Pepperl+Fuchs’ complete family of electrical explosion protection and accessories is a key component in hazardous locations where people and equipment must be protected. The company’s electrical explosion protection equipment (EPE) portfolio includes a wide range of enclosure sizes and styles, providing optimal design configurations for nearly all hazardous area applications.
The ACOPOSinverter P86 is a series of frequency inverters for three-phase synchronous and induction motors, with or without encoders. It covers a wide power spectrum from 0.75 to 75 kW and is particularly well-suited for packaging, conveyor system, material processing and hoisting gear applications. B&R’s P86-series inverters already comply with the IE efficiency factors standardized in EN 61800-9-2.
TE Connectivity (TE) is releasing its EB16 expanded beam optical pin and socket termini in new single mode and multimode variations. Both variations are based on an updated design that includes springless mating and crimpless cable retention. EB16 termini are built on TE’s PRO BEAM expanded beam connector technology, which expands and collimates the optical signal into a beam size well beyond its original size to help provide easier optical alignment, low sensitivity to contamination and consistent performance over thermal changes.
VNTC (Vinyl Nylon Tray Cable) 600 Volt Type TC-ER control cables from AutomationDirect are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial and where superior electrical properties are desired. VNTC cable is available in 18 AWG to 10 AWG with 3 to 24 unshielded copper conductors. Cables are cut to length in 1-foot increments with a 20-foot minimum.
Phoenix Contact has added four-wire surge protective devices (SPDs) to the TERMITRAB Complete family. The new TTC-6P-4 pluggable SPDs protect against overvoltages on four conductors in a width of only 6 mm. That is only 1.5 mm per conductor. The new additions are designed for measurement and control applications, such as very precise temperature and weight measurements, that are sensitive to impedance.
Zonex Enclosures are designed and certified to meet ATEX Directive 94/9/EC as well as IECEx standards for increased safety in housing electrical components in Zone 1 and Zone 2 applications. Hoffman’s ATEX Ex e enclosures are not intended for use in explosion-proof or flame-proof applications.
Rittal recently announced the conversion from AE/EB/KL to the new AX/KX carbon steel enclosures. Their new product line features a faster assembly and component installation, greater flexibility and enhanced safety. It’s taken more than 50 years, but a successor to the AE, the world’s first standard enclosure, has now arrived – the new AX!
With extended functionality and a high IP rating for flexible application, new BSP pressure sensors from Balluff feature a digital display that deliver diagnostic functions information including run hours, pressure peak counter and internal temperature trend.
Weidmuller Inc.’s D-SERIES offers economical relays for the separation of input and output signals in industrial automation.
FS has upgraded its FHD Fiber Enclosure to offer an ultra-high-density solution for rack cabling.
The stripLite (SL) 4000 Series of LED cabinet lights from Seifert Systems provide bright illumination to 700 lumens. An on/off switch and motion sensor models are available.
The AS-Interface is a proven, user-friendly and cost-effective wiring technology for the industrial sector. To increase the variety of available components and expand the range of possible applications, Pepperl+Fuchs has developed two new CB10 series modules.
Packing 30 W of performance, WAGO’s Compact Power Supply (787-2850) in a DIN-rail-mount enclosure offers a lot of power in a scant 35.5 mm (1.398″). Thanks to the slim design, it saves around 33% more space in the control cabinet and distribution board than standard power supplies.
WAGO has expanded its line of PCB terminal blocks to help engineers address the trend of electronic miniaturization, which requires that both power and signal levels be integrated onto PCBs. This trend has changed connection technology requirements by increasing power density. leading WAGO to offer its 2606 and 2626 Series PCB Terminal Blocks with 12.5 mm (0.492″) pin spacing. Additionally, its 2616 and 2636 Series PCB Terminal Blocks are now available with 15 mm (0.59″) pin spacing.
Phoenix Contact presents new connectors for energy storage systems. The device and cable connectors are protected against polarity reversal and can be rotated 360°. This makes them particularly suitable for flexible cable outlets in modular battery racks.
PRC series plastic circular connectors from Phoenix Contact are now also available as an assembled connection solution. The pre-assembled connectors and cables are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and are ideal for fast startup since no on-site assembly is required.
