The system is powered directly through the Inspectis digital microscope to simplify cable management. A detachable diffuser is included, and an optional polarizer/analyzer filter kit is available.

Vishay Intertechnology has released the RCA-SR e3 series AEC-Q200 qualified standard thick film chip resistors designed for sulfur-containing environments. Offered in 0201, 0402, 0603, 0805 and 1206 case sizes, the devices provide resistance values from 10Ω to 10MΩ, including 0Ω jumpers, with tolerances of ±1% and ±5% and TCR of ±100ppm/K and ±200ppm/K. The resistors are rated for power up to 0.25W and operating voltages from 30V to 200V, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. The series meets ASTM B809-25 sulfur resistance testing with a maximum resistance drift of 1% after 1000 hours at 60°C and specifies ΔR/R ≤ 1% after 1000 hours of rated power at 70°C. The devices feature a protective coating for environmental protection and pure matte tin terminations compatible with lead-free and lead-containing solder processes.

OM Digital Solutions has released the TG-7 Industry NY-TGV Super Adapter Kit, a digital camera and microscope adapter system designed to enable digital imaging from binocular stereoscopic microscopes used in inspection, research, and testing. Integrates the TG-7 Industry digital camera with the NY-TGV Super Adapter, allowing microscopes to be converted for digital image capture and live viewing without modification to the optical system. The camera supports HDMI output for external monitors, wireless image transfer and remote operation, and includes a dedicated microscope adapter mode along with date stamping and support for write-once memory cards for documentation purposes.

Henkel has released Loctite Stycast UV 7998, a solvent-free conformal coating formulated for environmental protection of printed circuit boards in mainstream electronics applications. The material is UL 94 V-0 rated and designed for use in appliances, lighting, consumer electronics and automotive electronics. Loctite Stycast UV 7998 is a UV-curable coating with a secondary moisture cure.  The formulation is VOC-free and solvent-free and requires lower applied volume than solvent-based coatings to achieve comparable film thickness. The material is tin-free, halogen-free and BPA-free.

Koh Young will preview Revolution to Success (RtoS), a next-generation inspection software platform designed to unify inspection functions within a single operating environment. The platform brings programming, review, analytics and process optimization into an interface. RtoS is built to manage inspection data more efficiently. The platform supports integration across Koh Young’s AI-powered inspection ecosystem, including closed-loop optimization in printing and placement processes.

Magnalytix has released OE in a Box, a packaged objective evidence kit designed to support J-STD assembly cleanliness and reliability validation. The kit consolidates materials required for Surface Insulation Resistance testing and objective evidence generation, including B-52 Legacy 2 SIR test cards, components, and supporting materials, into a single manufacturer-delivered package. OE in a Box is intended to streamline objective evidence workflows for electronics manufacturers and aligns with third-party validation and reporting requirements used in assembly qualification and compliance programs.

Stackpole Electronics has released the RNCA Series automotive-grade thin film chip resistors. The AEC-Q200 qualified RNCA Series is manufactured on dedicated production lines with controlled materials and processes to improve electrical stability and environmental resistance. The resistors are engineered to be anti-moisture and anti-sulfur. According to Stackpole, the RNCA Series demonstrates failure rates reduced by a factor of ten or more versus conventional thin film resistors, while maintaining performance across all required automotive qualification tests.

Vishay Intertechnology has released four new power inductors in 0806 and 1210 case sizes, expanding its IHLL (commercial grade) and IHLP (AEC-Q200 automotive grade) portfolios. The IHLL-0806AZ-1Z and IHLL-1210AB-1Z, along with the automotive-qualified IHLP-0806AB-5A and IHLP-1210ABEZ-5A, support inductance values from 0.22µH to 4.70µH with typical DCR as low as 6.6mΩ. The devices operate up to +165°C. The inductors use a composite powdered-iron construction that fully encapsulates the windings. Automotive versions feature side-plated terminations to support solder fillets and inspection, while commercial versions use bottom-only terminations.

Adaptsys Group has released 3DInspect, an automated system for inspecting carrier tape pockets and generating Certificates of Conformance (CoCs). 3DInspect measures carrier tape dimensions and produces inspection reports automatically, reducing inspection time per reel from up to 30 minutes to about one minute. The system replaces manual inspection and documentation. The system can be used as a standalone inspection tool or integrated into tape-and-reel operations. 

Count On Tools’ new custom large-format vacuum nozzle is designed for Yamaha YRM pick-and-place platforms for handling stability and pickup reliability for larger and heavier SMT components used in high-mix production environments. Features a 25mm base diameter to increase surface contact during vacuum pickup and is precision-machined to fit ANE locations 64, 66, and 68. includes a 15.0mm O-ring.
