GigaSync high-speed printed circuit laminate/prepreg material reportedly eliminates skew issues in high-speed designs that use differential pairs to create a balanced transmission system able to carry differential signals across a printed circuit board. Reduces weave-induced skew on high-speed designs from 25Gb/s up to 100Gb/s as tested on a Signal Integrity test vehicle. Offers thermal performance. Comes with reverse-treated foil and VLP-2, low profile copper with 2µm surface roughness copper foil.
