TEST TERMINALS WITH ENHANCED RELIABILITY
The Oxley SMOX Series of surface mount test terminals for PCB assembly line testing is now available from Aerco. The SMOX Series’ retention mechanism enhances reliability through low stress contact. Two different versions are available – HT Type SMOX for use with RoHS compliant lead-free solders (high temperature) and Standard Type SMOX for use with tin solders (lower temperature). The SMOX Series is compatible with pick and
place machines for automated manufacturing processes and also available loose for hand assembly. Featuring a specially designed socket, the SMOX Series is said to be the only surface mount ball and socket test point currently available on the market offering easy low contact resistance and gentle detachment. The single pole devices require a tiny minimum pad size of only 2mm, so are suitable for testing even very tightly congested PCB designs. Highly resilient, they can be used over a temperature range of -55˚C to +125˚C. The test point and socket body is manufactured from copper alloy with a gold- plated test point finish as standard, optional Palladium, silver, nickel, and tin lead finishes are also available.

LIGHT HOUSING FEATURES CENTRALISED LOCKING
The CombiTac System from Stäubli Electrical Connectors now features a light housing with centralised locking. The new housing was designed for industrial test applications, e.g. in the automotive, aerospace and defence industries. The centralised locking mechanism is said to be as easy to use as “a quarter-turn to open, a quarter- turn to close.” In an electrical testing lab, a
large number of signal connections are needed between test instruments and the units under test. They need to be
connected quickly and easily— and that’s where the CombiTac light housing comes in, providing simple, fast and secure connection and disconnection of test instruments and units under test. Once plugged in, the housing can be opened quickly, allowing for direct access to contacts so that electrical measurements can be made. The light housing can combine signals at high density: up to 320 contacts with a diameter of 0.6mm. Modular, user-friendly design is at the forefront.
