Optimizing enclosures for extreme operating environments
Every industrial market segment employs enclosures, extending from power and energy, oil and gas, and water and wastewater to manufacturing, communications, and transportation. Enclosures’ primary role is to protect vital components and devices from external environmental hazards and, in turn, protect imperative — and often expensive — connected equipment, such as automated manufacturing, robotic, pumping,…
AutomationDirect adds Comepi SB series polycarbonate control stations
AutomationDirect has added Comepi SB series pre-assembled polycarbonate control stations, which offer emergency stop and start/stop combo options. The emergency stop control stations include one red mushroom head twist-to-release pushbutton with various contact configurations. Models with guards that are padlockable and models with M12 quick-disconnects are available. The start/stop combo control stations offer various pushbutton,…
SMD jumpers handle overload currents up to 158 A for power applicatio
Electronic circuits use zero-ohm jumpers to simplify routing, manufacturability, testing, and enable various design options. Jumpers with higher current capability allow for a smaller jumper chip to be used, which can reduce the space needed for a design. Traditional thick film jumpers handle up to 3 amps, while high-current versions max out at 10 amps. […]
