PRODUCT SHOWCASE
New Hakko Soldering Products at Electronex Australia
HK Wentworth, sole authorised wholesale distributor for Hakko
soldering solutions in Australia, will be showcasing new Hakko products alongside their Electrolube electro-chemical solutions at Electronex Australia (Rosehill Gardens, Sydney) next month.
Experts from both Hakko and Electrolube will be available on Stand
A16 to assist with customer application queries.
The first of the new Hakko soldering solutions is the FX-801 Ultra Heavy Duty (UHD) Soldering Station. It’s an ideal soldering station for high mass components, such as high current inductor coils,
heat sinks, large transformers, shields and other difficult solder applications where there is a significant amount of thermal inertia to
overcome.
The ESD-safe FX-801 ultra heavy duty soldering station has a 300W
composite heater while the lightweight soldering pencil is only 50g.
The system has six user-programmable preset temperatures, process
control lockout with password protection and a large LED display.
The second new product is the FX-100 RF Induction Heating Sol-
dering System. Designed for
fast, reliable, accurate, efficient and ESD-safe soldering, the FX-100 delivers RF
induction heat technology
at its best.
Calibration is not required – just power up and the
system is ready for use. A boost control delivers an injection of extra power to the soldering iron tip when required. while a tip sleep
function reduces the tip temperature to preserve its life and reduce
oxidization when the iron is not in use. There is also an activity monitor that provides cumuContact:

ElectroneX comes to Sydney next month: 5th & 6th September
With over 90 exhibitors and a technical
conference plus free seminars featuring leading international and local industry experts,
Electronex is a must-see event for decision
makers, enthusiasts and engineers designing or working with electronics.
Prospective attendees can pre-register for
free at www.electronex.com.au
This year’s event will feature a host of new
product releases as well as advanced manufacturing solutions, as Australian companies
embrace the move towards niche and special-
ised manufacturing.
2016 Electronex
Sydney attracted over
1200 electronics design professionals, including
electronic and electrical engineers, technicians
and management, along with IT and communications professionals, defence, government
and service techs.

Secured IoT endpoints with 32-bit MCU featuring chip-level security
With the tremendous growth of IoT nodes, security has
become an afterthought for many designers, increasing
the risk of exposing intellectual property (IP) and sensitive information.
Fortunately, the newly launched SAM L10 and SAM L11
MCU families from Microchip can help designers plan for
security at an early stage with Arm TrustZone for Armv8-M,
a programmable environment that provides hardware isolation between certified libraries, IP and application code.
These MCUs, based on the Arm Cortex-M23 core, feature chip-level tamper resistance, secure boot and secure
key storage that, when combined with
TrustZone technology, protect customer applications from both remote
and physical attacks.
The SAM L11 family also includes
an on-board cryptographic module
supporting Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES), Galois Counter Mode
(GCM), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA),
as well as a secure bootloader for secure firmware upgrades.
Both MCU families offer Microsiliconchip.com.au
chip’s latest generation Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC)
for capacitive touch capability with best-in-class water tolerance and noise immunity, making the devices ideal for a
myriad of automotive, appliance, medical and consumer
Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications.
In addition, they provide industry-leading power consumption in active and all sleep modes with Microchip’s
proprietary picoPower technology.
The SAM L10 received a ULPMark score of 405, which
is over 200% better performance than nearest competitor
certified by EEMBC.
A power debugger and data analyser tool is available to monitor and
analyse power consumption in realtime and fine tune the consumption
numbers on the fly to meet application needs.
