Hylec-APL IP68 TeePlug Connectors Provides Waterproof Solutions

June 25, 2012

Hylec-APL’s patented weatherproof TeePlug connectors have been used to form safe electrical connection on some of the world’s biggest aquaria. A leading designer of luxury aquaria for both private and public consumers uses the discrete plug and socket connectors as it finds traditional industrial systems cumbersome and time consuming to install.

*  Offers a quick IP68 electrical connection.
*  Ensures waterproof protection to a depth of 50 metres (Depending on model chosen).
*  Aesthetic and discrete design.
*  In-line male and female design allows for pre-wiring.
*  Twist-lock or screw down collar to secure the connection.
*  From just 90mm long (when closed).
*  2-6 pole connection.
*  Part of the weatherproof TeeFamily range of connectors.

Finder Low profile 41 Series PCB Relays now Available with AC Coils

June 25, 2012

Finder.jpg

Finder’s popular low profile relay range has now been extended for use with AC supply voltages. The new 24VAC and 230VAC versions of the 41 Series are ideal where the use of a DC supply voltage proves unsuitable, or would incur additional cost.

Available in single and 2-pole contact versions, with rated switching currents of 8A and 16A, the 15.7mm high relay will find useful applications in electronics, control panels, machine and factory process control systems—particularly where space constraints place limits on height.

With a rated coil power of 0.9VA, the low consumption promotes energy saving, and the cadmium-free contact materials conform to current and future REACH and WEEE directives. It also features RTII environmental protection, making it flux-proof for automatic flow soldering.

The 41 Series low profile relay can be mounted directly onto the pcb, or into a pcb socket. It can also be used with a range of 35mm rail-mounted sockets, with screw or screwless terminals – all available with EMC suppression modules and with the option of a time-saving jumper link.

E-T-A Introduces "PowerPlex Compact" a Low-Cost CAN-bus Controlled Decentralised Electrical Power Distribution System

June 12, 2012

E-T-A Circuit Breakers, quality designer and manufacturer of a broad range of electro-mechanical and electronic  products for circuit protection, has introduced a new, simplified, low-cost, decentralised  electrical  power  distribution system, each module offering up to 10 outputs rated up to 8A/10A per channel. E-T-A  PowerPlex  Compact provides localised monitoring, control and reliable protection of safety-critical electrical circuits, at the same time offering reduced cabling costs and build time. Communication with the PowerPlex modules is via CAN-bus using SAE J1939 based protocols. Each localised module will handle up to 60A, providing programmable control based on up to 12 digital and 3 analogue inputs as well as programmable overload protection.

Currently available as a 12V DC version, E-T-A PowerPlex Compact is straightforward to install and can be used for  applications such as battery monitoring of split charging circuits, undervoltage monitoring and control, remote operations based on level and flow sensors, responding to limit switches in tail lifts, dimming of lights and for timed controls. It will switch loads and protect them and the electrical harness against overcurrent and short circuits. Featuring high-end power semiconductors with integral protective elements for switching and protection, there are no mechanical components such as relays which may be subject to wear, vibration and shock.

One or more PowerPlex modules are positioned as required around a vehicle to facilitate the local connection of  loads, switches and sensors. Each module can collect sensor data from level and temperature sensors, for example.  E-T-A  PowerPlex is an open system featuring two CAN-bus communication channels which enable control via an E-T-
A  touch  panel or  keypad(s), if required, to enable load switching, and monitoring and display of data from analogue and digital sensors.

The  initial programming of each module via a cable linked PC is straightforward, using configuration software  supplied with the product. It enables, for example, the linking of inputs and outputs, programming of timer  functions and activation of dimmers. The current ratings for overcurrent protection of the load circuits and time characteristics can also be programmed.

Finder’s New 7S Series Relay with Forcibly Guided Contacts Supports Safety Applications

June 8, 2012

Finder.jpg

When safety is paramount and required to conform to increasing amounts of new legislation, Finder’s 7S Series forcibly guided contact relays offer a competitively priced and compact solution for designers and engineers who require confirmation of the functional integrity of critical circuitry.

Class A forcibly guided contacts rated at 6A, 250VAC and conforming to EN50205 requirements, make the 7S Series suitable for many safety related applications.

The screwless terminals allow for quick, vibration-resistant connections, and the availability of 2, 4 and 6 pole versions makes the relays suitable for a wide range of uses in machine and plant control systems and energy generation, as well as water supply and treatment. Utilizing materials that comply with UNI 11170-3 for fire and smoke characteristics, and meeting the requirements of EN 61373 and EN50155 for mechanical and climatic characteristics also ensure they are suitable for railway applications.

With an operating voltage range spanning 0.7 to 1.25 of nominal, Finder’s new 7S Series tolerates a wide supply variation.

Standard gold-plated or notched crown contacts provide high reliability switching, with a minimum load rating of 60mW.

Meeting the requirements of EN 13849-1 for functional reliability in machines and plant engineering, the 7S Series relays are housed in compact 22.5mm rail mounting enclosures equipped with quick-connect cage clamp terminals and LED coil status indication.
