December, 2011 Weidmuller Intros Transient Protection


Richmond, VA — Weidmuller is adding 80 VSSC models to its Varitector range, giving customers new low-cost, high-density options, for lightning and other transient pro- tection for control equipment. Recently awarded UL (497B) approvals, the VSSC range com- pletes the Varitector surge product offering for signaling, which includes


distribution applications, to complete an extensive DIN-rail mounted surge protection offering for industrial installations. Both ranges provide a combina-


tion of wire-to-ground and wire-to- wire protection, include high quality terminations for field connections, and also make a ground path via the (grounded) DIN-rail. A combination


VSSC6 (6-pole) models, which show when a replacement module is need- ed. Other features include colored product marking to help users quick- ly identify different working voltages between modules mounted together, models for protecting floating signals


and models with integral disconnects


to make testing easy. Contact: Weidmuller, 821

Solvent-Free 2-Part Silicone from Nusil


Carpinteria, CA — NuSil Technology LLC has unveiled R-2188, a solvent- free, two-part, translucent silicone system. R-2188 can be used as a com- pliant, high-strength adhesive and encapsulant in power electronics applications specifically requiring a highly insula- tive material. The new formula-

They protect analog current and voltage loops, DC and AC status signals, and a wide variety of serial interface and tele- phone network installations. A status monitoring option

Due to its high dielectric strength, it can withstand medium and high voltage; ther- mal and mechanical stress; and long, elevated operating temperatures. R-2188 has a variable cure


schedule, low shrinkage, and is easi- ly repairable. It is effective in pot- ting, encapsulating and coating mod- ules, relays, power supplies, delay


lines or complete electronic units, as well as a dip-coating for encapsulat- ing components and printed circuit boards. A low-viscosity elastomer with a long work time, R-2188 is also suitable for automatic dispensing.
