Sarcon SPG-30A is a high-viscosity, thermal interface silicone compound designed to transfer heat from a board-level source to a heat sink or heat spreader. Offers a thermal conductivity of 3.2 W/m°K. Also a thermal management option for electronic devices that operate at higher frequencies. Exhibits near-zero compression force and conforms to all component shapes and sizes. Is for filling large gaps around circuit board solder points. Requires no heat curing, will not cause corrosion on metal surfaces, and maintains all initial properties across a temperature range between -40º and 150ºC. Is available in 30cc tubes, 330cc cartridges and 10L pails.

MCP screen printer has a head design with variable attack angle printing that reportedly permits constant solder pressure independent of stencil thickness. Single-head system reportedly reduces maintenance by half. Board cycle time is as low as 11 sec. Reduces defect per million figures by up to 50%. Has a flat-metal single-head squeegee. Variable angle print head improves repeatability of paste deposition for 01005 components. Produces solder shapes with stencil thickness down to 50 µm, and half-edging stencils with stencil steps of 30 to 50 µm. Is ideal for PCBs mixing 01005 (0.4 mm x 0.2 mm) types with larger component sizes.

DCA-FD is a modified silicone conformal coating said to dry to the touch in 20 min. Increased solids content reportedly gives 35% greater coverage per liter compared to standard DCA. Has a wide operating temperature range and is suitable for a range of commercial and high-rel applications. Has lower VOC levels compared to standard DCA. Has excellent adhesion and is resistant to most solvents, lubricants and chemicals. Is highly resistant to mold growth and UV light. Can be sprayed, dipped or brushed. Is RoHs-compliant and meets UL746CQMJU2, DEF-STAN 59/47(4), and IPC-CC-830.
