Therm-A-Gap T652 thermally conductive dispensable gap filler is a fully cured, single-component material suitable for filling variable gaps between multiple components and a common heatsink. Has a high thermal conductivity of 3W/m-k and an operating temperature range of -50ºC to +150ºC. Applications include automotive ECUs, electrical drives, light-emitting-diode modules and power semiconductors. Is conformable at low assembly pressures and is said to be suitable for providing a filler for gaps between 0.2 mm and 4 mm. Is RoHS-compliant and has a shelf life of 18 months. Can be applied manually using a syringe or via automated processes. Package sizes range from 10 cc syringes to 5 kg pails.

Alpha CVP-360 Pb-free, no-clean solder paste is formulated with low-Ag SACX 0807 and 0307 alloys. Reportedly delivers excellent printing characteristics, permitting the use of Type-3 solder powder, even when 300 µm features are being printed using a 125 µm stencil. Permits high-speed printing; reduced stencil-cleaning frequency. Has a wide reflow process window.

The ESD Pro Event Detector and the Ground Pro Ground Integrity Meter are designed to protect sensitive electronics components and help prevent equipment malfunction by detecting ESD, EMI and measuring ground impedance. The latter helps diagnose and troubleshoot ESD issues, evaluate ESD-protective equipment and qualify tools. Measures the effectiveness of ESD safeguards. Detects and counts discharges, and monitors the relative strength of each ESD event. Audio alarm alerts to an event while an LED bar graph displays the event strength. Rejects most non-ESD related electromagnetic interference events. Ground Pro measures ground impedance to the milliohms and verifies grounding parameters in accordance with ANSI 6.1 and ANSI/ESDA S.20.20 standards. Is said to provide accurate measurements of ground impedance on a working tool when ground noise is present. Measures AC and DC voltage on the ground while separately measuring EMI. Both are handheld.
