SCHURTER series DG11 and DG12 with and without mains filter features a first-of-its-kind ingress protection solution for IEC inlets, consisting of a seal gasket between the connector and mating V-Lock power cord. The blue colored latch of the V-Lock power cord and blue inlay of the appliance inlet indicate that the two have been equipped to provide an IP54 rating under load. The unit is screw mounted and rated IP67 between the power entry module and the panel.
Panel builders have new tools for bringing power and signals back into protected areas with Banner’s M8 and M12 receptacles. These receptacles let users easily connect devices to a panel while maintaining a waterproof IP67 rating. Maintenance is also simplified: if a cable is damaged between a field device and the control panel, simply swap the damaged cable for a new one—no rewiring is needed in the panel. The slim profile leaves no bulky threads sticking out, allowing an easier fit into tight panels.
The LED 121/122 Varioline is a powerful and compact LED light with integrated receptacle for use in enclosures. Featuring socket standards of many European countries as well as the US and Australia, it allows for the power connection of laptops and diagnostic devices. Its LED tube emits more than 1,000/1,700 Lm thereby illuminating even very large enclosures in their full depth and height. The glare-free, 120° rotatable light tube uses Mid-power LEDs with a service life of 60,000 hours.
Fischer Connectors has released new First Mate Last Break connectors in its low-voltage multipole Fischer Core Series, to offer outstanding levels of electrical safety, mechanical reliability and ease of use for operators of medical devices in compliance with IEC 60601-1. As its name denotes, First Mate Last Break (FMLB) ensures the permanent ground presence of an electrical system through a longer pin in the plug that “mates first and breaks last” with the system’s receptacle to avoid risky electrical safety conditions.
CDM Electronics has announced an agreement with Positronic to stock and distribute their line of high-reliability Rack & Panel connectors, contacts and accessories at their Turnersville, NJ location. Positronic, a subsidiary of Amphenol Corporation, is one of the world’s major manufacturers of interconnect products for defense, industrial and commercial applications. CDM now provides the full range of Positronic GAP and GAPL series PCB-terminated rectangular connectors, along with the MIL-DTL-28748-qualified GM and GMCT series connectors.
AutomationDirect has added EWT-PA series flexible, non-metallic, two-piece split conduit from Murrplastik. This flex split conduit provides an easy solution for routing pre-terminated cables, eliminating the need to dismantle/reassemble the installed connectors. The EWT-PA series conduit consists of dual overlapping tubes that are easy to open yet provide mechanical protection and eliminate unintentional exposure of the cabling bundle inside. This conduit is ideal for cable installations on cobots, gantry systems, or any retrofitting application.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, has recently announced the expansion of its M12 cable and connector product line for industrial applications and harsh environments. All of the cables and connectors in the M12 product line are designed for use in rugged spaces and are IP67 rated or above for water resistance and dust protection. Supporting Ethernet data transfer in aerospace, industrial automation, manufacturing, and robotics, the expansion of the M12 product line can help customers who need readily available parts in a variety length and mount features in order to quickly scale total solution deployments.
binder now offers K- and L-coded panel mount parts within its 824/823 product series, which are intended for power applications in the North American market in compliance with the UL 2237 standard. These include 5-pin male and female panel mount parts featuring screw locking that meet the protection degree criteria of IP68. Electrical and plant engineering as well as industrial controls are the main application areas for these M12 components.
The new bulkhead KEL-FW is perfect for routing cables with/without connectors at a 90° angle over a large bending radius (max. 150 mm). The hinged cover of the new bulkhead KEL-FW is firmly connected to the housing by a hinge and is therefore captive. This makes the system very easy and quick to mount. The KEL-FW is first screwed to the enclosure using the two rear holes and then fitted with the required cable grommets. The cover is then folded down, locked in place and screwed to the enclosure using the two front holes.
For signal and power transmission: The WINSTA MINI female connector/socket with protection type IP40. WAGO pluggable installation connectors can be used when criteria are multiplied or are distributed on a defined pattern, for example, when installing grid flush-mount lighting. For greater security in electrical installations, the pluggable installation connector is provided with mechanical protection against mismating. The pluggable installation connector is protected against ingress by solid granular objects with a diameter of less than 1 mm in accordance with protection type IP40.
Legrand’s complete fiber offering has redefined performance in the data center, delivering the most advanced network systems: Infinium Quantum, Ultra, and Core.
