The new multi-voltage MasterPLUS interface relay from Finder is the latest addition to the popular 39 Series of fully featured interface relays that continue to push the boundaries of flexibility and space saving well beyond that of conventional relays.
Specifically, it has a multi-voltage capability to accept an input/coil voltage anywhere between 24 V and 240 V, be it AC or DC, all in the same unit. Additionally, it boasts the option of Push-in terminal technology as well as an optional output fuse module, with or without LED status indicator.
This product will offer benefits in applications such as emergency or standby systems with the need to function from either mains electricity, or a DC battery backup supply.

A new series of SIDACtor® Protection Thyristors in surface-mount DO-214AB packages from Littelfuse are designed to protect low-data-rate interfaces and outdoor data interfaces in general industrial applications.
The Pxxx0S3NLRP Series provides robust surge protection performance at up to 2.5kA, while maintaining much lower switching threshold (VS) and on-state voltage (VT) than traditional protection solutions like Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) technology. They also offer crowbarring power fault protection superior to the typical clamping device. Applications include protection for general industrial outdoor data interfaces, such as short loop interfaces (<10m) located at base station sites, and low-data-rate interfaces such as RS-232 or RS-423.
FEATURES
- Robust surge protection performance at up to 2.5kA while maintaining low switching threshold (VS) and on-state voltage (VT)
- Component properties do not degrade after multiple surge events within its rated limits
- Certified, environmentally friendly and suitable for worldwide usage
- Offers crowbarring power fault protection superior to that of the typical clamping device
- High surge protection and high-performance design extend equipment lifetime
- Helps line drivers comply with global standards
Phoenix Contact has expanded its product line of
robust HMIs and industrial PCs to include new wide-screen, multi-touch industrial monitors. The new
Basicline flat panel
monitors
(BL FPM)
are ideal for
operation in rough industrial environments with an
ambient temperature range of
-10°C to +60°C.
All monitors are equipped with a VGA, DVI-I, and
DisplayPort interface, facilitating easy integration into
new or existing systems. They are available in three
screen sizes: 39.6
cm (15.6''), 47
cm (18.5”), and
54.6
cm (21.5"). The projective-capacitive 10-point
touch
screen supports operation based on gesture
control. In addition to providing a scratch-resistant
glass surface, all monitors have an IP65 front rating
(IP20 back) and feature an integrated VESA 100 mounting pattern.

Turck has released an expansion to its Minifast offering to provide a more robust solution than currently is available on the market. The new Turck Minifast HD cordset offering also carries hazardous location approvals and is the first of its kind to offer an ATEX approved connector in a complete cable assembled package. Additionally, this product offering includes mating ATEX approved receptacles, junction boxes and lockfast guards. The new offering is an ideal solution for a variety of applications including gas turbines, skids, compressors, and shipboard applications.
While previous ATEX connector solutions typically come as complex and expensive field wireables, the Minifast HD offering provides the convenience and reliability of a full connector assembly at a much lower cost than current solutions. Additionally, these products utilize our Extremelife-60 cables with FT4 and IEC 60332-3-22 flame compliance to provide the ultimate solution for extreme applications.
“We heard from many of our process automation customers that were looking for a more reliable and cost-effective ATEX approved solution as it is becoming more and more of a demand for them,” said Jay Bartsias, Senior Product Manager for Connectivity. “Also, thanks to the connector’s fully potted metal body and its ability to bond with many different cable types, we can see potential for this solution to be used in a variety of applications.”
The Turck Minifast HD solution carries an ATEX Ex nA Category 3 approval as well as a US AEx nA Zone 2 approval. The Minifast HD offering also carries NEMA 1, 3, 4, and 6P and is IEC IP67 and IP68 rated.
FEATURES
- Provides ATEX approved connector in a complete cable assembled package
- Ideal solution for applications such as gas turbines, skids, compressors, and shipboards
- Full metal body and full potting with ability to bond with many different cable types
- Utilizes Extremelife-60 cables with FT4 and IEC 60332-3-22 flame compliance
- ATEX Ex nA Category 3 approval

E-T-A announces their new ESR10 Micro ISO solid state relays for 12VDC and 24VDC vehicle applications. The ESR10 is appropriate in applications where a standard electro-mechanical relay is not a viable option, such as:
- High frequency switching requirements
- Low drive signals from the APC or controller
- Silent switching requirements
- Applications where PWM (pulse width modulation) is used
The ESR10 Micro relays can easily replace an electro-mechanical relay because polarity of the control input does not matter. The solid state relays are suitable for switching resistive, inductive and capacitive or lamp loads. Unlike electro-mechanical relays they offer frequency control as an option.
FEATURES
- Silent: Solid state technology eliminates in-vehicle switching noise
- Fast: PWM compatible high frequency electronic switching
- Durable: Wear-free design, with no mechanical parts, resistant to vibration and dust
- Efficient: Requires a fraction of the control power required by standard electro-mechanical relays.
