Practical releases virtual catalogue
Practical Components
Catalogue
The latest Practical Components catalogue will be of interest to anyone involved in PCB assembly, training, soldering and surface-mount technology.
'Our free virtual catalogue is organised by package type/category with each product accompanied by drawings, description, part number with both lead free and tin lead availability and formulations,' said Practical Components president Kevin Laphen.
'In an effort to make our catalogue more carbon neutral, more widely accessible and with more current and accurate content, we have created a virtual catalogue with a page-flip format,' he added.
Users can view the catalogue online or offline, save the complete catalogue to disk, send the complete catalogue or a single page to a colleague and add personal sticky notes, bookmarks and print.
Product additions to the catalogue include body sizes of the Amkor PoP (package on package) as well as the added ability to make triple PoP stacks.
Practical has also added a selection of Pac Tech Flip Chips and test kits, and an array of other new test boards and training kits.
Ready-to-run Circuitcam project files (CPFs), Gerber and X, Y, theta data is also available at no extra charge on the website for machine-ready boards, plus other technical data, drawings and design hints.
