Multisensor platform chip
Many life sciences applications require precise temperature sensing and heating. The company's multisensor platform chip combines several platinum thin-film structures, such as temperature sensors, heaters, and electrodes, on one platform substrate.
Connectors
Zero-insertion-force connectors provide contact reliability and reduced signal crosstalk. The DLP series has a minimum rated life of 10,000 mate-unmate cycles and can be mated and unmated in less than 2 seconds. The connectors use 34-way high-density contact modules for flexibility in medical equipment.
DIP Adapters Enable Medical Instrument Modification
An RoHS-compliant adapter can be used in medical instruments to modify existing designs without changing existing printed circuit board (PCB) layouts. The Correct-A-Chip adapter can convert a plastic leaded chip carrier–packaged clock chip to a dual in-lined package footprint.Research Center Pursues Roll-to-Roll Microelectronics
