September 19, 2014

Bulgin – an Elektron Technology connectivity brand – is proud to announce the launch of the latest addition to its extensive range of environmentally-sealed circular connectors – the Buccaneer® 7000 Series for mains power applications. Designed to offer rapid and secure mains power connectivity in harsh environments, the Buccaneer 7000 is remarkably compact for its 25A and 600V rating, and has been developed to provide excellent sealing characteristics to IP67, IP68 and IP69K standards.

7000_seriesThe all new Buccaneer 7000 Series features the Buccaneer range’s tried and tested one-piece body construction, and has a unique twist locking system with positive feedback, providing quick and convenient, ‘fit and forget’ connectivity in less than quarter of a turn, without the need for technical expertise or specialist tools. Available in 2, 3, 6, 10 and 32 pole options, with a choice of fully interchangeable nickel plated, cast zinc alloy or UV-resistant, UL94-V0 flammability-rated plastic bodies, the Buccaneer 7000 Series will offer engineers and designers the greatest possible flexibility in system design.

Stuart Hutchings, Marketing Manager for Bulgin, commented: “The Buccaneer 7000 Series is designed for use across a broad range of demanding applications, from outdoor broadcasting and lighting to industrial automation and marine installations. These innovative connectors will provide a compact, cost­effective and, most importantly, easy-to-use solution that offers complete environmental protection.”

German Casillas, Head of Connectivity at Elektron Technology, added: “The new Buccaneer 7000 series is another example of Elektron Technology’s pioneering approach, combining many years of experience with emerging technologies to create comprehensive products that meet the ever­changing needs of the marketplace.”

Bulgin Launches New Versions of Popular PX0777 In-Line Cable Connectors

July 4, 2013

Bulgin – an Elektron Technology connectivity brand – has launched 4-, 6- and 8-pole versions of its popular PX0777 environmentally-sealed in-line cable joiner, offering cost-effective water- and dust-proofing for a wide range of applications.

 The original 3-pole version of the PX0777 has been part of the Bulgin Buccaneer range of environmentally sealed connectors for over 15 years, taking advantage of the Company’s tried and tested technology to provide convenient IP68 rated connectivity for indoor and outdoor use. The recently released 4-, 6- and 8-pole cable joiners extends this robust environmental protection to a wider range of applications, offering rapid connection of multi­core cables.

The new variants of the PX0777 uses a specially designed circular terminal block – rated at 10 A, 250 V per pole – allowing safe, secure connection of up to eight 1.5 mm2 cores using the same compact moulded plastic body as the 3-pole version. Available with a variety of sealing glands to suit 3.5 to 9 mm cables, the PX0777 can be quickly and conveniently assembled without the need for special tools, making it ideally suited to on-site installation of mains power or signal connections, either planned or unplanned.

Stuart Hutchings, Marketing Manager for Bulgin, commented: “The new PX0777 is designed for use across a broad range of demanding applications in harsh environments. Engineers often don’t know the exact length of cable needed until they get onto a site, so a ‘fit and forget’ solution such as the PX0777 is perfect for these situations, providing a reliable, long-term sealed connection in minutes.”

Bulgin Switches - Pushbutton, Vandal Resistant and Voltage Selectors

November 2, 2011

Bulgin_Logo_150px.gif

Manufactured from Stainless Steel, Bulgin’s extensive range of vandal resistant security switches are designed with a high resistance to wear and tear, corrosion and harsh use in potentially hostile environments such as access control applications.

The front and rear panel mounted versions have three profiles – prominent, domed and low profile – with a choice of switching and IP66 & IP68 front panel sealing which combined together to meet the ergonomic, electrical and environmental demands of switch panel design. And where the ultimate strength of steel is not needed, there is a brass, chrome plated alternative. The low profile style switches are now also available with a latching, push on - push off, action.

The illuminated versions are available in dot and ring LED indication and a variety of illumination colours including bi-colour LED’s. Newer versions also feature LED illumination driven by 6V, 12V & 24V together with rear of panel sealing, these options will add that extra dimension to control panel layouts and functionality.

The standard range of vandal resistant switches are complemented by a range of 16mm stainless steel switches of robust construction designed for use in applications where space is at a premium.
