5707 Series – SCHURTER Dual Fused Filtered Power Entry Module with IP65 Seal Protection

October 16, 2008

 Schurter Logo1.jpg

The new and first of its kind power entry module, Schurter series 5707, advances the range of applications in the area of detachable power. It offers an alternative to makeshift accessories often used to prevent particles or liquids from entering into the appliance. The new power entry module is resistant to dirt, dust and other fine particles, as well as sprays, splashes and jets of non-aggressive liquids. It is ideal for use in electronic equipment exposed to leaks, drips and spills, as well as equipment subject to routine washing or disinfecting.

5707.jpg

The inlet portion of the 5707 is according to IEC 60320-1, style C14 or C18. It is combined with a 1-or 2-pole fuse holder and a standard or medical EMC filter rated up to 8 Amps at 250 VAC. The complete unit is rated IP65 with seal protection at the panel opening, around the fuse holders and between the inlet and connector pins. The seal at the panel opening is achieved with a rubber lining, which is fixed into a groove around the metal flange. Front or rear mount versions are available. Special screws guarantee the sealing at the mounting holes.  The fuse holders are independent of each other and accept 5x20 mm fuses. Screw caps with o-rings are used to provide a seal between the cap and holder. A tool is required to remove the cap from the holder to replace the fuse, which is required for medical equipment.

The 5707 offers pre-wired electrical connections, using 6.3x0.8 quick connect terminals. The series is approved according to ENEC, UL & CSA. Versions for protection class I or II are available, as well as a version with special class I capacitors for increased voltage withstand. The module is according to medical standards IEC/UL 60601-1 and is ideally suited for use in medical applications such as diagnostic, dialysis and infusion devices, as well as commercial appliances such as drink dispensing equipment.

Bulgin Mini USB AB Type Connector Sealed to IP68

October 15, 2008

Bulgin_Logo_150px.gif

This latest addition to Bulgin's Data Buccaneer range of dust and waterproof connectors is a new Mini USB 'AB' style interface in three panel mounted configurations.

These three new 'AB' versions offer a choice of panel mounting. The first, PX0456, is front of panel mounting with a flying lead to the rear, terminated with a 6 way 0.1” crimp connector.

The other two are rear of panel mounted; the PX0457 has a flying lead terminated with 6 way PCB header and the PX0458 has straight PC pins for direct soldering to a PCB. Both of these allow the connector to be soldered to a PCB sub-assembly and tested as part of the assembly before final build.

Mini-AB.jpg

Being compatible with both mini 'A' and mini 'B' style interfaces this new 5 pole product allows the true functionality of this 'plug and play' interface.

As with others in the Buccaneer range, the mini USB connector is dust and waterproof to IP68, when mated, and provides USB V2.0 performance up to 480Mbs.

The matching pre-wired cable connectors, PX0441 and PX0442, are available in 2, 3 and 4.5m lengths with a sealed Mini 'B' type USB connector paired with either standard or miniature 'A' type USB connector. The diameter over the coupling ring is just 19mm and the screw coupling provides a secure, proven locking system.

Mini USB Buccaneer finds many applications within smaller peripherals or where panel space is at a premium and, as with all Bulgin products, is fully RoHS compliant.

Bulgin IP68 Rated USB Flash Drive Cover

September 25, 2008

Bulgin_Logo_150px.gif

Bulgin’s waterproof USB Buccaneer connectors are being employed in many different areas and applications, with one of the most prominent as a data ‘downloading’ port.

In this application the panel connector is not always used with a mating connector, instead a USB Flash drive is connected to input or extract data from the equipment.

USB-Cover.jpg

Some applications warrant the Flash drive being left in-situ, but this can compromise the integrity of the equipment’s environmental sealing characteristics. To overcome this Bulgin have a developed an extended cover that will maintain the IP68 sealing of this interface whilst the Flash drive remains connected. The cover is suitable for use on all Buccaneer USB ‘A’ type connectors: PX0842/A, PX0843/A, PX0845/A and PX0849/A.

Designed to accommodate a wide variety of USB Flash drives this simple accessory will find many uses where transportation of data and sealing integrity of the equipment are important considerations.

5130 Series – SCHURTER Advances its EMI Filter Assortment to Meet Increasing Economical and Ecological Requirements

September 12, 2008

 Schurter Logo1.jpg 

ECO – The smart choice for your demanding power entry requirements

Schurter’s new 20A IEC inlet with EMI filter, series 5130 ECO design, meets the increasing demands of  IT, medical and industrial appliances. The new ECO design provides cost savings and maximum performance in a lightweight and environmentally friendly compact package. 

The 5130 combines an IEC C20 inlet with line filter in various mounting styles. The positive electrical contact of the broad metal flange to the chassis ensures optimal filtering and shielding. The units are available with current ratings 20A or 16A, depending on attenuation requirements. In addition to the standard version, medical filters with low leakage currents of

Mounting options include a front or rear version for traditional screw and nut mounting or rivet mounting. A version specifically for rear mounting features pre-formed threaded holes for M3 screws, which eliminates the handling of nuts and reduces labor costs. These benefits can also be achieved with the snap-in mounting style. Terminals accept 6.3x0.8 mm quick-connect tabs.

The increasing function and power density of todays IT, medical and industial applications leads to higher energy consumption. The 5130 ECO is the optimal solution, combining uncompromised features and performance with compactness of design to meet this growing demand.

The series is ENEC and cURus approved and complies with IEC/EN standards for office and medical equipment, 60950 and 60601-1 respectively.

Bulgin Waterproof SMB Antenna

September 8, 2008

Bulgin_Logo_150px.gif

The Buccaneer Antenna is a robust and completely waterproof antenna specifically developed for three popular frequency bands.

Integrating the antenna with its waterproof connector can reduce the total number of connectors in the RF chain, reducing insertion losses, effectively increasing the total system gain.

The PX0407 covers the 2.4GHz band popular for wireless LAN, Bluetooth and Zigbee, while the PX0408 covers the UHF 440-470MHz band popular for general purpose radio applications and the PX0409 covers the 850-900/1800/1900MHz bands popular for GSM/Cellular applications.

SMB-Ant-PR.jpg

Designed to the same style as Bulgin’s SMB Buccaneer, the sealed antenna has an integrated SMB connector with an overall diameter of just 19mm and the mating panel connector has a panel fixing hole of 16mm diameter. Rated at IP68, the antenna provides complete protection from harsh environments, and all electrical connections are gold plated to ensure system performance and reliability is maintained.

The mating panel connector, PX0414, with an SMB jack, is terminated with RG-174 cable in 0.5m, 1.0m or 1.5m lengths, this provides fast assembly to the panel and only requires termination into the equipment.

Having a two-part solution with removable antenna and panel connector makes installation and testing a much simpler process, whilst also ensuring that the environmental seal and enclosure integrity are maintained.

Typical application areas are industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio for instrumentation and telemetry systems, including Zigbee. Additional applications are base stations and outdoor hotspot installations, specifically for wireless LAN, GSM and Bluetooth communication equipment.
