Count On Tools, Inc. (COT), a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, is pleased to introduce its latest breakthrough: a special vacuum nozzle designed to handle all types of odd-shaped components with unmatched precision. Part number 2023-5260, the latest addition to its line of vacuum nozzles, revolutionizes the handling process of the SKT108775GQS 42-position 2 mm header.
