Nordson DAGE Introduces 4000Plus Pad Cratering Inspection System
World’s fi rst pad cratering inspection system in full compliance with IPC-9708 test standards. Nordson Dage's Hot Bump Pull cratering
systemNordson DAGE, a division of Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ: NDSN) is pleased to announce that it has developed a unique patented technique for attaching a test probe to solder bumps or solder paste in order to perform a hot bump pull test in full accordance with the recently published IPC-9708 test standards for the detection of pad cratering for surface mount and printed circuit board assemblies. Pad cratering has become a major issue with lead-free assemblies and the development of the IPC-9708 standard together with the availability of the 4000Plus hot bump pull test methodology enables product developers to determine the optimum materials for their applications. The 4000Plus hot bump pull application is achieved by selecting a specialized load cartridge which can be programmed to apply a time-temperature refl ow profi le to individual solder bumps and/or bonds using a test probe.

Power analysis oscilloscope suits fi eld-based applications
The Tektronix TPS2000 series of power analysis oscilloscopes, available from TTid, has been updated to improve the viewability of the screen in fi eld-based applications. The new TPS2000B series
incorporates a brighter and higher-contrast screen which strongly improves the viewing experience in diffi cult lighting conditions or when viewing the screen from an acute angle, as can occur when working away from the bench. The TPS2000B differs from
conventional oscilloscopes in having four fully isolated channels, making it uniquely suitable for measurements on multi-phase power installations. Using P5120 passive high-voltage probes, fl oating and differential measurements up to
September 2011
600 V RMS Cat II can be made. As well as mains operation, the oscilloscopes can be operated from their built-in “hot swappable” batteries, which provide up to 8 hours continuous operation, making them
ideally suited to fi eld-based measurements. Standard FFT analysis
can be used to reveal signal interference, crosstalk and other effects visible only in the frequency domain. Optional power analysis software provides harmonics analysis, instantaneous power waveform analysis, switching loss, phase angles, and dv/dt and di/dt cursors. The TPS2000B series is
available in three versions with bandwidths up to 200 MHz and real-time sampling rates up to 2 GS/s. Prices start at stg£2,120
(plus VAT), and TTid keep models in stock for immediate delivery.
