The DTCD and DTCJ 1.27 mm pitch DIP switches are ultra-miniature SMT components designed for high-density electronic applications. With a low profile height of just 2.2 mm and up to 46% PCB space savings compared to traditional 2.54 mm solutions, they enable significant footprint reduction without compromising functionality. Available in Gullwing and J-bend terminations, both versions are optimized for automated SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The switches support up to 1000 mechanical cycles and operate reliably across a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.
EAO sets a new standard in visual signaling with the launch of a versatile, user friendly line of Light Towers designed for maximum flexibility, rapid installation, and reliable operation in demanding environments. Built with an installer first mindset, the new Series 46 Light Towers feature a single point wiring system that simplifies setup and minimizes installation time. A modular click and connect locking system allows users to assemble, reconfigure, or expand the tower with ease – no specialized tools needed.
New M12 A-Code 22 AWG Cordsets feature shielded conductors for improved noise immunity and analog signal integrity near high-current cables. They also feature Banner’s new molded connector body, which accommodates larger cable diameters and incorporates an easy-grip and keyway indicator for easier alignment during installation. For end-to-end shield continuity, the cable’s shield is terminated to the coupling nut of a straight M12 A-code 5-pin connector. Available with PVC jacket for cost-efficient fixed installation, these cordsets are dual-listed for ITC (Instrumentation Tray Cable) and PLTC (Power-Limited Tray Cable), allowing installation in cable trays as a more cost-efficient alternative to conduit.
New M12 A-Code 18 AWG Cordsets feature large conductors for reduced voltage drop over long runs and Banner’s new molded connector body, which accommodates larger cable diameters and incorporates an easy-grip and keyway indicator for easier alignment during installation. Available in a choice of two jacket options—PVC jacket for cost-efficient fixed installation or a TPE jacket for regular motion and weld spatter exposure—these cordsets are dual-listed for ITC (Instrumentation Tray Cable) and PLTC (Power-Limited Tray Cable), allowing installation in cable trays as a more cost-efficient alternative to conduit.
When selecting rigid conduit, project considerations such as environment, installation type, and long-term maintenance requirements will determine the optimal product for the job.
Bel Fuse Inc is introducing the RCM500E, the second generation of its 500 W DC-DC power supply family, delivering a smaller, more efficient, and cost-effective option, specifically engineered for railway applications, such as rolling stock equipment. Designed with performance and system reliability in mind, the RCM500E provides a compact power conversion platform that helps rail equipment manufacturers optimize space and improve overall system efficiency.
WAGO is expanding its 873 Series with a new, more compact variant, providing lighting and device manufacturers worldwide with an innovative solution for powering LED modules. The compact design is ideal for secondary connections in spotlights, street luminaires, DALI sensors, and basic sensor applications. The connector stands out for its ease of use: the PUSH WIRE connection for solid conductors enables direct insertion, eliminating the labor‑intensive crimping required by many comparable connector types. Thanks to its pluggable design, installation, maintenance, and replacement are quick and straightforward – no tools required.
Same Sky’s Interconnect Group has recently announced the continued expansion of its USB Type C connectors line with a range of new IP rated models. The UJ family now offers waterproof USB receptacles with IPX5, IPX6, IPX7, IPX8, IP66, IP67, and IP68 ratings, making them ideal for applications where moisture and environmental contaminants are a concern. All models are reflow solder compatible, including the parts in this article that utilize UV-glued O-rings capable of withstanding reflow solder temperatures to further simplify the assembly process.
With the new three-phase version of the ESS 076 Smart Sensor Current, STEGO is expanding its sensor portfolio with a compact solution for monitoring electrical loads in industrial applications. The sensor measures three-phase alternating currents without contact, making it easy to monitor machines, systems and industrial distribution cabinets. The ESS 076 was specially developed for applications in which three-phase systems need to be reliably monitored and analyzed. Typical areas of application include mechanical engineering, industrial distribution cabinets and machine tools. The sensor also provides valuable data for energy analyses of larger systems or for identifying load peaks.
