Carlo Gavazzi: New RM1D060D3 Solid State Relay Expands RM1D Series DC SSR Portfolio

Carlo Gavazzi is excited to introduce the expansion of its RM1D Series Solid State Relays, which will now include a 3 Amp DC rated version. This new addition, the RM1D060D3, will have a rated output voltage of up to 60 VDC. This extension was inspired by evolving market research that showed a large portion of the DC solid state relay market was less than or equal to 3 Amps DC. A key market driver of this addition is the electrification of vehicles. The team at Carlo Gavazzi is always striving to improve it’s offering and align the company with the market and competitors.

Carlo Gavazzi: DCT1, the DC Energy Transducer for Measurements in Fast Chargers

The near future for EV charging applications is mainly based on fast, ultra-fast, and hyper-fast chargers. Therefore, there is an increasing need for reliable and accurate metering systems to avoid the outdated “charge-by-time method” or the upstream AC meters which can make the end user also pay for the system power losses. The DCT1 is Carlo Gavazzi’s first and most suitable response to this need. A very flexible, simple, compact, and easy-to-integrate solution for energy measurement in fast chargers.

EAO: Series 82 with Cable Connection

EAO has extended the robust Series 82 with a new product variant with vibration-resistant cable connections. It is common to expose pushbuttons and indicators to extremely harsh operating conditions. For example in the food and beverage industry, where alkaline cleaning agents and corrosion severely affect HMIs. In addition, external factors in the form of hard-to-remove dirt, fine dust, along with severe vibrations and blunt impacts also require HMIs to offer a very high level of resistance.

RS Is Stocking Honeywell’s Four New EV Sensor Series

RS is now stocking all four of the new electric vehicle (EV) sensor series recently launched by Honeywell. While U.S. EV adoption continues to lag in comparison to China and Europe, with EVs still accounting for less than 1% of the 279 million cars and light trucks registered in the U.S., EVs made up 5.6% of all new U.S. car registrations in 2022, which is up from 3.1% in 2021 and just 1.8% in 2020. One reason for this recent market growth is that EV manufacturers have released both more and more affordable vehicles.
