Count On Tools Inc. unveils new StripFeeder Modular System
Count On Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, introduces the latest version of its revolutionary StripFeeder System for loading tape-and-reel components onto compact modules for prototyping and high-mix/low-volume applications. The new Modular StripFeeder
now features adjustable rails to accommodate a wide array of components in the same feeder. Unlike the fixed width version, the modular StripFeeder can be adjusted by unlocking the rails and sliding them to the desired width. The innovative design holds the components securely in the tracks to prevent parts from being miss- picked, flipped in the pocket or lost. Customers also can remove rails to accommodate larger components up to 120 mm tape width, and larger in some cases. The new StripFeeder systems are a cost-effective way to load many
Dual LNB supply and control voltage regulator IC
components in the machine without having to purchase expensive feeders. The quick-to-assemble, easy-to-install modules are designed for quick loading of tape-and-reel components on existing SMT pick-and-place equipment. Additionally, the trays enable fast changeover between product runs without unloading from the machine. The StripFeeder trays are
compatible with both paper and emboss tape simultaneously, and are ideal for low-volume/high- mix applications and prototyping. Additionally, the trays are compatible with any style SMT pick-and-place equipment or JEDEC-style tray feeders. For more information about Count

Intertronics speeds up masking For electronics
Designed for rapid masking of electronic components and assemblies, the new Ultra- Light Weld 9-20479-B from Intertronics provides protection from reflow or wave soldering processes and shields no-go areas during conformal coating application. This easily dispensed mask enables accurate placement and cures in seconds to maximize production throughput with the highest levels of quality. The 9-20479-B is a blue, peelable masking material
from Intertronics sales partner DYMAX which cures in seconds when exposed to UV/Visible light. It is extremely thixotropic and is ideal for manual or automated dispensing on boards or components that may be difficult to mask with other methods. Material composition features no solvent, silicone or VOCs, while its
performance ensures that cured masks withstand wave solder and reflow temperatures and are easily removed, eliminating the concern of ionic contamination or silicone left behind by other masking methods. For further information please see

The new A8299 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a robust dual-channel low-noise block (LNB) regulator designed to provide the power and interface signals via coaxial cable to the LNB down- converters used in analogue and digital satellite receivers. The A8299 is a monolithic linear
and switching voltage regulator which minimises the need for external components by integrating the boost switch and compensation circuitry within the low-profile package. The boost regulator architecture
allows the use of smaller external components such as ceramic capacitors, which minimises the solution footprint and height profile as opposed to using electrolytic capacitors. The A8299 offers an adjustable LNB
output current limit from 250 to 950 mA, and features inbuilt diagnostics and a wide range of protection capabilities. The features, functions, and high level of performance and robustness easily meet or exceed industry requirements for the latest generation of satellite set-top boxes. The A8299SETTR-T is supplied in a small (5 mm × 5 mm) low-profile (0.9 mm) QFN 28-pin package (suffix ET). Please click here to download a
