New brochure presents electronics packaging solutions for bus-based systems
Electronics packaging specialist Schroff has produced a new brochure summarising the company’s comprehensive product offering and support
services for bus architectures such as CompactPCI, VME, VME64x, VPX, MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA. The 8-page colour brochure
highlights Schroff’s range of complete bus-based systems, which typically comprise a subrack or case with integrated backplane, power supply, cooling unit and system management module. There is also an overview of the
company’s extensive engineering capabilities, including details of configuration and modification services, custom product design, development, testing, prototyping and production. The brochure can be obtained by visiting

Pickering Interfaces adds to range of PXI Power Matrices
Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI power matrices with the introduction of the 40-549 and 40-551. The 40-549 is a 5A matrix available
in a variety of 32 and 64 crosspoint configurations with Y axis sizes of x4 and x8. Maximum switching voltage is 110VDC or 250VAC. The 40-551 is a 10A matrix
configured as an 8x4 matrix that 42 EIU
Manncorp’s updated split-vision rework station
A rework station with higher- resolution split-vision for easier and more accurate alignment has been introduced by Manncorp. The lead- free system BR750, to be exhibited at Manncorp’s APEX booth #2907, also contains ultra-precise processing controls to meet the challenge of removal and placement of BGAs, CSPs, QFNs, PoPs and other subminiature surface mount devices. A key to the system’s enhanced performance is its innovative heating, including independent and fully programmable top and bottom hot air, plus rapid on/ off IR underheaters. The latter eliminates thermal tension that can damage boards or components adjacent to those being processed. With eight different set points, exact thermal conditions can be produced for profiles containing heating rate, target temperature, dwell time and cooling. The profiles are shown in real time on a convenient LCD display. After entering their size, SMDs are automatically pre-aligned and picked up
from the component nest at their exact centers. An upward-looking camera then verifies positioning at all four corners of each device, while split-vision optics and electronic zoom adjustment of up to 22x does the fine tuning. This procedure is said to be extremely efficient in handling rework involving removal and placement of the same components repeatedly. Added guidance comes from LED lighting that clearly projects superimposed images of component leads and PCB pads on a full color LCD display. The BR750 will handle PCBs up to 500mm x 550mm and component sizes
from 1mm x 1mm to 60mm x 60mm. “Our customers are most impressed with the advanced capabilities
and performance of BR750 and equally amazed at its breakthrough price of only $19,995,” CEO Henry Mann stated. “By making quick work of desoldering, component removal, resoldering and placement, this machine will most assuredly prove to be a wise investment.” For details, access Manncorp750rework, call 1.800.PIK MANN (745.6266) or e-mail

switches voltages up to 125VDC and 250VAC and features an optional loop thru facility that simplifies user cabling when the matrix size is expanded through the use of additional modules. The 40-551 is also available in 8x2 and 4x4 configurations. Both the 40-549 and 40-551 use
high quality electromechanical relays (EMR’s) which offer long service life. Pricing and availability information is supplied on our web site
