The Laminex EMI/RFI Shielding Tape and Flat Conductor
With no adhesive layer, the Laminex EMI/RFI shielding Tape and Flat Conductor windings offers three distinct advantages over its competition. It is thinner overall for a given dielectric strength, still using a thicker conductor; customers can solder lead wires to the base metal right through the insulation film; and, customers’ cutters and taping machines never […]
Turck 24 V-Switching Power Supplies
A new family of power supplies expands the existing family of power supplies. Designed to efficiently convert ac to dc, these 24 V dc power supplies provide safety extra-low voltage (SELV),, according to EN 60950, and are suitable for the 24 V supply of according equipment and interface modules of the Turck series IM, IMS […]
Weidmuller’s PRO Series Redundancy Models
PRO-M switch mode power supplies have been expanded to include two (2) new redundancy modules: A capacity module and a relay module. These modules increase power availability and machine up time cost effectively, enabling load sharing and preventative current feedback. The modules have 20A or 40A output current, and an integrated voltage relay for monitoring […]
