made on aluminium or copper substrates for those high power led applications onto rogers pcbs for your rf boards and also hdi boards for those super high density bga type pcbs they also offer pcb assembly either surface mount or through hole starting from NUMBER_TOKEN for NUMBER_TOKEN pieces and more recently they've started offering an additional range of mechanical options so you can get your parts NUMBER_TOKENd printed cnc machines or you can even get injection molding or back casting for lower quantities of your mechanical parts so don't forget to visit pcb way if you're thinking about getting some of your projects made so with the tNUMBER_TOKENb i think we've got a slightly better setup compared to the tNUMBER_TOKENa and that's because of the design of the handpiece cradle so first of all we've got the handpiece and that plugs into the back of the handpiece cradle and then we have a slightly thicker lead but this is actually extremely flexible that then comes out the back of it and plugs into the back of the control unit which is slightly different to what we saw on the tNUMBER_TOKENa where the connector came out the front here but what it means is this can sit somewhere towards the back of your bench you've got the ac plugged in at the back you've got this lead coming out the back and then you've got access just to the controls at the front and then this can sit much closer to you on your bench without having the ac cable and the big unit in the way and so this is in a much more positive suitable position then you can just start soldering you've got a guaranteed length of cable so you're not dragging it across the entire bench and the whole setup just works a lot better so let's take a closer look at the individual parts the controller itself looks very similar to that of the tNUMBER_TOKENa however when you compare them side by side you can see there are a few differences so first of all on the tNUMBER_TOKENa we had this five pin connector that went off to the various hand pieces on the tNUMBER_TOKENb we just have a latching power switch so we can turn the system on and off from the front of the unit the next thing to notice is the tNUMBER_TOKENb is actually slightly deeper i'm not sure why yet so we'll open it up in a moment and have a look but for some reason the lower power version is actually bigger and then finally if we take a look at the back of the unit on the tNUMBER_TOKENb uh tNUMBER_TOKENa sorry we had the iec connector the power switch at the back and then we had this NUMBER_TOKEN volt output if you did want to use the uh the power supply that's built into it to power a few other things and then we had a banana jack that was used for sensing when the handpiece was in the cradle so it's just a single cable that went off to the handpiece cradle to detect when the handpiece was in there and then we had the esd port on the tNUMBER_TOKENb you can see we've got a fused iec connector this one just relied on the fuse that's built into the ac to dc converter we have an external fuse
