Cable plugs are frequently used for connecting sensors and actuators with connection terminals to splitter boxes or modules in automation technology. Even when fastened by hand, a perfect lasting seal of splitter and module connections is guaranteed. They offer high protection against moisture ingress and high material resistance to aggressive liquids.
Phoenix Contact’s FINEPITCH board-to-board connector series now includes unshielded options in a 0.8-mm pitch. The unshielded version gives design engineers more flexibility in applications without EMI concerns. The FINEPITCH series comes in multiple orientations, stack heights, and number of positions. The variety of connection options makes it easier to position PCBs at the appropriate angles and distances from each other, even in very compact devices.
Neonode’s zForce® Touch Solutions enables contact-free interaction with graphical user interface (GUIs), reducing pathogen transmission in hospitals and other public spaces.
Würth Elektronik’s expands EMC filtering solutions with WE-CLFS EMC Line Filters and a new “Design Your Own EMC Filter Kit” that enables users to assemble a working EMC filter during design.
Thanks to RFID transponder technology, the coded safety switches PSENcode from Pilz combine maximum manipulation protection with the smallest space requirement
AMT series encoders from CUI Devices are advanced capacitive encoders with a variety of uses. AMT series encoders are typically mounted to the back of a stepper motor but can be used in many other applications. CUI offers the AMT series encoders with configurable pulses per revolution (PPR). The PPR can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software (the AMT10-series encoders are configured using DIP switches).
The plastic push-pull REDEL SP connectors from Lemo offer an ergonomic grip and a variety of colors enhancing usability and are used extensively in medical applications.
Designed to serve a broad range of instrumentation and controls applications, Fibox is proud to introduce the UL listed, NEMA 4X ARCA Cabinet series. Versatile and robust, Fibox created the ARCA Series with one focus; to make the best possible enclosing solution for today’s instrumentation needs.
The ARCA Cabinet from Fibox is available in both portrait and landscape orientation. The ARCA Cabinet Seriesis the first real enclosing alternative to steel boxes. Thanks in part to its high impact resistance, this watertight (NEMA 4X), UV resistant polycarbonate enclosure will not dent, rust, crack or bloom like steel or fiberglass.
Seifert SoliTherm Thermoelectric Coolers from AutomationDirect use the Peltier Effect for closed-loop cooling. The only moving parts are axial fans so there is virtually no maintenance. The Seifert Peltier thermoelectric cooling units can be mounted in nearly every position (except roof mounting) because they don’t have a compressor or any moving parts aside from the fans.
Would you like to connect intelligent IO-Link sensors or actuators to your control system? ASi-5 makes it extremely easy to connect IO-Link devices with different functions and from different manufacturers. Using the function-independent IO-Link protocol, you can connect a wide variety of intelligent sensors and actuators. Thanks to ASi, you only need one cable and have absolutely no restrictions on topology.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, and world class manufacturer of high-speed connectors used in data communication applications announces an addition to the SealJack series, with an IP67 rated RJ45 to RJ45 PCB coupler, ideal for harsh environment applications. Stewart’s SealJack PCB Coupler utilizes a shielded right angle RJ45 SealJack, offering an IP67 rated connection when mounting to a box or panel.
PC-based control specialist Beckhoff has expanded its established, highly successful TwinCAT product range to include TwinCAT Vision, an integrated Image processing solution. This addition underscores the increasing importance of image processing as a quality factor across mechanical engineering, particularly in applications like Industrie 4.0, Quality optimisation, and track-and-trace.
The HARTING Technology is driving its activities in the area of digitalization forward. The aim is to accompany and support customers comprehensively in their digitisation and automation processes. Consequently, HARTING IT Software Development has repositioned itself with a long-term view and is now trading under the peraMIC name.
HARTING has developed a new Han Shielded power module that allows users to insert shielded power lines into modular connectors for the first time. A shielded signal module for easy EMC-protected data transmission will also be added to this product shortly. Customer benefits: Easy to use and shorter installation times.
The HARTING Technology Group has developed a new range of Ethernet switches that facilitates the use of high-performance plug & play gigabit network solutions in the smallest space for data-intensive applications. Imaging processes for quality assurance and monitoring are becoming increasingly significant in all industrial sectors.
HARTING is now presenting the Han S, the first ever large-scale special connector for battery storage modules. The new series meets the technical requirements set down in the latest standards for stationary energy storage systems (incl. UL 4128) and offers users optimal reliability for connected units. The series features housings with space for a heavy-current contact up to 200 A.
