The team at Swelex are proud to present the Micro OptoTEC™ MBX series from Laird Thermal Systems. The series offers superior heat dissipation capability for optoelectronic applications with limited space.

Laird Thermal Systems has introduced its latest innovation: the OptoTEC™ MSX series of micro-thermoelectric coolers, specially designed to meet the intricate cooling needs required in small optical devices. These coolers, developed for integration into various optical packages, including the commonly used TO-39, TO-46, and TO-8, offer advanced thermal performance and enable the creation of advanced optical thermoelectric assemblies (TEAs).

What sets the MSX series apart is its use of advanced ceramic materials, unique soldering techniques, and next-generation thermoelectric materials, resulting in up to a 10% increase in cooling capacity – all within a microscopic footprint. These optical TEAs are intended for use in high-performance image sensor applications, including analytical, industrial, and aerospace applications.

MSX series multi-stage TECs offer micro-sized cooling side dimensions down to 2.0 x 4.0 mm and can achieve high heat dissipation capacities of up to 5 Watts, while requiring lower operating currents than traditional multi-stage coolers. Currently, the MSX series is undergoing Telcordia GR-468 CORE qualification to ensure high repeatability and long lifespan in optical environments.

In diagnostic imaging, achieving optimal image quality for a pulsating heart can be challenging. ECG gating provides an effective solution to reduce artifacts from heart motion, improve image quality, and evaluate differences in images under varying exercise conditions. By triggering scans during a predefined phase of the cardiac cycle, the method can enhance diagnostic performance in evaluating heart diseases. However, traditional metal leads can negatively impact image quality. Therefore, non-metallic carbon fiber leads emerge as the optimal choice for our customers.

Product Features

With a patented design complemented by engineering and material selection, SINBON’s products offer industry-leading reliability.

• Electrode lead wires made of carbon fiber material provide advantages in imaging.
• The chosen carbon fiber material has uniform impedance for efficient transmission of ECG signals.
• The wire has an integrated design of main and branch lines and has successfully undergone a 30,000-cycle bending test.
• The tensile strength of the wire exceeds double the specification.
• Customized connection ensures compliance with a lifespan of 10,000 insertion and extraction cycles.
