Banner Engineering EZ-LIGHT K90 Large Multicolor Indicators


The K90 family of indicators by Banner Engineering is rugged, highly uniform and very bright.  These indicators can withstand high levels of impact as well as washdown with an IP67 enclosure rating.  The key differences between the K90L and K90TL are highlighted below:

K90L - Available in 1- to 5-color models.  Only one color can be activated at a time.  All models include a flashing input wire that will trigger any active color to flash at a rate of 1.6 Hz.

K90TL - Meant for use when there is a possibility of more than one color being activated at a time.  When more than one color is activated, the indicators will alternate between all active colors at a rate of 1 Hz.  Models are available with two to five colors in one device.


FEATURES

  • Bright, uniform indicator light
  • Models are available with up to five colors in one device
  • Rugged IP67-rated design
  • 12 to 30VDC operation

Phoenix Contact PTPOWER 95 Push-In Terminal Blocks for High Power


Phoenix Contact introduces a new line of push-in spring technology terminal blocks for high power applications. Screw-type connections have long dominated larger wire terminations, because a suitable spring version was not available. More customers have requested a spring-type version for the added benefits it offers, including a faster, reliable termination, as well as consistent connection technology among all connections within their cabinet. PTPOWER fulfills these requirements with a fast, safe and reliable connection for wires up to 4/0 AWG.

These high-power blocks have similar accessories and design as their smaller counterparts in the CLIPLINE Complete line, including marking and testing adaptors.

The PTPOWER 95 is the first in a series of high-power spring terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact featuring Power Turn technology. This is a short lever movement to open and close the termination area. When the termination area is opened, the springs are now loose and not kinetically charged, achieving an extra level of safety. This feature makes the PTPOWER 95 the only finger-safe spring terminal block for these larger conductors. In addition to this quick and safe Power Turn feature, Phoenix Contact's unique push-in capabilities allow direct wire termination. This is the world’s fastest way to connect wires greater than 2 AWG. With the terminal block in the “closed” position, the user simply pushes a wire in until it stops, for the same reliable connection.

All PTPOWER terminal blocks are also side entry for optimum large conductor routing without the need to accommodate a bending radius. The PTPOWER 95 has multiple accessories for maximum flexibility. These include two- and three-position bridges, individual 2.3mm test point with optional 4mm test point, DIN rail or panel options, and the AGK 10-PTPOWER pick-off terminal, which allows up to four 6 AWG wires added to each block . There are 17 different versions, including blocks prebuilt with three to five positions, black/yellow functional earth (FE) and potential earth (PE) versions.

PTPOWER 95 is rated per UL for 230A at 1000V using 4 to 4/0 AWG wire sizes.

Newport Electronics zED-H2 High Power Wireless Sensor/Transmitter System


The rugged high-performance, high power NEWPORT® zSeries wireless sensor/transmitter system provides Web-based monitoring of Analog Voltage and Current, Temperature, Humidity, and Barometric Pressure.

The radio is a high power IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transmitter operating at 2.4 GHz designed to transmit over greater distances and through more obstructions than the standard transmitter.

These wireless sensors transmit 1000m (3280') - without obstructions or interferences - to a zCDR coordinator or wi8/wiDR meter-controller. The coordinators and controllers connect directly to an Ethernet network and the Internet and serve active Web Pages to display and chart the data.

You can monitor and record analog voltage and current, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure over an Ethernet network or the Internet without any special software - just your Web Browser.

These zSeries wireless sensors are designed for demanding industrial applications indoors and harsh outdoor environments. The electronics are protected in a rugged weatherproof polycarbonate NEMA 4 (IP65) rated housing. The rugged industrial sensors are supplied with 3m (10') of cable.


FEATURES

  • Wireless transmitters available with external probes appropriate for an almost unlimited variety of industrial and commercial applications.
  • Triggers an alarm if variables go above or below a set point you determine, sent via e-mail or text message.
  • Award winning iServer technology with an embedded web server requires no special software.
  • Serves active web pages to display real time readings and charts.
  • Data can be logged in standard data formats readable in Excel or Visual Basic.

Banner Engineering XS26-2 Expandable Safety Controller


The XS26-2 and associated expansion modules continue Banner Engineering's development of a new safety controller platform that began with the SC26-2.  With up to eight I/O expansion modules, the XS26-2 platform allows you to address larger scale machines.  The XS26-2 is designed to be easy to use, flexible and efficient.


FEATURES

  • Allows up to eight expansion modules
  • Configuration software free of charge
  • Real-time live display feedback
  • Intuitive functional diagram configuration: logic function blocks including AND, OR, NAND, NOR, SR Flip-Flop, RS Flip-Flop
  • Several pre-configured safety function blocks and configurable safety input attributes
  • Controller and input modules allow safety inputs to be converted to status outputs for efficient terminal use
  • PNP safety outputs can be split into two single channel status or safety outputs for up to Category 3, PL d per ISO 13849-1
  • 64 virtual outputs (Ethernet version only)


Phoenix Contact HEAVYCON EVO EMC Heavy-Duty Rectangular Connectors


The HEAVYCON EVO heavy-duty connector line from Phoenix Contact now includes the metal EVO-EMC version. With its patented, innovative bayonet locking gland, the HEAVYCON EVO-EMC provides the same inventory cost-reducing advantage as the HEAVYCON EVO plastic.

Designed for applications that require shielding, the HEAVYCON EVO EMC is compatible with similar B-series connectors from Phoenix Contact and similar models from other manufacturers. Like the HEAVYCON EVO plastic, HEAVYCON EVO EMC accepts both the fixed position inserts and the modular inserts. 

Designed for harsh environments, HEAVYCON EVO EMC is manufactured from salt-water-resistant aluminum and meets the requirements of IP66 and NEMA 4/4x/12.

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.
