New conformal coatings optimise reliability and device performance
Electrolube, a specialist supplier of electro-chemicals for the electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing industries, is set to feature new acrylic, polyurethane and UV cure conformal coatings at this year’s Southern Manufacturing. Designed to protect electronic
circuitry for optimum reliability and increased performance of devices, Electrolube’s new aromatic free polyurethane coating, PUCAF, is completely free from aromatic content and contains no isocyanates, making it safer and more user-friendly for the operator. The modified polyurethane conformal coating is tough, flexible and increases throughput due to a rapid touch dry time of less than 10 minutes. PUCAF fluoresces under UV light to aid inspection and is both certified and compliant with RoHS, MIL-1-46058C, DEF- STAN 59/47 and IPC-CC-830. Electrolube’s new UV cure conformal coating, UVCL, provides protection of electronic circuitry at exceptionally high speeds of application and cures within seconds upon exposure to UV light. The low viscosity, single component conformal coating is suitable for high throughput production processes and significantly reduces the time taken to complete the conformal coating step. UVCL has been designed for automated processes using selective spray technology, however, other spraying techniques and touch-up application via brush may also be employed. UVCL is the next generation of VOC-free coating and its low viscosity allows the application of relatively thin films without the need for dilution. The non-flammable, flexible

coating provides moisture and chemical resistance at minimal cost and fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection. The aromatic free acrylic coating, AFA, is a flexible and transparent acrylic conformal coating that complies with RoHS, Military and IPC standards and has been formulated to meet many of today’s commercial applications. Designed for high protection of electronic circuitry and operator safety, the AFA coating is free from aromatic solvents such as Toluene and Xylene and contains no isocyanates, which means it can be soldered through without fear of highly toxic gases being produced. AFA also fluoresces under UV light to facilitate inspection and provides excellent mechanical and dielectric properties. As a manufacturer of specialist chemical
products, Electrolube has recently been awarded the ISO 14001 for its Environmental Management System and OHSAS 18001 for Occupational Health and Safety.

REO to showcase energy saving and power quality expertise
REO will demonstrate its expertise in manufacturing high efficiency power quality technology, contributing to significant energy savings, showcasing products including the CNW933 Sinewave filter, the energy saving CNW903 choke and the long life CNW961 Sinusoidal filter Plus++. REO's products meet the needs of drive and motor manufacturers as well as systems integrators and control panel manufacturers. REO's stand will also feature a
demonstration of an optimised drive installation.
REO's CNW933 sinewave filters are used to eliminate problems arising from long cable runs between an inverter drive and motor, by reducing dV/dt peak voltages to a benign level. Pulse width modulation produces asymmetric voltage and current wave forms, which the filter can convert back to an almost pure sine wave. This reduces radio frequency interference and means that shielded cables are no longer needed. Motor noise, temperature and mechanical stresses are also reduced. Three phase rectified power stages such as those used in variable speed drives, gain power quality and energy saving benefits by using the CNW903 three-phase high current line reactor.
One of the key features is that harmonic
currents and voltage distortion on the main line is minimised. This allows compliance standards to be met including permission for connection to the supply. Damage from

surges is also reduced whilst providing ride- through storage during voltage sags. This increased stability results in reduced electricity consumption and minimised costs. The CNW961 sinus plus++ suppresses
interference on both the line cables to the motor and also to the earth conductors. This helps achieve REO's objective of delivering a longer product life and better return on investment to manufacturers in the drives, motors and controls sector. By feeding incurring bearing currents into the DC-link, the CNW961 eliminates any potential damage to the mechanics. This increases the longevity of the product, meaning that applications including liquid treatment and heat pumps for example, can benefit from continuous power and long term reliability.

Components in Electronics
Binder UK is showing a wide range of circular connectors at Southern Manufacturing and will feature the new series 770 NCC that is IP67 unmated. Originally designed for medical equipment this new connector system is designed so that the contacts are protected to IP67 when not connected without the need of a protective cap. This makes it suitable for all types of portable and hand-held measuring equipment, control devices and other applications where it is an advantage to make rapid set-up changes. The efficiency of the design achieves a product life in excess of 5,000 mating cycles.
Series 770 is a panel-mount receptacle in which the electrical contacts are protected from water, dust and foreign particles by a spring-mounted lid when unmated. When the cable plug is mated the contact cover is
pushed inside the receptacle body, the contacts engage and the connector is locked with a quarter turn of a bayonet-locking collar. Also featured will be the Binder 620 and 720 series of low cost, snap-in IP67 circular connectors. These simple, all-plastic, modular connectors are lightweight and compact. Internal seals provide protection to IP67 with excellent electrical characteristics. The unique snap-in mating provides an extremely convenient and safe connect and disconnect action. Samples will be available free of charge for product evaluation.
