This revolutionary online tool allows you to build the specifications on your
PCB requirements.
It has the ability to give you a quote regardless of the existence of PCB files or not.
If you do have the files ready then why not use the "short cut ". As the name implies the short cut removes the need to answer the many questions since these answers will be self evident within the art work files. All you have to do is browse your hard drive and up load the file. It's that easy.
If you have specific requirements you can use the spec. builder page and in conjunction with the help screens and menus, confined to the left of your screen, navigating from frame to frame makes it so simple to establish your specs and get your response back in rapid time.

BLP Battery Isolator Can Reduce Warranty Claims
Battery discharge during extended transit or storage of vehicles can lead to deterioration of the battery and subsequent warranty claims. BLP now offer a simple and cost-effective solution - the Powermotive(tm) isolating device. Powermotive totally isolates the battery from the vehicle's electrical circuits, protecting it from quiescent electrical drain to ensure it remains in peak condition. Essentially a relay-operated switch, Powermotive automatically reconnects the battery when the ignition is turned on, allowing the vehicle to be driven when required. An automatic time delay allows the electrical system to be shut down and reconnected in a particular sequence to protect sensitive circuits from any surge pulse. Powermotive is available in a range of specifications, and the core product is customised to suit the electrical system of individual models. When used as a transit isolator the device is normally removed by the dealer and returned to BLP for recycling - a cost effective and environmentally friendly approach. An alternative version for permanent installation is under development. BLP is an ISO 9001 manufacturing company and is currently working towards ISO 14000 approval. Powermotive has been developed from the company's core technology base in relays and solenoids.Further information on BLP’s range of X-Pulse can be obtained from any of X-On Electronic Service’s four offices . www.x-on.com.au

X-On Refurbishes To Make Way For Inventory Growth The steady growth of X-On's product lines and inventory holding, has necessitated the refurbishment of their Perth warehouse facility to make way for new shelving, increased volumes and greater capacity.
Managing Director Mr Rob Tincey said, "X-On has always worked hard to deliver on the feedback we hear from our customers. If higher stock holding and wider product lines are what our customers are requesting then that is what we are delivering...".
The
increased warehouse capacity will mean that X-On can hold higher
stock quantities and reduce client lead times for much of the X-On
range. Of course the support of their UK warehouse will continue
to keep lead times to a minimum and in most cases do not exceed 2
weeks. |
