LUTZE: EMC Safety in the Control Cabinet

The LÜTZE wiring system product family has been expanded to include the new EMC click elements for AirSTREAM rail profiles. Like the previous click element for hat profiles, the shield clamps and spring shield clamps of the premium EMC accessories can be used. Shielded cables of all kinds from 10-50 mm can be installed safely and tidily. The EMC click elements can be clicked into the AirSTREAM rail profile or in the DIN hat profile without tools.

ifm: Temporary Housing Color Change

Due to limited raw material availability, some products may be delivered in black PBT plastic instead of their normal orange color. Technically, there is no difference in the material other than the color and the products will also carry the same approvals. At this moment, it is unclear how long the delivery constraints will last on the orange PBT plastic, but in order to maintain product availability, ifm will deliver them in black as needed.

WAGO: Secure and Flexible Mounting

Secure flying leads using WAGO’s new mounting adapters for the MCS MAXI 6 and 16 PCB Connection Systems with levers. A flexible yet secure mount? It sounds contradictory, but it’s not. WAGO’s new mounting adapters for the MCS MAXI 6 and 16 PCB Connection Systems with levers prove that security and flexibility can co-exist. As industry-firsts, these mounting adapters allow flying leads with cross-sections up to 25 mm2 to be easily secured to a DIN-35 rail or panel.

Hammond Manufacturing: Type 12 Lay-In Wireway

Introducing the Type 12 Lay-In Wireway from Hammond Manufacturing, designed to enclose and protect electrical wiring from dirt, dust, oil and water. All sections and fittings of the wireway are completely open on each side to allow wires and cables to be placed into the wireway without ‘pulling through’. The Type-12 has UL 870 Type 1 and CSA Type 1 standards, unless marked, and complies with NEMA Type 12 and IEC 60529, IP54 standards.

HARTING: Han L32 B Offers Optimal Use Of Installation Space

Using an L32 B connector allows users to replace two size 16 B interfaces — saving over 40% of installation space. This makes it possible to transmit power, signals and data with fewer interfaces and fewer components. It also cuts the time required to assemble interfaces. The resulting lower weight also benefits a number of other applications, e.g. in robotics. The solution not only saves space, it also makes a contribution to lower consumption – and thus stands for sustainable product design.
