High-Power PCB Terminal Block
A
vailable from Switchtec, Euroclamp's MVP35 high-power PCB terminal block is suitable for
photovoltaic applications and for high-voltage or high-amperage applications with ratings of 1,000V at 125A. Aimed at OEMs, CEMs, electronic manufacturers, PCB manufacturers and assemblers, the photovoltaic industry and those in building and automation, the terminals are suitable for use in photovoltaic products, high-voltage and high- current applications and any application that needs or uses large cables. With the general move towards fully integrated PCB assemblies, manufacturers are requiring larger PCB terminal blocks for applications such as photovoltaic, which, owing to their nature, require terminal blocks capable of handling high voltages and high currents. Euroclamp designed the MVP35 terminal block to fulfil this requirement. The MVP35 is designed to accept 35mm2 (2AWG) stranded or rigid (solid) cable, or 2 x 10mm2 (2x8AWG) cables. The device has two basic designs: the standard MVP35 PCB version (flangeless model) or the MVP35K model that has two flanges for surface mounting to the PCB with screws.

x 400mm. This new size was developed in response to customer demand and complements the other sizes available. The base is the same standard depth of 132mm but like the rest of the range alternative depths can be achieved using the 55mm extension frames. The smallest box available is 200 x 200mm and sizes increase in multiples of 100mm up to the largest size of 600 x 400mm. The base is available in ABS or polycarbonate with plain sides or with metric knockouts and the lid can be grey or transparent. There are many accessories to choose from including extension frames, mounting plates, DIN rail, hinges and catches. As with all Ensto enclosures a complete customisation service is available so that any box can be tailored to your exact requirement.

urrelektronik Cube20 is a fieldbus I/O station with modular expandability. It can be operated combined with
the award winning Cube67 or directly via various fieldbus. Due to the compact design of the modules, with up to 32 inputs and outputs, the system provides high channel density in a very small space (Up to 488 I/Os on just 90 centimeters of DIN rail, ensuring flexibility). All Cube20 modules are equipped with maintenance-free, coded plug terminals for typical control cabinet 1-wire connectivity. Cube20 is the next step in economical installation and maintenance. It replaces the numerous individual components in previous control cabinet solutions with only a few modules, making installation easier. This saves costs and offers advantages not only in installation but also with purchasing, inventory, and logistics.

New Flexible Conduit Product and Solutions Guide
F
lexible conduit manufacturer, Flexicon has made it easier to specify cable protection with its new product and solutions
guide. It includes more than 500 new products. Says Colin Legg, marketing manager for Flexicon: “Cable protection selection is often critical. A number of factors need considering when specifying flexible conduit. These might include IP ratings, pull off characteristics, weight and corrosion resistance, low fire hazard, compression strength,
abrasion resistance and fatigue life.” To assist with specification, the new guide includes easy to use selection guides for both non-metallic and metallic flexible conduit systems.
It helps the engineer
choose from 47 different systems. The new 100-page guide also contains technical advice covering ingress protection, low fire hazard performance, cutting and assembly and resistance to different chemicals. The guide is available in print or online via the company’s website.

temperatures. To meet this challenge, Master Bond has successfully formulated a high-temperature resistant, two-part epoxy adhesive system called EP45HT. This product has been extensively tested and is capable of withstanding long-term exposures at temperatures as high as 400-450°F. Furthermore, it can successfully withstand shorter exposures up to 500-550°F. It also offers a very high glass transition temperature and excellent long-term strength retention at 450°F. Master Bond offers a wide variety of one and two component epoxy systems for adhesive, sealing and coating applications. Special grades are electrically conductive,
thermally
conductive/electrically insulative, optically clear, NASA low outgassing approved and mechanical shock
resistant. Master Bond technical
representatives provide personal one-on-one support and have years of experience solving complex manufacturing problems and working with customers throughout the design and prototype process.
