Cleaning Equipment Trident QUAD automatic de-fluxing and cleanliness testing system from Aqueous Technologies Trident Quad is a fully automatic defluxing and cleanliness testing system designed to remove all flux residues from post-reflow circuit assemblies. Trident Quad is the only batch-format defluxing system that can produce throughput rates in excess of most inline configurations. While Trident Quad provides throughput rates greater than most inline defluxing systems, it requires only 40% of the water, 33% of the electrical energy, and 10% of the chemicals of comparable inline format defluxing systems. www.aqueoustech.com


Cleaning Materials AQUANOX® A4703 neutral pH cleaning chemistry from Kyzen Corp AQUANOX® A4703 was developed by Kyzen’s chemists in response to customer needs for a neutral product that works. Te challenge all along has been “how can you clean a large number of the very difficult lead-free and no-clean soils in our industry with an economical and eco-responsible material?” Two out of three of those goals (effective, economical & eco-friendly) have been achieved over the years, but AQUANOX® A4703 is the first to achieve all three. www.kyzen.com


Components DURA Kelvin contactors from Multitest DURA® Kelvin is a new contacting solution for final test. Te innovative solution provides optimum parameters based on the design of experiment methods. Optimized parameters include: contact force, contact scrub, spring tip geometry, spring coating, and surface roughness. Te architecture of the new DURA® Kelvin contactors allow users to adjust the parameters according to the specific final test application. Another important performance criteria is the lifespan of more than 1Mio for contact springs. www.multitest.com


Contract Services—Less than $100 million SIR test protocol from STI Electronics STI’s materials qualification test protocol utilizing a modification to standard SIR test procedures offers an accelerated method to qualify assembly materials and processes for high reliability (hi-rel) electronics hardware operating in harsh environments. With faster data sampling rates and a more aggressive test environment (moisture in addition to temperature cycling), STI’s accelerated SIR test protocol is designed to provide a cost-efficient, quick-turn evaluation of both assembly materials and manufacturing processes through industry standard SIR testing (captured every 24hrs) and STI’s supplementary voltage monitor testing (captured every 60 seconds). www.stielectronics.com


Contract Services—Greater than $100 million Focus Factory from Victron Victron deploys focus factories within each site to closely manage and ensure that the necessary and sufficient resources are allocated to each core factory of the company. Examples of the focus factories are: Medical Systems Integration Focus Factory, PCBA Focus Factory, Commercial Systems Integration Focus Factory and Service Focus Factory. Each of these focus factories narrows the tasks of each manufacturing operation and creates optimized performance of the manufacturing personnel. www.victron.com


Dispensing Equipment Spectrum® S-930N selective flux jetting system from Nordson ASYMTEK Te S-930N Selective Flux Jetting System improves package reliability, production throughput and material utilization over other methods of applying flux and precise coatings, including stencil printing, and dipping with a squeeze/doctor blade in chip placement machines. Separating flux and chip placement operations enables higher throughput. One S-930N customer reported throughput of 4,000 units per hour using 5x10 pallets with 15 mm2 www.nordsonasymtek.com
