DC100 digital precision dispenser adds programmable features, giving more functionality and control over dispensing applications. Alarms can be set to notify when material life has ended or fluctuations in dispensing pressure have occurred. Auto purge function prevents premature curing of material when dispenser is not in operation. Air output and vacuum are now digitally displayed and can be set with tolerances. Can save up to 10 programs; provides five different dispensing modes. Has an I/O connection and lockable programs.

Dow Corning EA-4600 hot melt room temp. vulcanization black adhesive is for assembly of consumer electronics and other high-volume manufacturing operations. Is formulated to dispense easily and achieve instant green strength. Is a reactive material that can be applied as a liquid melt in <0.5-mm-wide bonding lines. Cools quickly and cures at room temp. to become a viscoelastic polymer that provides adhesion to common plastic and metal substrates. Offers service temp. from -40° to 150°C. Softens when exposed to high temp.; reverts to typical properties after cooling. Incorporates UV markers to support automated UV inspection of finished parts. Can be reworked within 24 hr. of application. Is a solventless, one-component, moisture-cure silicone material.

Models 34465A DMM (6½ digit) and 34470A DMM (7½ digit) are Truevolt series digital multimeters. Can visualize measurement data, get actionable information, and document results. Can provide trend and histogram charts. Offer three acquisition modes: continuous running for typical measurements, data logging for trend analysis, and digitizing for capturing transients. The 7-½ digit 34470A DMM reportedly provides greater resolution and accuracy. Both offer deeper memory for data storage than previous generation DMMs. Have the ability to measure low current, 1µA range with pA resolution, for measurements on very low power devices. Offer auto calibration. Have digital direct sampling techniques to make AC rms measurements.
