Behind the lens of the Series 56 pushbutton is a snap-action switching system that protects itself from damage. It guarantees that a stable force is always applied to the switch unit independent of the one exerted on the lens. Even if the pushbutton is struck hard, the switching unit is protected. EAO's technology out-classes many other products on the market because it avoids the problem of ‘n...

CEFEM offers change-over switches with visible cut off. The visible cut off allows to check at one glance the physical position of contacts, and hence the switch, without any doubt. COVISYS are made by combining mechanically 2 switches from our VYSIS range. They can be manual or motorized. Specifications are as follows: • From 32 to 3150A • 3 to 4 poles • 3-point lockable handle ...

Their design incorporates "sleeves" connections "male-female" that connect without any accessories between straight sections neither splice plates or bolts ... This allows the electrical contractor to save valuable time. The system is also clever in order to prevent falls "lost" when cutting a length to adapt a fitting (bends, tees...). Because each fitting comes with two "male-connectors" in ...

The Linemaster Lektro-Lok foot switch is designed with a heavy steel painted housing built for ease of use and long life. This rocker style switch has a mechanical interlock that prevents both circuits from being operated at the same time. A Twin model is available to meet nearly all medical and light duty applications. The Lektro-Lok is used for numerous applications to operate equipment such...

R. STAHL's new, extremely compact type 9418 terminating resistor is suitable for explosion-protected FF H1 and Profibus PA installations. Two models for use in Zone 1 and Zone 21 are available: an Ex i terminator for intrinsically safe/FISCO fieldbus installations, and an Ex m model for power trunks that are not intrinsically safe combined with e.g. fieldbus barriers. Designed to fit in M20 cable g...

Edac's 520 Series cable connectors offer an innovative wiring solution. Utilising the tried and tested Edacon gold plated Hemaphroditic contacts, normally reserved for hi-rel applications, only one housing style is required reducing inventory overheads. The four gas-tight mating surfaces provide a top quality yet highly cost-effective interconnect product. Various contact types including PC-board ...

The well established use of hermaphroditic contacts (where male and female contacts are identical) is a tried and tested contact system which offers both low contact resistance, high current and high reliability and flexibility in manufacture, long known to engineers. The 516 series from Edac includes a wide range of compact connectors from 20 to 120 way. Using this connector system means that m...

Digital protective relay devices are often used as protective relays (trip relays for breaker) to detect the breakdown in the power line and the distribution line correctly, and to separate the breakdown section from an active system quickly. Features of the BESTACT relays 1) Quick operating time; 3ms or less to help isolate the breakdown section. 2) Large contact closing capacity; 10.000...

A company manufacturing hygienic products asked APEM for a KR rocker switch with a pure white colour. Pure white is often associated by end-users with cleanness. A new colour (option 7/1) was created, to complement the existing ivory colour (option 7). The customer also required symbols with a gradation of blue. APEM, as a specialist in customized products, took up the challenge and used a pa...
