n Single-Use Tubing
Qosina, Ronkonkoma, NY, has expanded its Class VI tubing portfolio
with several new brands, including Venabio®, Braided Flexelene™, Flexelene
135C™, and EJ Prene™. Stock and custom tubing is available in
small coils for prototyping and extended lengths for large-scale production
requirements. More than 200 options in a variety of brands, types,
diameters, durometers, and materials are offered. Custom tubing configurations are available to
meet exact specifications including cut-to-length pieces and custom coil sizes, colors, and materials.

n Embedded Processors
Premio, Los Angeles, CA, has released an x86 single board computer
(SBC) in support of the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded SoC (system on
chip). The SBC includes multi-core performance and rich visual
graphics from AMD's semiconductor design. The 3.5-in. CT-DR101
series is designed to provide low-power processing with performance efficiency. Two DDR4 SODIMM
slots handle up to 32GB of ECC/non-ECC memory for powerful data processing and smooth
multitasking from various IoT sensors and devices at the rugged edge. The 1.8-in. CT-NR101 comes
in an 84 × 55 mm form factor suitable for space-constrained embedded applications.

n Shielded Connector
I-PEX USA, Austin, TX, has released a 35-HDH fully shielded, board-toboard
connector with a mating height of 1.5 mm and a 0.35 mm pitch.
The NOVASTACK® uses a 360° metal shielded ZenShield® design, which
reduces EMI emanating from the connector. The connector is capable of
40 Gbps/lane transmission and supports the latest transmission standards.
A large guide area on the metal shell guides the connector into the
proper mating position even in a blind mating situation. The sensory clicking feeling during
mating prevents a half-mating issue and also prevents damage due to additional load after mating.

n Spring Brakes
Ogura, Somerset, NJ, has developed a line of small brakes for
robotics and medical equipment applications. The MCNB-HS series
power-off, spring-applied brakes have oversized bores to allow
wires to pass through the shaft's hollow bore. They accommodate
encoders, cables, hoses, shafts, and tools. Internal designs allow for reduced backlash, high cycling, long
life, optimized torque per size, thin profile, low weight, limited drag, low heat generation, and low
power requirements. Torque is optimized to provide a smaller package size and lower weight. Standard
sizes are available from 2.0 to 4.0 Nm static torque. Other torque ranges are available upon request.

n DfAM Service
3DEO, Torrance, CA, has added early-stage design for additive
manufacturing (DfAM) as a core service to better support its customers
throughout the entire product life cycle. The company
has introduced advanced end-to-end solutions to product and
engineering teams across all industries, including in medical devices.
The firm uses proprietary technology platform to provide high-quality parts that are
consistent from first articles through to production at scale.

n Brushless Servo Motor
A line of brushless servo motors from Teknic, Victor, NY, are rated for washdown
applications per IP66K/IP67. The Hudson motors can withstand high
pressure sprays (IP66K) and short periods of submersion up to 1 m (IP67).
The motors have a nonproprietary, open-standard communication design that
allows them to be used with virtually any brushless servo drive regardless of
protocol. Fast electrical time constants and high torque-to-inertia ratios provide
responsive, accurate dynamic performance. Harmonically pure windings, helically skewed stator
laminations, and custom-balanced EPM rotors are designed to provide smooth, quiet motion.

n Vacuum Pressure Furnace
A vacuum pressure
furnace is available
from Palomar,
Carlsbad, CA. The
SST 3130 is a deep
chamber
resistive
heat vacuum and
pressure
furnace
for void-free solder
joints without
the use of flux, resulting
in high reliability
electronic components. The system
provides precise automatic control of heating
to 1000 °C and cooling in an inert gas
environment from vacuum levels of below
50 millitorr to pressures up to 60 psig. It
can be used in both production and research
environments for flux-free soldering,
brazing, annealing, and glass sealing of
components and packages for microelectronic
applications.
