"New compact Magnet Carrier 709-21995 for use with existing Hall-based angle sensors for precise and wear-free angle measurement".
ZF presents its new compact Magnet Carrier 709-21995 for use with existing Hall-based angle sensors for precise and wear-free angle measurement. These are ideal for harsh environments such as in the steering system of forklifts and other off-road vehicles. The combination of the new magnet carrier with the ANG angle sensor offers enormous advantages in limited space due to its small dimensions.
ZF offers several angle sensor variants that differ between the redundancy of the output signal: non-, semi or full redundancy, (primarily for safety requirements), the measuring angle and the cable connection and connector type. These variants support flexible use in individual application areas of angle detection. The ANG sensor is the newest in the ZF angle position sensing portfolio. With its length of 3.2 cm and width of 4.5 cm, it fulfills strict requirements in respect of limited space in customer applications and has an extended temperature range (-40 to 140°C), high accuracy (+/- 2% to +/- 2.5%) and is rated IP68. Depending on the desired security, the ANG angle sensor is available in a simple version with three cable outputs but without a redundant output signal, or with four cables and a semi-redundant output signal.
The brand new and extremely compact magnetic carrier from ZF is ideally suited for combination with angle sensors over a measuring range of up to 360°. It works perfectly in conjunction with the ZF Hall sensors. The plastic carrier housing contains a rare earth magnet consisting of a samarium-cobalt compound. It is equipped with two brass bushings to attach the magnet carrier to the target object reliably. The magnet carrier has primarily been designed to serve applications with limited space. It is only 2.4 cm long and 1.8 cm high.
An application example is electric steering (steer by wire) in forklifts, one that ZF sensors and magnet carriers are already well established. The target is for the precise implementation of the desired steering angle from the driver to be communicated to the vehicle. The small magnet carrier is mechanically attached to the steering axle with M3 screws and rotates without contact. It is therefore wear-free over the Hall element of the sensor.

SMD Ceramic Fuse with Very High Breaking Capacity
• 26 rated currents from 0.16 to 50 A
• International approvals
• Time-Lag T characteristic
• Impermeable to potting compound
The well introduced SMD ceramic fuses of the UMT-H family have been expanded in the form of a 40 A and a 50 A version. Schurter now offers the UMT-H with its Time-Lag T characteristic in a total of 26 rated currents between 160 mA and 50 A.
The UMT-H SMD ceramic fuse now covers a current range from 160 mA to 50 A at voltages of up to 277 VAC and 250 VDC. This makes the cuboid fuse ideal for cost-efficient automated assembly. Its large solder pads ensure excellent heat dissipation.
Applications
The UMT-H was specially developed for primary protection in industrial electronics at nominal voltages of up to 277 VAC. Additional areas of application are energy supply, medical technology and telecommunications as well as e-mobility. New market developments show that currents of 40 A and 50 A are increasingly needed for battery-powered applications.
High Inrush Currents
The UMT-H is predestined for use in applications with high inrush currents (e.g. motors) due to its Time-Lag T characteristic. But also newer applications, which increasingly rely on powerful accumulators, often require slow tripping.
Impermeable to Potting Compound
The UMT-H remains tight with most commercially available potting compounds. Therefore, this fuse is especially suitable for high demands. In addition, the high breaking capacity of 1500 A and the cap distance of >10 mm make the UMT-H the ideal choice for explosion protection.

Thermal Circuit Breaker with Modern Design and Refreshing Colors
• New design with a variety of color combinations
• Unique UL rating of 277 VAC
• Finely graded rated currents
Improving a good product - this was the principle behind the development of the Schurter TA36 thermal circuit breaker. Based on the TA35, which has been successfully proven for many years, a refreshing product with a contemporary look was developed.
No longer only functionality and quality matter. Today, a good product must also withstand the critical gaze of a clientele who is accustomed to design.
Refreshing Design
A switch is operated with fingers - sensible sensors. Surfaces and materials are providing a direct feedback, to indicate and feel the quality of a product. Gently curved lines and the best materials combined in the TA36 result in an appealing feeling. Both the flange (3 colours) and the actuator (7 colours) are available in a variety of trendy colours and colour combinations with 5 different types of markings.
Proven Technology
Technically, the TA36 series offers proven technology over years: it is a particularly versatile series of miniature circuit breakers with an especially high UL rating of 277 VAC. It is available as a 1- or 2-pole version and impresses with its compact dimensions.
Wide Range of Applications
The new TA36 offers both the function of an appliance switch and thermal overcurrent protection. Finely graded rated currents from 0.05 A to 20 A are available for 1- and 2-pole circuit breakers. The TA36 switches are designed for efficient snap-in mounting and are equipped with plug-in connections (Quick Connect).
There are almost no limits for the TA36 to find its purpose in various applications: from industrial and medical technology to consumer goods, a TA36 fits almost everywhere.
The TA36 Circuit Breaker is Characterised by Following Key Data:
• Nominal voltage up to 277 VAC and 60 VDC
• Nominal currents with fine gradings from 0.05 A to 20 A
• Rocker-type actuation
• 1-pole or 2-pole versions with quick connect terminals
• Operational temperature from -30 °C to +60 °C
• Degree of protection IP40 (front side)
• UL and VDE approvals (*CCC pending)
• «Retrofit» compatibility given with TA35 circuit breakers

E. Preston (Electrical) Ltd was established in 1980 as a specialist distributor of switches and electrical components. Beginning with only 3 franchises the company currently has over 40 different franchises and holds approximately half a million pounds worth of stock.
Now in the third generation of family ownership E Preston Electrical continues to grow and build on traditional values.
“We work hard for our customers to get the best products at the best prices while providing exceptional customer service. We always do what we say we will, even if that is just a call back,” says Mark Preston, MD.
This is a principle that was rooted in the business from its inception over 30 years ago by founder, and grandfather to the current directors, Ernest Preston.
Although there is still a great emphasis on these traditional values the company has embraced new technology in all of its business operations and now launches a new digital venture. The new interactive e-shop eprestononline.co.uk is aimed at increasing accessibility to existing and new customers.
“We have access to the latest technology from our suppliers,” says Matthew Preston, sales director. “We want to make dealing with E Preston as easy as possible. We will continue to visit new and existing customers, and speak to them on the telephone, but with eprestononline we can offer them access to our company whenever they want.”
The new eShop will allow customers to log in to their own portal to view orders, print off documents such as acknowledgements and invoices, and allows them to place repeat orders. Data sheets and supplier catalogues will also be readily available.
The company believes it maintains its position as a traditional company - or more appropriately, a modern company with traditional values.
