S3016 inspects through-hole and surface mount selective solder joints on double-sided PCBs and other similar applications. Detects open solder joints, bridges, missing leads and other defects from below, and eliminates PCB flip stations.  
 
Employs a 6M-camera to maximize inspection depth and speed. An X/Y positioning unit guides the camera module beneath the PCB to capture images from specified locations. Images are evaluated while the camera moves to its next position.

Model 2600-001-006/7 dispense valve is for high flow rates and precise fluid control of level-seeking materials. Is said to be ideal for applications requiring high-volume fluid transfer, precise-level control for filling operations, and dripless valve shutoff.
 
The valve assembly consists of a double-acting actuator, a 13.7” long extension nozzle and a carbide Tip-Seal needle. For high-volume fluid transfer, the Tip-Seal Valve can flow up to 6 gpm (22.7 lpm) with the 0.406” orifice nozzle. The 29:1 air-to-fluid power ratio reportedly provides instantaneous on-off control of material flow.
 
The valve has 3/4”-NPT fluid-inlet ports for high-volume flow of materials. The Tip-Seal dispense valve is double-air-operated through 1/4”-NPT ports.

RunnerClick and Express RunnerClick JTAG test execution packages are for checking test devices, boards, and systems compliance with IEEE-STD-1149.1 Reportedly allow non-engineers to run different test procedures on multiple products. Test procedures can be run by product serial numbers, and are compatible with all previous RunnerClick and Express RunnerClick test plans. Include a cross-reference table to specify acceptable serial numbers and point to a specific test plan to open automatically when the software detects a valid serial number.  
 

The Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Connector family reportedly provides more reliable solutions for storage interface than parallel ATA connectors. The components were designed on a 1.27 mm in-line contact pitch and are recognized in two interface segments: signal and power. The 7-position Signal Cable Assemblies come in right angle or straight configurations, in 0.5 and 1 m lengths, and are designed to support the Generation I and II transmission specifications. The 22-position Combo Receptacle is designed for backplane interfaces and comes in SMT, vertical and extended height, through-hole, and vertical for backplanes. The 22-position Combo Plug is used on the device side and uses gullwing surface mount tails. It includes the L-shaped polarization and guide rails to ensure consistent and accurate blind mating. The assembly uses 18 AWG wire to distribute power along with two common grounds per 15-position power segment.
