Mike, If my memory serves me correctly, this was the subject of a string sometime in the past year, or so. You might wish to dust off the ol archives at bit. I used to have clips from a company called Technology Glass (used for glass sealing cerdips, ... olden days, etc), but could not find them at the time of the last inquiry, so doubt that I would find them now. They had a nice long reach! Maybe there are some new sources out there. Would like to know if you are successful :-) Steve Creswick - Gentex Corporation -----Original Message----- From: Mcmaster, Michael [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 12:50 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Source for Sealing Clips I'm looking for a clip that can be used to hold a component in place during reflow. I've found the attached webpage (I think this was a previous referral from Technet). But the longest jaw depth is only 1.5". I'm looking for something as long as 2.25" or even longer. Does anybody have a potential source? http://www.minitron.com/english/csce.pdf Mike McMaster RF Product Engineer Merix Corporation 503-992-4263 --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ----------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 -----------------------------------------------------
