Easy Wiring with a New Plug-In Connector

The 3120-N thermal circuit breaker is a single pole or double pole device which can also serve as an ON/OFF switch. Based on its cost-saving design - two functions in a single unit - it has become an integral part of many applications in medical equipment and in apparatus and machine construction. Manufacturers of professional tools also like to use it because of its compact design.

As a new accessory E-T-A offers a plug-in connector for easily wiring the connecting cables.  Two retaining clips ensure a tight connection between the plug-in connector and the breaker. The dimensions of the female contacts (tab width 6.3) are in accordance with DIN 46340 part 3, shape A. E-T-A standard delivery scope is without female contacts.

Benefits:
• Reduction of wiring time during final installation saves time and costs - The plug-in connector can easily be pushed on without tools with a single movement. Female contacts do not have to be plugged on individually.
• Wiring errors are excluded during final assembly - The plug-and-socket connection follows the key-lock-key-principle so that the plug cannot be pushed in the wrong way round (fool-proof).
• Cable contact with long-term stability - The cable lugs latch irreversibly in the connector. The clamping arms of the connector ensure an extremely firm connection between circuit breaker and connector.
• Pre-wiring can be ordered externally - This allows you to use the know-how of specialised cable assemblers.
• Breakers can be swapped quickly and easily - The "old device" can be pulled out with a single movement. Then just push in the new device. Done!

Protecting and Switching in a Single Component

E-T-A’s 3120-N is a single pole or double pole thermal circuit breaker with a bimetal trip element that also serves as an ON/OFF switch. After tripping due to overcurrent, the 3120-N can easily, reliably and quickly be reset. Time-consuming replacement of fuses is eliminated. The 3120-N circuit breaker/switch combination helps you significantly reduce mounting and wiring time as well as expenses for material planning and stocking expenses.

The 3120-N rocker version is available as non-lighted or lighted (12 V - 400 V) and offers various actuator colours as well as marking choices. The 3120-N push button includes the traditional red/green option as well as a unique offering of protection from accidental operation.

                   With Rocker Actuation:                                                With Push Button Actuation:

* Add-on modules for undervoltage release, magnetic trip, remote trip and auxiliary contacts are also available. Appliance inlet modules, plug-in connectors, terminal adapters and a range of additional accessories guarantee solutions for your challenging applications.

Benefits:
• No fuse replacement required - After tripping due to overcurrent, the 3120-N can easily, reliably and quickly be reset.
• Reduced mounting and wiring time - You only mount one component. In addition, cables to connect switch and blade fuse are eliminated.
• Reduced planning and storage costs - 3120-N replaces a switch, a fuse-holder and blade fuses. This makes purchasing logistics much easier.
• Space-saving design - The 3120-N features space-saving integral overcurrent protection. This leaves room for creativity and ideas in terms of space design, even in constricted areas.
• Enhanced reliability - Less single components always mean: less sources of error. E-T-A’s 3120-N helps you consistently increase the overall reliability of your products.

Applications:
• Household, Hobby & Garden Equipment
• Industrial equipment control
• Medical technology

ZF E-bike Speed Sensor Enriches the New Trend of ABS Applications

The ABS system has become indispensable in passenger and commercial vehicles. This safety function is also becoming increasingly popular for e-bikes. Bicycle accidents are often caused by uncontrolled braking, especially during emergency stops or braking on gravel and wet roads. The anti-lock braking system ensures a safe slowdown by evenly deaccelerating the front and rear wheels. To do this, the speed on both wheels must be measured constantly and precisely. The Hall-based speed sensor from ZF promotes this solution.

The ZF e-bike speed sensor GS82-AA02 was specially developed for use in Pedelecs and S-Pedelecs. Based on Hall technology, the sensor in combination with an external, ferromagnetic speed disk achieves a high-resolution speed measurement. The sensor targets the slot structure of the speed disc and, depending on the number of slots, it transmits up to 50 or more speed signals per wheel revolution. In practice, this leads to a finer and quicker response from the e-bike drive. The ABS system also benefits from the high resolution in speed. With the precise speed values of both wheels, the ABS control unit can adjust the wheels to each other and brake them in a controlled manner.

The extremely compact design (21.75mm long x 9.35mm in diameter) of the sensor fulfills the necessary requirements for the use in e-bikes. The speed sensor is based on the principle of the Hall effect and therefore it is contactless and wear-free. The differential measurement of the magnetic flux also increases the robustness of the sensor against vibrations. Depending on the customer's requirements the contact via connector, as well as the cable length, can be preselected individually. The sensor requires a constant voltage supply of 6.5 - 20 VDC and measures frequencies between 1 and 2,500 Hz. They are designed for a temperature range from -25 °C to + 85 °C to fulfill the declaration of conformity in the e-bike industry.

Characteristics
• Hall based non-contact and solid-state sensor
• Virtually unlimited life, no wear and tear from friction
• Immune to vibration, shock, dirt or water for an improved functional safety especially for Pedelecs, S-Pedelecs and E-Scooter
• Available standard product with Higo connector. Flexibility in terms of cable length and connector assemblies.
• High resolution in combination with speed and brake disk especially for slow speeds (e.g. hill starts)
• Hall sensor with speed disk for improved manipulation resistance and robustness
• Best suitable also for ABS-Systems

The Universal Digital Timer offers the same ease of use as analog timers but it is powered with visualization, higher-precision and all the functions you need (up to 138). The new Universal Digital Timer is well suited for a wide range of applications, ranging from heating and cooling in building equipment, Motor or pump control, industrial processes and lighting systems applications and many more.

SYR-LINE Universal Digital Timer‘s high-contrast led screen enables you to monitor the status of the timer. You can see the current time, the function and timing configurations, and know if you are receiving an input signal or if the relay output is activated.

With this Universal Digital Timer, its monitoring is made easy for you by adding

• Large, easy to read digits in 17.5mm for a clear and easy view of your timing status,
• Full scrolling words for best reading in such a slim body,
• Precise timing setting,

Large, manual dial to make configuration easy and intuitive using just your hands, even wearing gloves

Its wide time range, its universal mounting connection and the ability to accept universal voltage input gives the Universal Digital Timer a universal flexibility. It can indeed be programmed from 0.1 second to a 100-day delay and be used with any power supply available, since it works with voltages from 12 to 240V either DC or AC.  The Universal Digital Timer includes ALL the functions you need to run your applications, from the classics like on-delay «A» or off-delay «C», to special ones like repeat cycle «L». It also allows you to adapt them and get up to 138 real operating functions in one single product. This universal flexibility makes it the only ultra multi-function timer.

The new Universal Digital Timer has been built to be simple to use. You can program it in your hands without any power supply. You can get it ready in just a few seconds. Using the Basic parameters, you can configure your timer in only four steps and get it ready in just a few seconds. With the Advanced mode, you can configure all the optional additional parameters. Among those, the Universal Digital Timer offers two great features for you to set the limits. You can either limit user access by setting a password and defining user rights (full access, change time only, view only) or define time limit setting by allowing users to change time only between lower and upper limits.
