Keystone offers an extensive series of waterproof connectors suitable for 100Base-T (Fast Ethernet) applications.
Klein Tools recently introduced the 14-in-1 Precision Screwdriver/Nut Driver, a precision integrated tool that houses 8 screwdriver tips and 6 nut driver sizes.
Schneider Electric has recently announced that REV Engineering (REV) has joined its EcoXpert Partner Program in Canada as a Critical Power EcoXpert specializing in Power Quality. The partnership will bring the latest in IoT-enabled technology for improved power availability, safety and operational efficiency to customers in Western Canada.
Verotec manufactures three different 19″ rack cases to meet application requiremetns: the heavy-duty EMC screened RackCase PRO, Veroshield EMC rack case and standard general-purpose rack case.
Phoenix Contact has recently introduced its first robust multifiber data connectors to the market. The FO connectors of the M17 MPO (multifiber push-on) series are particularly suitable for real-time data transmission in intelligent power grids. The robust interfaces feature high-quality fiber optics which provide stable bandwidths over long transmission distances.
KNIPEX Tools introduced its StepCut cable shears for solid, multi-core stranded copper and aluminum cables up to 1/0 AWG. The StepCut’s most unique feature is its cutting edge gradations that cut wires and strands one by one without crushing the cable.
USDK656 is a modern signal & power slip ring system, using Mersen premium carbon brush grades to transmit signal, data and power. Mersen premium carbon grades are based on tribological experience with low wear rate, which translates to less dusting, reliable data transfer, power and extended life of the component.
The EMC cable entry frame EMC-KEL-DS has been metallised (galvanise coated) to create a conductive surface. The front cable grommet (KT) is used for strain relief and cable sealing on the cable jacket. The cable shield is contacted over 360° via the rear conductive grommet (EMC-KT). The EMC-KEL-DS frames match exactly the cut-out dimensions for 24-pin standard industrial connectors. Either a cut-out of 36 mm or 46 mm in height can be chosen depending on the cables being routed.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has recently developed the Collaborative Information Server (CI Server) and will be releasing it to the market in January 2021 as part of the OpreX Control and Safety System family. The solution will integrate the handling of all kinds of data from plant facilities and systems to enable the optimized management of production activities across an entire enterprise, and provide the environment needed to remotely monitor and control operations from any location.
Phoenix Contact’s new BOXTRAB surge protective device (SPD) combines protection for power, data, and signal within the same enclosure. In the process industries, instrumentation requires both power and signal/data control lines. Equipment users often protect these circuits with two dedicated surge protectors: one for power and one for signal. BOXTRAB provides an all-inclusive suppression system comprising independently configured protection arrays within a single enclosure to safeguard both the instrument’s power and signal lines.
The new electrician’s scissors from Phoenix Contact’s Cutfox series have durable micro-serrated blades, so they can deliver high cutting performance. The new scissors are suitable for cutting copper (flexible), aluminum (flexible), glass, and Kevlar fibers, plastic, and braided shield.
Recently, Panel Builder US had the opportunity to speak with Bitronics, a NovaTech company, that is focused on delivering power measurement, process control, and substation automation.
Enclosures are widely used to house electrical or electronic equipment along with switches, knobs and displays while providing a safe installation that prevents electrical shock to equipment users and protects the contents from the environment. Today’s enclosures are designed with features and materials that allow safe and protective use in hazardous areas, but also designed to be pleasing to the eye.
CARLO GAVAZZI has recently launched the RM1D Series, a comprehensive family of DC switching solid state relays. The RM1D Series is designed for applications that demand critical response times, rapid cycling, and high reliability. They are ideal for use in transportation, off-grid and renewable energy systems that run off batteries, as well as DC heaters, solenoids, valves, fans, and other equipment that requires DC switching.
The EJxxxx EtherCAT plug-in modules are electronically based on the well-known EtherCAT I/O system and their design allows them to be directly attached to a circuit board. The circuit board is an application-specific signal distribution board that distributes signals and power supply to individual application-specific plug connectors in order to connect the controller to further machine modules.
