Sensata Technologies, an industrial technology company and a leading provider of sensors, today announced the availability of the new ACW4 Single Turn and TCW4 Multi Turn Absolute Hall Effect Sensors, which feature an over-molded, two-part modular construction that provides engineers with exceptional design flexibility.

The sensing electronics are encased in a thermoplastic polyamide shell while the separate activating magnet is external to the sensor assembly. This modular architecture results in a compact package of only 50mm in diameter by a maximum 24mm thick that allows designers to easily incorporate the ACW4 and TCW4 sensors into both new and existing systems. An over-molded housing completely encapsulates the electronics and seals the cable entry from exposure to the elements, making this IP67-rated sensor an ideal solution for robotic, industrial, manufacturing and material handling applications where dusty or wet conditions are common.

To help save time and cost, Sensata offers a variety of engineered magnet holder accessories that developers can use instead of designing and testing their own. A variety of output types are available to ensure that the ACW4 or TWC4 sensors can interface with the most common controllers. Unlike typical Hall effect sensors, which rely on a shaft to operate, there are no moving parts in contact with each other; eliminating any potential wear or misalignment.

SIL3 Functional Safety Incremental Encoders
With a robust and reliable design resulting in a wide range of secure products, which can be used in several types of configuration.

Any automated system potentially poses a risk to people, property or the environment. For this reason a number of safety measures have been taken. Safety standards have been created with one thing in mind: limiting risk.

With these standards as a framework, functional safety can, after a risk analysis, provide appropriate protection. Hazards are anticipated during the system design phase and are dealt with before they occur. These standards have evolved to increase the safety level and have been applicable since 2012.

Features
• Usable up to SIL3 and Cat.4 / PLe according to IEC 61508 / EN ISO
13849
• Suitable for safe motor feedback according to IEC 61800-5-2
• Robustness and excellent resistance to shock and vibration
• High protection level: IP65
• High temperature performance –20°C to +85°C
• Power supply 5Vdc or 11/30Vdc
• Digital TTL/RS422 or HTL or sine/cosine 1Vpp output

SMD Fuse for Electromobility Applications

• Extended rated current range with 15 A
• Ideal for electromobility applications
• Cycle resistant with quick characteristics
• Halogen-free and RoHS-compliant

The proven UMF 250 SMD fuse family gets extended by a 15 A version. SCHURTER is now offering the UMF 250 in a total of 15 rated currents between 500 mA and 15 A. It is particularly suitable for electromobility applications with higher rated currents.

With its quick characteristics (small melting integral) according to IEC 60127-4, the UMF 250 is the logical addition to the successful UMT 250 range. It is sealed against potting compound to achieve a hermetic seal for use in intrinsically safe applications according to ATEX and IECEx requirements. Thanks to its high cycle stability and minimal temperature derating, it is extremely robust and aging resistant.

Applications
Thanks to its low internal resistance, the UMF 250 is ideally suited for primary and secondary protection on SMD circuit boards. Applications of the UMF 250 include the protection of battery-powered systems with high switch-off capacities of 500 A @ 125 VDC (e.g. electromobility). The fuse is also suitable for primary protection in the AC range, for example in voltage regulator modules and charging stations.

For Lead-Free Soldering Processes
The UMF 250 is a halogen-free and RoHS-compliant fuse for lead-free soldering processes. The solder surface compatibility with the most important competitor products allows Schurter to offer the UMF 250 as a replacement product. The fuse is cURus approved. Available in 100 pcs plastic bag or 2000 pcs tape and reel packaging.

A timer is a simple automation component which is used to manage actions over a period of time or control how long actions last.  The timer is a control device which triggers an action according to a time and a function.  After a predefined time has elapsed, the timer closes or opens one or more contacts. Timing cycles, whether single shot or repetitive, are started by latching inputs or pulsed inputs, allowing a wide variety of functions to be created.

Timers can be found in electrical cabinets associated with other automation functions for the following markets:

• Food industry
• Industrial automation systems
• Lighting
• Building equipment
• HVAC
• Small or large industrial machines
