New OK International Webinar Teaches Convection and Conduction Rework

Here at OK International we are launching a brand new free tutorial webinar designed to help today’s manufacturers learn how to optimize their rework processes. Entitled ‘Reworking Components with Conduction and Convection: A Practical Tutorial’, the webinar will be held on February 2nd at 10am PST/1pm EST /6pm GMT and repeated on February 4th at 10am GMT/ 11am CET.

We are aware that different devices demand different processes and safety procedures. Operators are often given very basic tools and asked to repair many different devices, which can lead to bad practices and quality is often compromised. Therefore this webinar is ideal for Operations Managers, Production Line Supervisors, Engineering Management, Engineers and Assembly Operators. One of the industry’s leading technical experts, Ed Zamborsky, will explain best practice rework techniques and tools that will benefit a variety of end users in different industry segments.

The Webinar will run for one hour, split into easily accessible segments including informative video tutorials. In addition to Ed’s presentation, attendees will also be invited to take part in a Q&A session during which they can take advantage of our speaker’s proven expertise. OK International’s Regional Manager and Soldering & Repair Specialist, Ed Zamborsky is a prominent technology advisor to the company’s Product Development Group. Over the years, he has authored dozens of articles and presented a variety of papers on topics including solder fume extraction, SMT rework, BGA rework and lead-free hand soldering.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
