Henkel Intros Loctite Silicon-Based Electrically Conductive Adhesives
Irvine, CA — Henkel has developed a new portfolio of silicone-based elec- trically conductive adhesives (ECAs) with special properties to address harsh environmental conditions. The Loctite Ablestik ICP 4000 series of ECAs withstand operating tempera- tures as high as 200°C and deliver the flexibility required to cope with significant vibration. Traditionally, older-generation
epoxy-based ECAs have been utilized for certain automotive sensor appli- cations. As technology has pro- gressed, however, and sensor prox- imity to the heat and vibration source — the engine block — has become closer, epoxy systems are challenged to maintain long-term flexibility and conductivity. The Loctite Ablestik ICP 4000 materials overcome these challenges. Typical temperature, humidity, shock and storage testing evaluates ECA per- formance for a period of 1,000 to 1,500 cycles/hours. When validating the properties of the Loctite Ablestik ICP 4000 series materials, however, testing time periods were doubled. The new silicone-based ECAs showed good performance even after 3,000 hours of 85°C/85 percent RH temper- ature and humidity testing, 3,000 cycles of thermal shock analysis from
–40 up to 175°C, and 3,000 hours of heat storage at 175°C. These results clearly illustrate the materials’ capa- bility not only during cycling, but throughout long-term operation in the field as well. The new materials have been
formulated to provide a range of capability that focus on electrical
filled, heat-curable, silicone-based electrically conductive adhesives. The new silicone ECAs deliver improved flexibility over traditional epoxy-based materials, allowing for compensation of common CTE mis- matches and, therefore, the ability to survive extreme vibration over extended periods of time.

Agilent Intros Oscilloscope
Options Santa Clara, CA — Agilent Technologies Inc. has introduced enhancements to its InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series oscilloscopes that pro- vide more performance at a lower cost, making them suitable for edu- cational institutions, manufacturing test environments and R&D benches. The new capabilities for the
InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series bring more memory, and a variety of low- cost serial decoding options for com- puter and embedded systems design- ers, as well as automotive and aero- space manufacturers. The Agilent InfiniiVision 2000
X-Series offers bandwidths from 70MHz to 200MHz and has the fastest waveform update rate in its class for superior viewing of signal detail and infrequent events. These oscilloscopes enable engi-
