NexJet system jetting technology contains Genius jet cartridge, a one-piece jet removable without tools. Has built-in memory to store usage data such as number of cycles and cartridge type. Includes software control of jetting process; accommodates both low- and high-viscosity fluids and a range of fluids for applications such as flip chip underfill, chip-scale package, ball grid array, package-on-package underfill, precise coating, and adhesive dispensing. Cartridge dispenses up to 50 million cycles before replacement is necessary, depending on application. Memory stores usage data that is communicated to dispenser; notifies operator when correct cartridge is installed or needs replacement.

DB-1590 is a solder replacement in for crystalline silicon solar modules using thinned silicon or plated bus bars. Is optimized for conductivity and stability on various substrates when cured at 200°C. Is said to gel in 5 sec. or less at 200°C, developing sufficient strength to withstand the applied stresses induced by the manufacturing process until the adhesive cure is completed during the encapsulant lamination process. Rheology optimized for dispensing, damp heat resistance and conductivity stability on tin, SnAg and Ag-plated ribbons. Is stable on OSP treated copper and nickel bus bars.

vVision AOI software verification station displays defect images and features. AOI results are verified and an evaluation is made. Inspection data can be used for various evaluations, including statistical process control. vVerify customizes configuration of the displayed information regarding selection and positioning of the additional images. Ninety-five percent of defects can be directly classified with the defect image transferred from the AOI without reference to actual board. In ValidCompareMode, a previously validated good image is offered for comparison to each defect image. Defect location and additional information can be displayed on a second monitor or through the shift key.

Shrouded male pin connectors are for frequently mated interconnects and blind mate conditions. Double row connectors come in 4- to 64-pin configurations, in through-hole and surface mount termination styles. Shroud extends above pins to limit misalignment between connectors during mating and de-mating. PTH and SMT versions are dual-row with 0.100" spacing pin-to-pin and row-to-row. Connector body is molded from high-temperature thermoplastic with thermal stability, chemical resistance and flammability rating of UL94 V-0. Pins are made from precision-machined brass. Engaging leads are 0.030" in diameter, 0.142" long and gold-plated. Are RoHS compliant and suitable for Pb-free reflow.
