Bill attended the University of Delaware and was employed at E.I. Dupont company in Wilmington, DE. He began as a chemist's assistant in high performance films performing various functions with polymers and conducted long term analytical testing. Over the next few years he was a "lab rat" and learned the science of manufacturing polymetrics films. He became interested in the plastics business which led him to manufacturing assignment in a facility called, Chestnut Run. In the 1980's Dupont acquired Berg Electronics. Berg Electronics was a manufacturer of electronic components and connectors. Soon after Bill took on the role of in-house technical field sales support. When Dupont sold this business he was transferred to Harrisburg, PA where he has been for the past 16 years. His experience with plastics and films as well as testing of these products was a perfect beginning for the connector business.

Hey Bill,
I am attempting to reflow solder part #10033854-052FSLF with little success, very few leads actually solder. In an effort to improve I tried part #10033854-252FSLF with little improvement. We are using Kester solder paste EM907…no clean, SAC305. All other parts solder very well including SOIC, 0603, SOT23, Tantalum B.
Have you any ideas?
Ally,
I've included our product spec which shows on page 5 some key information regarding solderability and heat resistance.If you have other questions, please contact me.
Regards,
Bill

C.N. Ramesh,
Our product specifications do not address the quality or power of conducting or transmitting electrical current through cadmium or zinc.
D-sub shell.
I'm not familiar with EIA-364-083. Do you have a copy or section you can send me?

Hello Bill,
We have a standard floor lamp which we purchased about 8 years ago. We are attached to it and are trying to repair it. We assume that the transformer is defunct and are looking for a replacement.
The transformer specification, which is plugged in to a 13amp socket, is a VT60CE-B, Prim:230V, 50Hz, Sek: 12VAC, 60W, ta = 45 degree max.
Can you help please please!
Hope to hear from you Dave Terry

Hello William,
my name is Goetz. I'm an FSE at Farnell in Germany.
I'm currently looking to help a customer with his requirements.
They are looking for a smart, light and small conntector series for medical sensors and electrodes
( cabeling around a human body ) There are 8-10 poles required. Low frequency , Low current.
Is the LATCH-N-LOK™ series something you would recommend for this application ?
Anythin better instead ?
Unfortunately we do not carry them in our range yet. Is there a chance to get hold of some samples ?
Everything you can provide would be apprechiated.
b.r.
