Panduit Corp. recently announced the launch of its improved PanMPO Fiber Connector, redesigned to include key new features for an improved in-field user experience. The connector now includes a narrower connector body and a new push-pull boot that allows for improved manageability in high-density installations. Additionally, a new pin extraction feature on the outer housing is used to change the gender/pinning of the connector.
They are functional and yet can be used flexibly—the cylindrical photoelectric sensors of the M18 series offer five functional principles in three designs—each with a uniform interface. The M18 sensors can be used as thru-beam photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective photoelectric sensors for transparency detection, and diffuse sensors with or without background suppression in almost every standard application.
Emerson has expanded its ASCO Series 090 line of miniature solenoid valves, adding a new three-way Series 090 valve configuration to enable lighter, more space-efficient solutions for gas control in oxygen therapy, compression therapy and gas analyzer devices. Originally developed as a two-way valve for air and inert gases in portable medical devices, the Series 090 valve features a compact architecture, small (10.8 millimeter) footprint and 50 million-cycle life for maximum reliability.
Legrand have introduced their latest fiber breakthrough, the Infinium acclAIM Fiber Solution at last year’s BICSI Conference and Exhibition. And recently, they announced the official launch of the revolutionary Infinium acclAIM Fiber Solution. Legrand’s Infinium acclAIM redefines connectivity by replacing pre-terminated cassette-based solutions with direct mating breakout connections, eliminating extra components and cost.
The new IO-Link function modules from Leuze simplify the integration of device data into PLC programs. This saves the users time and enables error-free installation. With their IO-Link function modules, the Sensor People at Leuze are introducing a powerful tool for manufacturers and operators: it renders the integration of IO-Link device data into PLC programs significantly easier.
AutomationDirect has added new 1-phase encapsulated core general purpose transformers and buck-boost transformers from Acme Electric. These general-purpose transformers use electrical grade silica and resin compounds to completely enclose the core and coil to prevent corrosion and insulation deterioration. They are available in various voltages and sizes from 0.25 to 25 kVA.
Rugged IP67-rated K12S Series surface mount key switches employs advanced materials for sharp & crisp illumination.

SmartZone offers excellent electrical performance, intelligent battery management and long lifespan (lithium-ion units), enhanced intelligent monitoring, and network functions.
LÜTZE presents four new OCT combined supply cables for use in drag chains manufactured to the Beckhoff Standard. In addition to the LÜTZE prefabricated cables with a conductor gauge of 1.0 mm2 available to date, there are now three further cables available with conductor gauges of 1.5 mm2, 2.5 mm2 and 4 mm2 for the types ZK4500 and the new ZK4800. The LÜTZE OCT hybrid cables include engine supply, brake and digital feedback.
AutomationDirect has added Quabbin commercial Ethernet and data cables to provide more choices for your wiring/cabling needs. The new 26 and 24 AWG commercial Ethernet cables are available in Cat5e/6/6a/6e types, in shielded and unshielded versions, and they are suitable for applications from 10 Base-T to 1000 Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet). These cables feature a round, smooth design for added flexibility that allows easy manipulation between devices during installation and routing.
The 4mm shrouded sockets which can mate with both safety shrouded and unshrouded plugs, and are suitable for a wide range of applications including industrial, medical, music industry, instrumentation, and more.
Bidirectional and regenerative programmable DC power series includes over 180 new models offering a greater range of power from 0 – 600 W to 0 – 30 kW.
Motors in conveyor systems need to be switched off safely, but the wiring and energy distribution involved is usually very complex, involving bulky cable trays, and complex distribution boxes. As a result, Wieland Electric has developed a new motor starter that reduces the complexity of installation and improves the safety of conveyor systems. The podis MS 5HP is a compact, robust and user-friendly drive component with an integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) function.
Allied Electronics & Automation now offers Banner Engineering’s Snap Signal portfolio of modular, brand agnostic, plug-and-play IIoT solutions, including the new Snap Signal DXMR90 industrial controller. Banner’s Snap Signal solutions are designed to leverage machine data from automation islands scattered throughout the factory floor, convert disparate data signals from both condition monitoring and process monitoring solutions into a unified protocol and transmit that insightful diagnostic data to a dedicated PLC or SCADA control system for local processing or an edge device used to monitor equipment conditions in the cloud.
With the PDP67 modules, Pilz offers solutions for decentralised applications directly in the field. Protection type IP67 means that the modules are resistant to dirt and water. The decentralised modules optimise installation and wiring work. They save time, money and space in the control cabinet. As they are integrated into dirt and water-repellent IP67 housings, the PDP67 modules reliably ensure safety even in rugged industrial environments.
Introducing Hammond Manufacturing’s hole plugs, designed to seal unused pushbutton holes, conduit openings and knockout holes against dust, oil and water, with a standard pushbutton size of 30.5mm and a mini pushbutton size of 22.5mm. These hole plugs come in two variations; steel and stainless steel. Steel hole plugs are available in 12 sizes, while the stainless steel are available in 8 sizes.
