New from Finder is the 46 Series miniature industrial relay range. The 46 Series has evolved from the successful PCB mount 40 Series, and provides both single-pole and two-pole contact configurations for use in control panels and systems. The key characteristic of this new range is its full terminal compatibility with a widely used but single sourced de-facto industry standard. The Faston spade/blade terminals provide secure and reliable connections between the relay and the associated 97 Series socket, over and above that achieved by its predecessor.

Says Finder’s Sales Manager Ted Waller, “This type of relay with spade terminals has been primarily single-sourced until now. The introduction of the 46 Series provides the customer with a real choice, offering a higher current rating than the competing product, and a unique range of optional plug-in modules for greater functionality that is not available elsewhere”

The 46 Series relays are available with either AC or DC coils, and benefit from a host of advanced features and options, including a mechanical flag indicator and manual test button that can be used in momentary or latching mode - useful during commissioning, fault tracing and override situations.  A version with LED indication is also available.

The 46.52 relay has a two-pole changeover (DPDT) configuration and a maximum rated current of 8A, while the single-pole changeover (SPDT) 46.61 model is rated at 16A maximum.

The associated 97 Series rail mounted sockets feature a flip-out retaining and release clip for easy removal of the relay. Uniquely these sockets accept an extensive range of time-delay, coil indication and EMC suppression modules and an 8-way jumper link that reduces the time taken to wire common connections.

As an alternative to using the rail mounting socket the relay can be secured by an optional flange-mount bracket allowing direct mating with Faston connectors.

The terminal arrangement and pitch of the 46 Series are fully compliant with existing relays of this type, and the new relays can be used as a drop-in replacement for industry standard products.

Crydom the leading manufacturer of Solid State Relays (SSR’s) has launched a completely new range of microcontroller based devices. The MCTC is a self contained temperature controller in a single industry standard panel mount package.

The series combines all the necessary functions to accurately regulate temperature. With a simple set up procedure, they provide accurate control for designers for heater and cooling loads of up to 90A AC.

The MCTC requires a non-regulated low drive current DC source (10-32Vdc, 32mA max). The devices have an internally compensated thermocouple input, set to accept J or K types. Five available temperature ranges offering heating control over 37°C to 590°C and an inverse function for refrigeration down to –73°C. Setpoint adjustment is achieved by either low voltage dc or 4-20mA inputs. There is also separate enable/disable input to switch the load.

Integrated zerocross burst firing and proportional derivative control avoids setpoint overshoot. Operators can easily see the controller’s status with separate LED indication for setpoint condition and output status. Load voltage switching can be either 280Vac or 480Vac suitable for both single and three phase systems. Connections are simple screw connections both control and load side. The industry standard package makes it suitable for Crydom’s range of heatsinks.
