E. Preston (Electrical) Ltd has been a specialist distributor of electrical and electronic components since 1980, offering thousands of products to meet a wide variety of needs and applications.
But we do more than simply sell components — we have built a reputation as a company who do business the traditional and honest way. Paying attention to the simple things — like phoning people back when we say we will — has kept our customers coming back for over four decades.
Our staff are experts in their fields, we maintain appropriate stock levels, and all of our processes are fully computerised to ensure a smooth operation.
We also understand that business is carried out between people, not companies. We do the hard work to maintain relationships with our suppliers as well as our customers. That way everybody in every part of the supply chain is satisfied – from the manufacturer to the end consumer.
The company, which is still wholly owned by the Directors, is located on a modern industrial estate which lies six miles to the east of Manchester in the North West of England.

Plugging Aid and Protection Cover for all OGN Fuse Holders
Easy placing and replacing of 5x20 fuses
Approved as a cover in operation
Glow wire tested
1:1 replacement of current plugging aid
For the Schurter OGN fuse holder, which is available in THT, SMT and THR technology, Schurter offers a variety of different covers in addition to a dedicated plugging aid. Schurter launches the OGN Adapter for easy mounting and removal of fuses and at the same time serves as a cover for the OGN fuse holders.
The currently available OGN plugging aid is a very useful tool for placing 5x20 fuses into all types of OGN fuse holder. It makes placing and replacing of fuses much easier, especially on densely packed PCBs.
It is often the case that the plugging aid remains in place together with the fuse, which means that the plugging aid also remains in the appliance during operation. However, this is not permitted for safety reasons. With a rated power consumption of 2.5W/10 A, the plugging aid is endangered to overheat. Schurter is now taking this into account with the launch of the new OGN Adapter. At 4W/16A, it is significantly more heat-resistant and has also been tested for glow-wire resistance. It can therefore remain in the device during operation with a clear conscience (VDE approval) and serve as a cover.
The new OGN Adapter can therefore replace two products at once: the cover and the plugging aid. The OGN Adapter is going to replace the existing OGN plugging aids. They are not recommended anymore for new designs and will fall out of the product range soon.
Debox V offers extra-value option, while maintaining time saving & easy installation - but is supplied without connectors, for electricians who prefer to use their own
Debox V, a extra-value variant, to its popular and innovative Debox cable junction box series. Hylec’s Debox junction box range is well known among electrical installers for being supplied complete-for-use, making connections quicker and easier, saving them time and money. However, Hylec research has shown that many electricians routinely carry boxes of standard connectors, which they often prefer to use.
The Debox V offers the same time-saving features and ease-of-installation as other Debox junction boxes – but is supplied without connectors, providing an extra-value option for electricians who carry and prefer to use their own connectors. Debox V also provides a secure way to house ready-terminated connectors within a quick-to-install enclosure, using the electrician’s preferred lever connectors.
