CONNECTOR CLEANERS — The NTT-AT series fiberoptic connector and adapter cleaners are ideal for on-site cleaning of standard, small-form-factor and multifiber connector end faces. Available in reel or card formats, a stick format is also available for cleaning of the fiberoptic adapter sleeve interior. The reel cleaner uses a unique elastic pad that effectively cleans the end face of 2.5-mm (SC, FC, ST, E-2000, DIN, D4), 1.25-mm (LC, MU), and multifiber (MPO, MT-RJ) connectors, all within the same unit. The card cleaner delivers the same results with portability. All cleaners employ a prewashed, static-reducing microfiber fabric. SENKO ADVANCED COMPONENTS, MARLBORO, MA. www.senko.com

HORIZONTAL CHASSIS — A new 4U, five-slot horizontal AdvancedTCA (ATCA) chassis offers features for system management, chassis cooling, and versatility. The 4U ATCA chassis features allotments for the Elma shelf-manager product, the IPM Sentry. The IPM Sentry adjusts the speed of the fans depending on the temperature within the chassis, and sends out remote alarms via RS232 or 10/100 Ethernet. Further, it can detect the topology of the backplane, and maintain a system event log (SEL) along with a sensor data record (SDR). ELMA, FREMONT, CA. www.elma.com

MICRO DISPENSERS — An enhanced encoder count on the Micro Valve increases the precision and repeatability for micro-volume dispensing applications. The programmable encoder, which controls rotation of the auger, has been modified to provide 200,000 counts per 360° revolution, which allows the valve to repeatably dispense 5.5-mil volumes, depending on the material and application requirements. The DL Micro Valve is ideal for high-density interconnect, optoelectronics, and semiconductor packaging applications. DL TECHNOLOGY, HAVERHILL, MA. www.dltechnology.com

SUPPORT FIXTURES — These modular support fixtures for electronics manufacturers and end users applying pressfit style connectors to PCBs are designed to properly support the underside of a PCB during the pressfit insertion process of connectors. The drilled and machined aluminum support blocks are easily applied to custom backplane configurations and can be hard coated and customized. Standard backplane and daughter card fixtures are available for 2-mm hard-metric connectors for CompactPCI applications, and DIN 41612 connectors for the VME bus.

INSPECTION SYSTEM — The HD-5000 hand-held video microscope is a portable, high-resolution inspection system for observing and recording small objects. The one-pound scope is easily repositioned, giving flexibility to the operator that is unavailable with mounted cameras. Switchable 20¥ or 50¥ magnification gives 800-pixel resolution that can be viewed in real-time images. The system typically inspects items such as circuit boards, contacts, leads, wires, molds, dies, and R&D materials. ASG, CLEVELAND, OH. www.asg-jergens.com
