This unique accessory provides a rear of panel seal to Bulgin’s panel mounting waterproof Buccaneer connectors.

The PX0799 backshell replaces the existing panel nut, fixing the connector in place, and provides dust and water protection up to IP68 between the panel and the cable at the rear. This allows a through panel seal with waterproof connections both sides of the panel whilst still retaining a re-wireable capability.

Using the same cable gland sealing system as the standard Buccaneer cable connectors, it will accommodate 6 to 8mm diameter cable as standard, extending from 3.5 to 9.0 with alternative sealing glands.

New D1D and D2D series solid state relays add to Crydom's
already extensive offer for high-current DC applications
such as heater, lighting and motor control

Crydom's D1D and D2D series of FET output DC Solid State Relays formerly rated up to 40 amps at 100 VDC and 12 amps at 200 VDC, now includes new models rated at 60, 80 and 100 amps at 100 VDC, as well as 40 amps at 200 VDC. The new models which are offered in the industry standard "hockey puck" SSR package, adds to Crydom's present offer which includes the D06 rated to 100 amps at 60 VDC, D2D & D4D series rated to 12 amps and D5D models rated to 10 amps at 200, 400 and 500 VDC respectively.

The new D1D relays feature a low on-state resistance FET output capable of carrying 60, 80 or 100 amps when the SSR is mounted on an appropriately rated heat sink. Likewise, the new D2D40 features a similar FET design rated to 40 amps with appropriate heat sink. Control for these Crydom DC output SSRs is by a transformer isolated 3 to 32 VDC logic compatible input providing 2500 VAC input to output isolation. The outputs are diode protected and specified to operate up to 1 kHz. 

Crydom DC output SSRs are ideal for heating and lighting control as well as motor control in commercial, industrial, medical, aerospace, rail and automotive applications.

Schurter is pleased to announce the added snap-in version of the series 5003 DC power entry module for 48V telecom and other DC-powered equipment. The new DC module features two different standard connector styles, AMP Universal MATE-N-LOK and Molex HCS-125. The connectors are encased with a single stage filter rated up to 15 A at 125 VDC. The filters provide wide-band attenuation in frequencies ranging from 100 kHz to 30 MHz.

Demand for higher data processing and transmission speeds, at the Customer Premises Equipment level, pushes demand upstream to Internet Service Providers and eventually to the core Central Office services. This movement toward higher speed and functionality brings with it the challenge of effectively managing potentially harmful electro-magnetic interferences in equipment used throughout these communications systems. While filtered AC power entry modules have become a popular solution for filtering AC power lines, the concept of a DC filtered power entry module, specifically for telecom equipment, is relatively new.

The 5003 provides optimal shielding at the panel opening. It includes a screw mount version for front or rear mounting to the chassis as well as the new snap-in version. The version for rear mounting allows for pre-wiring of the module prior to installation. Labor cost saving options can be realized by using either the snap-in version or the rear mount version with its pre-threaded holes. 

The non potted design provides maximum performance in a lightweight and environmentally friendly compact package. The series is ENEC and cURs approved and complies with IEC/EN 60950 standard, for office and IT equipment. Applications include network routers, LAN switches, WAN switches and multiplexers, as well as other equipment using DC power supplies.

Schurter’s new power entry modules, series DD11 and DD12, are designed to be extremely compact and robust. The DD11 is equipped with multiple functions including an IEC C14 appliance connector, switch and fuseholder. The DD12 combines the same functions and additionally includes a line filter.

The compact design makes the series ideally suited for the use in equipment with limited space and more demanding electrical and mechanical requirements. Their excellent performance ensure their potential applications are wide-ranging, they are suitable for almost any application requiring detachable power, including medical, office, household appliances and automation. When mounted perpendicular to the board, the modules fit within one rack unit (1RU) enclosures, also making them particularly ideal for IT and telecom applications.

The series mounts to the panel with screws. The filtered version has a broad metal flange, ensuring optimal contact to the appliance chassis for ideal shielding and filtering. Special filters with enhanced voltage withstand are available on request. The series is ENEC and cURus approved and complies with IEC/EN standards for office and medical equipment, 60950 and 60601-1 respectively.

Crydom has combined solid state and mechanical switching
technologies to create a contactor with longer operational life
than standard EMR's in an industry standard package!

Crydom, global expert in solid state relay technology, introduces a new line of high power Hybrid Solid State Contactors for use in Heating and Lighting applications where Mercury Displacement Relays have previously been applied, and where life cycle constraints limit the use of Definite Purpose Contactors.

crydom_rhp.pdf

Mounting identically to a standard 3 phase DP (Definite Purpose) contactor, and featuring full load life cycle ratings of greater than 2 million operations, the new RHP line includes 3 phase contactor configurations rated at 120, 240, 280 or 600 VAC at 40 or 50 amp load ratings per phase at 65 degrees C ambient temperature. Control voltages of 24, 120 or 220 VAC, and unique logic compatible 5, 12 or 24 VDC input control options are offered. The RHP line is UL and cUL approved and CE certified.

The RHP line incorporates Crydom's proven Hybrid SSR technology that utilizes contactless Solid State Relay turn on and turn off performance, coupled with the very low on state power dissipation characteristics of contactors, thus eliminating the need for heat sinking. The higher power switching capabilities of the new RHP line means that in those applications where Mercury Displacement Relays are no longer welcome, the OEM manufacturer now has a cost effective alternative available. Similarly, in applications where contactor life cycles are a limiting or maintenance cost concern, the new Crydom RHP Contactor provides significantly longer operational life capability in an identical mounting package.

Small, Tough Switch for Hydraulic Brake Systems
in Harsh Environments

Honeywell introduces the Series 1000 pressure switch for potential hydraulic brake pressure applications. Honeywell’s Series 1000 switch excels in brake systems used in many harsh environments such as extreme weather conditions or particle-filled areas due to its IP65 sealing and high burst rating. With its high resistance to shock and vibration, this pressure switch is designed to withstand pressure spikes in critical systems.

Honeywell Sensing and Control has utilized our engineering expertise to reduce part count on this product by approximately 75%. With fewer parts, the switch’s cost and complexity are optimized. The new design may contribute to lowering installation time by minimizing the time required for adjustments and potentially the need for field maintenance. The result is reduced field failures, even in the most demanding environments. Custom versions of this product have been in operation for over 2 years in 20,000 ATVs with no known field failures reported.

With its small size and superior sealing, the Series 1000 pressure switch may be used to actuate brake lights in brake systems for small vehicles used in many harsh environments.  Typical vehicles include ATVs, snow, and sport vehicles as well as smaller motorcycles and scooters. The switch may also be used in applications where high operating pressure and low set point are required. Other potential applications may include hydraulic brake systems in small vehicles, compact agriculture tractors, utility vehicles (UTVs), trucks, lift trucks, and other small self-propelled vehicles.
