Littelfuse 777 Series Axial Lead Fuses



Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, has introduced the compact 777 Series Fuse to provide protection for higher-wattage wall-mount chargers for battery-powered electronic equipment. Although chargers for earlier generations of mobile phones had relatively low wattage (typically about 5W), today’s highly compact chargers must often be able to handle 10-15W of power, which requires withstanding higher levels of current. The axial lead, 3.6mm x 9mm 777 Series Fuse incorporates an innovative type of filler material that provides a finely tuned balance between the surge tolerance necessary to prevent nuisance fuse tripping with the fuse’s ability to open safely when a short-circuit occurs. The 777 Series’ robust design lets it withstand up to 24 hits of 7.5kV ringwave surge; it will open safely on a direct short condition without producing soot, sparks, and sounds. Typical applications include wall-mount smartphone and tablet chargers and 10‑20W power supply modules for other battery-powered consumer electronics.

“From the consumer perspective, everybody wants their mobile electronic devices to recharge quickly, so they can get back to using them in the way they were intended. The 777 Series Fuse allows circuit designers to engineer fast, compact, and economical chargers that don’t compromise user safety,” said Daniel Wang, product manager for the 777 Series Fuse line. “Circuit designers can count on Littelfuse for robust fuse design and superior manufacturing quality.”

FEATURES

  • Its high interrupting rating design ensures the fuse will open safely under short-circuit conditions without producing soot, sparks, or popping noises.
  • The high surge withstand capability prevents nuisance tripping of the fuse caused by transient surges.
  • The fuse’s 3.6mm x 9mm footprint conserves board space, which makes it suitable for use in compact wall-mount charger designs.
  • Its epoxy coating provides insulation on the vertically mounted fuse body.

Schneider Electric XB5R Wireless Pushbutton Dual-Action Transmitter


Schneider Electric has expanded its wireless push button line with the dual-action transmitter that works as an electronic momentary switch allowing for more precise movements while still providing all the same benefits as the existing offer. In addition, the dual-action transmitter reduces the number of push buttons essential for remote control stations such as "jogging" a conveyor belt forward. The way the new dual-action transmitter works is it provides a two pulse signal from a single press and release. One signal is sent when the button is pressed and another is sent when the button is released.

Banner Engineering LC65 LED Dimmer Module


The LED Dimming Module by Banner Engineering allows an operator to control the intensity level of many of Banner’s LED lighting products. The high frequency modulation allows for precise intensity control and flicker-free illumination. The dimming controller paired with Banner’s LED lighting products helps further increase energy savings, helping reduce overall energy costs.

FEATURES

  • Ability to dim light at an operator station
  • Works with special models of the strip lights, heavy-duty lights, area lights, spot lights and work lights
  • Allows for control of multiple lights with one module
  • Ability to control intensity from zero to 100 percent to suit the level required for the application
  • Compact and easy to install
  • High-frequency PWM delivers flicker-free lighting


Turck Inclinometers for Class I, Div 2


TURCK announces its single and dual axis inclinometer is now approved for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D hazardous classified locations, allowing the device to function in environments where explosive gases, vapors and/or liquids may be present.

The single and dual axis inclinometers also have models available with ATEX approval for use within EX Zones 2 and 22. The TURCK single and dual axis inclinometers feature dual programmable analog outputs. TURCK offers a teach adapter which simplifies the programming of the inclinometer. With measuring ranges up to 360 degrees, the single and dual axis inclinometers provide flexible operation for use in a wide range of industries.

“We’ve taken the inclinometer’s capabilities one step further with Class I, Division 2 approval,” said Marty Cwach, Product Manager at TURCK. “Now, in addition to quality and precise measurement, our customers can meet extensive industry requirements with its use in hazardous environments.”

To meet the requirements of CID2, a physical protection guard must be used in conjunction with the inclinometer. This guard provides physical protection to the sensor and satisfies the requirement for a tool removable cover.

Equipped with MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) technology, the inclinometer solves unique feedback requirements by accurately measuring angular tilt in reference to gravity. TURCK inclinometers offer rugged, IP68-rated housing and reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to +70°C.

Banner Engineering WLS28-2 Dual-Color LED Strip Lights


Banner Engineering's WLS28-2 Dual-Color LED Strip Lights were developed for applications where more than one color is required.  Having two colors in one device makes the lights ideal for applications such as mobile vehicle illumination, where red light makes it easier for the operator's eyes to transition to dark areas at night.  Another example is machine status indication, where alternating colors illuminate equipment during an error condition.

FEATURES

  • Enhanced light quality which bright, densely-spaced LEDs.
  • Optional three-position switch for manual color selection.
  • Rugged, water-resistant IP69K models available.
  • Internal temperature control to protect the device in extreme conditions.
  • Cascadable models allow control of several lights with one power cable.
  • Low-profile, space-saving design.
  • Available in four lengths from 285 to 1130mm.
  • Optional snap clips for easy installation and repositioning.
