Weald Electronics announces the availability of the LMG Heavy Duty range of circular connectors. Available from Lane Electronics, the connectors are designed for use in harsh or hazardous environments such as geophysical, mining, marine and petrochemical applications and other heavy industrial applications where key priorities are high resistance to vibration and the ingress of liquids, combined with very rugged construction.

The new USL 0603 low-current chip fuse from SCHURTER combines an extended creepage distance of 1.1 mm, a fast tripping characteristic and an extended operating temperature range up to 150 degC - meeting the highest requirements in ATEX-certified systems, medical technology, and industrial sensor applications. Thanks to its low voltage drop, it is also ideally suited for energy-efficient, battery-operated designs.

PULS offers a wide range of efficient and reliable DC:DC converters which provide regulated DC output voltages of 12 V, 24 V or 48 V from a wide range of DC inputs.

Norstat now offers the DUO-BOX, a durable plastic enclosure from Multi-Box that has two functional areas which allow separation of different components while still being maintained in the same enclosure.

Wurth Elektronik expands its switch program. The popular SMT-mountable short-travel push-button switches are now joined by a new size version: the WS-TASV SMT Tact Switch 4.5x3.2 mm.

Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Airflex ACB-F3 Failsafe Caliper Brake. The spring-applied, hydraulically released brake is engineered for optimal safety, durability, and serviceability.

In the production of solid-to-viscous materials such as gelatin, syrup and plastic, the mass is continuously compressed under pressure in extruders and extruded as a strand. During this process, the material must not heat up too much, otherwise it will burn, which would result in undesirable discolouration. For this reason, colour sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used to precisely measure the colour of the extruded materials, therefore maximising product quality.

Norstat now offers the O-TYPE Safety Switch from Mechan Controls. Unique codes combined with RFID technology that meets the requirements for type 4 applications.

UNIDESK sloping-front terminal enclosures from METCASE are now available in three standard colours: black (RAL 9005), light grey (RAL 7035) and new traffic white (RAL 9016). Custom colours are also available.

When an engineering team requires an industrial enclosure, dedicated expertise will optimise the design. Expert guidance in specification from the outset, through to customisation and bespoke development, will achieve the most effective enclosures to support the wider application long term, as Chris Lloyd, Managing Director at Spelsberg UK, explains.
