■ Medical Adhesive

Dymax, Torrington, CT, has introduced an LED UV and broad-spectrum light-curable adhesive for bonding
COC/COP film laminates and other difficult-to-bond-to plastics used in the assembly of in vitro diagnostics
(IVD), lab-on-a-chip (LOC), and other point-of-care medical devices. MD® 1172-M-UR may also be useful to
manufacturers involved with the design of COVID-19 rapid diagnostic applications. The moisture-resistant
adhesive is soft and flexible with a durometer of A70 and has a viscosity of 1,100 cP for improved wetting. It is
formulated to enable simple visual post-cure quality inspection of the bond line area. After cure, when exposed to low-intensity black light
(365 nm), the material fluoresces bright red, making it easy to see on plastics that naturally fluoresce blue in color, like PVC.

Product Focus: Power Supplies
■ Hospital-Grade Plugs

■ Solid-State Relay

NEMA 5-20 hospital-grade plugs are
now available from Interpower, Oskaloosa,
IA, in molded colors of clear, black, or gray
on 10-ft lengths of flexible cord. These
molded plugs complement the company's
NEMA 5-20 hand-wired hospital-grade plugs. Options include:
North American 18A hospital-grade power cord on 14 AWG SJT
cable (P/N 86630010, P/N 86630020, or P/N 86630030) as well as
North American 18A hospital-grade cord set with C19 connector
on 14 AWG SJT Cable (P/N 86630040, P/N 86630050, or P/N
86630060).

Littelfuse, Chicago, IL, has released an 800
V normally open single-pole 6-pin solidstate relay (SSR). The PLA172P OptoMOS®
guarantees electrical parameters at 105 °C
ambient operating temperature. The combination of high voltage rating, high temperature
range, and surface-mountable packaging is recommended for medical applications. It is designed to replace electromechanical relays that are bulky and prone to failing drop tests. A
unique device pinout provides more than 6.8 mm of pad-to-pad
separation between the high-voltage output pins preventing arcing, and it offers 5000 VRMS input-to-output isolation.

■ Configurable Platform

■ DC/DC Converters

Advanced Energy Industries, Denver,
CO, has released a modular, configurable
power platform. Excelsys CoolX®3000
provides intelligent control and monitoring for medical, life science, and specialized industrial applications. The 3000 W power supply features digital communication and control to connect with other applications. It includes up to 24 isolated user field-configurable outputs
and individual output controls. The platform can operate in altitudes up to 5,000 m. It meets safety standards, including IEC
60601-1 3rd edition, IEC 60601-1-2 4th edition (EMC), IEC 60950,
IEC 62368-1, and SEMI F47.

A series of high isolation 3W DC/DC
converters for medical and industrial
applications is available from COSEL,
Tokyo, Japan. Packaged in a single in line
(SIP) type 8, the MH3 series has a reinforced isolation of 3 kVAC,
4.2 KVDC and complies with medical isolation standard (2 MOOP,
250 VAC). Three input voltages (4.5-18 V, 9-36 V, and 18-76 V)
and a large variety of single- (MHFS3) and dual-output (MHFW3)
cover a large range of applications. The MH3 has only 20 pF max
insulation capacitance, reducing noise transfer. The series has
built-in overcurrent protection circuit, with automatic recovery.

■ CAD/CAM Software

■ PCB Edge Connectors

OPEN MIND Technologies, Needham, MA,
has introduced its latest CAD/CAM software suite,
which offers users new and enhanced features for
efficient 3D and 5-axis machining, such as the
hyperMILL® AUTOMATION Center Advanced
option and more. New features in hyperMILL® 2020.2 include the addition of plunge-milling cycles to the 3D and 5-axis strategies for machining
cutting edges. Material is removed by plunging movements to reduce
vibration and improve surface finish, especially helpful for machining
edges with steep walls. When 5-axis machining, undercut areas can also
be reached by specifying the lateral inclination on the tilted tool.

A series of SMT printed circuit board connectors designed to transmit signals or power across
PCBs is available from Keystone Electronics
Corp., New Hyde Park, NY. Quickly and easily set
up, the new SMT connectors have a horizontal
orientation making them suitable as parallel board-to-board or boardto-component alternative options for power or signal transferring. The
connectors are designed to provide ideal low-profile circuit linkage
and minimal footprint for high-density, high-current PCB packages on
power and aluminum backplanes. All PCB soldering applications,
including reflow, may be utilized.
