Santa Rosa, CA — SCHURTER has introduced its new reflowable ther- mal switch (RTS), a compact device for thermal protection. Due to their inherent self-reinforcing heat-pro- ducing behavior, power semiconduc- tors such as MOSFETs, ICs, IGBTs, TRIACs, and SCRs, can overheat and lead to thermal runaway. The RTS is designed to protect against such overheating, reliably interrupting the circuit precisely at a predefined temperature. The RTS can be mounted using
conventional reflow soldering tech- niques with temperature profiles up to 500°F (260°C). After the solder process, the RTS is mechanically acti- vated by depressing the top into place, arming it to trip at 410°F (210°C). It can be performed manual- ly or automatically in the case of sev- eral devices being activated at once. In contrast to devices using electrical activation, with an additional con- tact, the status of the RTS is clearly and immediately visible to the installer. The need for an additional contact is also eliminated. The RTS sustains operating

currents up to 100A at rated voltages of up to 60 VDC in a remarkably compact package that measures 0.3 x 0.4 in. (6.6 x 8.8 mm) in size. Customer-specific versions are avail- able. Added features include inte- grated shunt or over-current protec- tion, resulting in more available
space on the PCB. Contact: SCHURTER, Inc., 447

Fujipoly Launches Brand-New Website
Carteret, NJ — Based on customer feedback, Fujipoly® has designed and launched a new website. The new site is the fastest and easiest way to specify and order Sarcon® thermal interface materials (TIMs), Zebra® elastomeric connectors and custom silicone extrusions. From a desktop computer,
phone or tablet, customers can instantly request product samples, get quotes and access detailed mate- rial performance data. For those who require more specific attention, an “ask the engineer” feature enables one-on-one communication with a Fujipoly technical representative. The new site is designed to sig-
nificantly improve customer service and engineering response during
both business and non-business hours. The website can be found at

TMC Develops Vibration Cancellation Table
Peabody, MA — Technical Manufac - turing Corporation (TMC), a business unit of AMETEK Ultra Precision Technologies, has installed a custom CleanTop® vibration cancellation table for a research project at Arrival Heights Laboratory in Antarctica. The company now has systems installed on all seven continents. The CleanTop steel honeycomb
optical top system will support the research station’s lasers, including a new STAR Na Doppler lidar system and the existing Fe Boltzmann lidar for atmosphere and space research. The CleanTop system has a staggered- hole design that provides exceptional flatness stiffness, damping, and ther- mal stability, with a ferromagnetic stainless steel surface and a grid of black-sealed tapped holes. The installation at Arrival
Heights involved scientists from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at
the University of Colorado. The CleanTop system is designed to ensure that the CIRES team’s com-
