binder presents the Power Bayonet Connector PBC15. Its size corresponds to an M15 thread. Thus, in the field of power supply connectors, the PBC15 bridges the gap between the widely used M12 and M23 designs. The compact, yet robust connector is suitable for power supply particularly to three-phase motors or frequency converters. It features 3 power pins, for example to supply the 3 live phases of a 3-phase motor, 2 additional pins for signal transmission, as well as a Protective Earth (PE) contact.
Signal lines are like nerve tracts in technical systems. Therefore, it is very important to protect these system parts from surge voltages caused by switching operations or lightning strikes. The surge protective devices of the TERMITRAB complete product family from Phoenix Contact enable this protection to be realized while saving space at the same time. Often, the protective components are installed in several control cabinets or in the field. This means that it is very time-consuming or even impossible to gain a permanent visual check of the protective devices on site.
Mini terminal blocks are particularly suitable for mounting in small control boxes, connection boxes, and control panels. Phoenix Contact is introducing the new MUTTB mini double-level terminal blocks, which enable extremely space-saving wiring. The screw connection technology also enables multi-conductor connections. The MUTTB terminal blocks feature function shafts on both levels, despite their compact design, meaning that they are very flexible in application.
Littelfuse, Inc. has recently launched its AF0025 series, a cost-effective arc-flash protection solution in our most compact package for OEM applications. The arc-flash relay significantly reduces arc-fault damage in AC and DC compartments by detecting the light from an arc-flash and rapidly providing a trip signal. With a depth of only 1.82” (46.23 mm), the compact design can be surface or DIN-rail mounted in the smallest places.
The TL70 Basic Tower Light is an industrial tower (stack) light that provides cost-effective status indication for those who need to improve visibility of machine and equipment status to drive response speed and increase productivity. Its modular construction with up to five total segments makes it easy to install and offers configuration flexibility including segment flash control. The TL70 Basic features a loud adjustable audible alarm segment at up to 104dB.
The KEL-ER-BL is a split cable entry system for cables with and without connectors. Depending on the size, cables with a diameter of 1 to 16 mm (single grommets KT-BL 1 to KT-BL 15) or 16 to 35 mm (single grommets KT-BL 16 to 34) can be routed, sealed with IP65 and strain-relieved according to EN 62444. The cable grommets are placed into compartments and are securely fixed to the frame during assembly.
Introducing the PCJ series Type 4X polycarbonate junction box with both solid and clear non-metallic latch covers, designed to insulate and protect controls and components in both indoor and outdoor conditions. These enclosures are ideal for industrial pump controls, waste water, and irrigation control along with solar/wind power and chemical plants.
The 4230 is a thermal-magnetic Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) in an industry standard footprint in accordance with DIN 43880. Its conformity with the relevant standards IEC 60947-2 and UL1077 makes the 4230-T ideally suitable for worldwide use. Due to its high rupture capacity of 63 A, the 4230-T is suitable for use as a supplementary protector. Later product extensions by add-on modules such as an auxiliary contact module or a working current module offer high flexibility for the user.
Carling Technologies, a Littelfuse, Inc. brand, has recently announced the introduction of the new R-Series configurable 13 mm DIN rail mount hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker. Available with up to four poles, the R-Series circuit breaker features no hardware or front panel cutout requirements, an optional rail button, and a choice of 45 mm or 57 mm mounting panels, making DIN rail mounting simple.
AutomationDirect has added 300V to 750V rated LUTZE Type HAR/MTW (Harmonized European Standard / Machine Tool Wire) wire that meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA Standard 79 requirements and is commonly used for appliance wiring, control cabinets, and machine tool applications in Europe. These wires consist of a tinned copper single conductor covered with a color-coded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer jacket and are available in sizes ranging from 0.75 mm2 (19AWG) to 4.0 mm2 (12 AWG).
Carling Technologies, a Littelfuse, Inc. brand, has recently announced improvements to its AVH-Series sealed anti-vandal pushbutton switches. Available with dependent LED illumination, the feature can now be configured in one of two ways. The first is to have the ring-style LED on whenever the specified output is on. The second is to have the LED on whenever the mechanical latching switch is on.
SIMATIC ET 200pro motor starters start and protect motors up to 7.3 hp. Thanks to their high IP65/67 degree of protection they are especially rugged and can be installed without a cabinet. This makes them the ideal choice for distributed drive solutions and implementation in harsh industrial environments such as in conveyor technology.
Intelligent power management company Eaton is collaborating with facilities and maintenance management solutions provider FMX to help industrial customers implement preventive maintenance programs in their facilities. The Eaton and FMX smart maintenance solution enables customers to automatically react to predictive maintenance data from electrical equipment to simplify maintenance and boost productivity.
AutomationDirect has added Gladiator GECP series modular 12/24 VDC circuit protectors to their selection of electronic circuit protection devices. The GECP series offers both fixed trip current versions and a version with an adjustable trip current range and adjustable trip characteristics. LED signaling with output alarms allows real-time status monitoring. This series is compact, lightweight, and available at a very low cost per channel.
CUI Devices’ Switches Group has recently announced the addition of illuminated models to its line of tactile switches. Housed in compact packages as small as 3.4 x 3.4 x 1.5 mm, these illuminated tactile switches offer a variety of illumination colors, including blue, green, red, red/blue, red/green, white, and yellow. The models feature actuator heights from 0.35 to 6.3 mm, operating forces from 160 up to 300 gf, and life cycle ratings up to 100,000 cycles.
