Techno cable connector that protects against


water ingress is available from Hylec-APL Moisture blocking technology safeguards electrical and electronic equipment


Hylec-APL, the specialist supplier of electrical and electronic components, enclosures and rack systems, has announced the Techno TH392 waterproof connector with X-Dry technology. All cables are hydroscopic to some degree and will therefore absorb moisture that can collect inside the cable sheath, moving along its length and even crossing terminations in the cable. The X-Dry technology blocks moisture transmission across terminals, protecting electrical and electronic equipment.


The connectors have screw or piercing terminals


and can accept cables with diameters from 8 to 12mm; maximum cable cross section is 4mm2 for screw terminals and 0.5 to 1.5mm2 for the piercing clip terminals. Water and dust protection is to IP68 at 3bar pressure from 30 minutes to two hours. Rated current is 17.5A, 450V, and operating temperature from -40 to +125degC.


The contact screw terminals are brass nickel plated. The standard screws are steel zinc plated and the piercing screws are plated with steel zinc brass. There are three- and four-way versions. The four-way version takes up 400 by 160 by 205mm.

Don’t miss the Point, Rigol’s new SiFi Arbitrary Classic design tool suites. This continued


investment in design tools re-affirms Lattice’s commitment to providing customers with industry leading low power, small form factor, and low cost FPGAs


Waveform Generators. Telonic Launch Rigol’s new DG1000Z series of arbitrary waveform generators, the latest development in their family of fast, easy-to-use professional test instruments.


Rigol's DG1000Z series helps engineers to accomplish a wide range of testing applications by combining many functions in one easy-to-use instrument. Functions include arbitrary waveform generator, function generator, pulse generator, harmonic generator, and analogue/digital modulator.


The DG1000Z series also incorporates Rigol's Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) technology, ensuring that signals are delivered with stability, precision, purity and low distortion. These arbitrary waveform generators with innovative SiFi (Signal Fidelity) can generate arbitrary waveforms point-by-point and allow precisely adjustable sample rates and low jitter (200ps).


The arbitrary waveform memory is available with 8 Mpts (standard) and 16 Mpts (optional). Two full functional channels can be used as two independent generators offering ±1 ppm frequency stability and -125 dBc/Hz phase noise. The instruments have a built-in 8 orders harmonics generator and a built-in 7 digits/s full function frequency counter with 200MHz bandwidth.


Users can choose from up to 160 built-in waveforms with 14 bits vertical resolution and can benefit from a convenient arbitrary waveform editing interface. Versatile modulation types include AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, PSK and PWM. The instruments offer standard interfaces USB Host & Device and LAN (LXI Core Device 2011) and a 3.5“ TFT colour display. All models are supported by the Ultra Station PC software tool.


There are 2 models in the DG1000Z Series of Arbitrary Waveform Generators a 30 MHz and 60 MHz unit, with pricing starting at £369 on Telonic’s dedicated Rigol website www.rigol-uk.co.uk.
