Benefits include optimized wetting properties and, according to the company, the shiniest solder joints of any no-clean, solvent-based chemistry. With a typical solids content of 2.9%, the flux leaves evenly distributed residues. Contains a small percentage of rosin (0.5%), which improves solderability, heat stability and surface insulation resistance. Designed to minimize the incidence of micro-solderballs.
Can be applied to circuit boards by a spray, foam or dip process. Non-corrosive, halogen-free, Bellcore-compliant and classified ORL0 per J-STD-004. Flux residues are non-conductive and do not require removal in most applications.

Utilize advanced thick film technology to provide low capacitance (typically 0.25 pF) for ESD protection in high-speed data transmission applications. The devices perform better than comparable components in transmission line pulse (TLP) testing. Offer lower trigger and clamping voltages than typical polymeric ESD devices, resulting in improved protection of sensitive electronic components. Said to perform better in IEC61000-4-2 testing, especially after multiple hits (up to 1000).
Available in standard EIA sizes 0402 and 0603, with a quad-array in 1206 coming soon. Compatible with standard surface-mount and reflow installation procedures, available in tape and reel packaging.

MMCX, MCX and SMA connectors have been added to the Samtec product line.
Micro-Mini connectors (MMCX) are available as jacks and plugs with a choice of through-hole, surface-mount and edge-mount terminations. A "ganged" variation of the through-hole option is also offered for terminating two, four, six or eight connectors to the board simultaneously (useful in board stacking applications).
Mini connectors (MCX Series) are also available as jacks and plugs with a choice of through-hole, surface-mount and edge-mount terminations. SMA jacks are available with through-hole, edge-mount and panel-mount terminations.
Cable plug terminations are available for all these interfaces, as are custom RF cable assemblies.
