These vertical thermal shock chambers incorporate a compact design, air-to-air, chamber with ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ zones for thermal shock testing. Hot zone has a temperature range of 70°C to 210°C; the cold zone has a temperature range of -75°C to 190°C. May be operated as an independent thermal cycling chamber. Offers interior workspace of 1 x 3', 3 x 3', and 9 x 3'. Features a CSZ EZT-560i touch-screen controller; incorporates data logging, data-file access via USB-compatible memory stick, Ethernet control and monitoring, alarm notification via email or phone text message, data-file backup, and full-system security. Also includes emergency-power switch, traveling cable port, casters and leveling legs.

Duralco 132 thermally conductive adhesives combine high-temperature resins with highly conductive fillers and continuous service up to 500ºF. Are said to be ideal for any industrial, electrical or electronic high-power application. Reportedly offer excellent resistance to chemicals solvents and moisture. 100% solids formulations. No volatiles. No VOCs. Are commonly used as heat-tracing adhesives to bond heating or cooling tubing to equipment.

These hot bar soldering systems are designed to bond unlikely materials to PCBs, such as flex circuits, ribbon cables, wires and edge connectors. Are semi-automatic pulse bonders that employ thermode technology to generate rapid reflow by pulse heating. Reportedly permit materials with low-temperature resistance to be soldered at Pb-free-compatible high temperatures without damage to the devices being permanently attached to circuit boards. System PBS212 offers an in/out shuttle that moves processing linearly; system PBS213 does it with an in/out 180º rotating table. Both perform the bonding process automatically. Soldering profile is programmable, including pressure, temperature, heat-up and cool-down times. Processing duration ranges 12 to 15 sec.
