June, 2018 Launches Conductive Ink


Ayer, MA — Creative Materials has introduced its 127-50, a new electri- cally conductive/resistive hydro-ac- tive ink and coating. The con- ductivity of the material is variable, depending on the hu- midity in the environment. Its conductivity increases as the humidity increases. Typical applications in-


clude printing electronic mois- ture-sensing elements, printed water-level monitoring, selec- tive grounding, and the moni- toring of sweat in wearable de- vices, such as those for fitness prod- ucts. The material can be used with the company’s 127-48D dielectric ink and 127-48LR carbon ink in the de- sign of a complete flexible moisture- sensing device. Used in combination with the


127-48 series products, 127-50 is ma- chine-washable. The material can be printed by various methods, includ-


ing screen printing, syringe dispens- ing, dipping, and spraying. Creative Materials designs, de-

SCHURTER Intros Compact DIN Rail Filter


Santa Rosa, CA —SCHURTER’s new FPBB RAIL is a slim, double-stage, single-phase filter, measuring only 1 in. (25 mm) in width. The space-sav- ing design integrates an optional fuseholder or circuit breaker. An over-voltage varistor is available in all three variations. Space is often very limited, par-


ticularly in control cabinets for in- dustrial machinery. Densely populat- ed interference-generating compo- nents, such as switching power sup- plies or inverters, can further compli- cate design. The new FPBB RAIL two-stage filter is designed to offer high EMI attenuation in an ultra- slim, space-saving housing. Typical areas of application for


the FPBB RAIL include industrial or machine controls, where control cabi- nets can be downsized and relocated. The powerful, slim filters are also suit-


able for medical equipment, according to IEC/UL 60601-1 and ICT equip- ment according to IEC/UL 60950. The FPBB RAIL is designed for


currents from 1 to 16A with a maxi- mum of 125/250 VAC and 250 VDC according to IEC and UL/CSA stan- dards. The series is ENEC and cURus approved. The filter version can be used over a wide temperature range from –40 to +212°F (–40 to +100°C). Versions with fuseholder and overvoltage protection operate over a temperature range of –40 to +185°F (–40 to +85°C), while those with a circuit breaker are rated for a


range of +23 to +140°F (–5 to 60°C). Contact: SCHURTER, Inc., 447

Shimadzu Releases Precision Refractometer


Columbia, MD — Shimadzu Corpora- tion has introduced its KPR-300 Kalnew, a high-accuracy, multi-wave- length, digital refractometer, which uses the V-block method to measure optical materials. This instru- ment can measure the refractive indices of transparent samples for optical applications, including lenses and prisms, with accura- cies down to ±4 x 10-5. The refractometer was de-


veloped for use in quality control applications during the mass pro- duction of glass and lenses, espe- cially molded lenses. The instrument is equipped


with spectral lamps, and can perform automatic refractive index measure- ments and automatic calculations of Abbe numbers at three wavelengths, the d-line (587.6 nm), C-line (656.3 nm), and F-line (486.1 nm), making it highly practical. A wide range of refractive index measurements can be accommodated by replacing the sample holder V-block prism. The software is designed to be

intuitive. With a single click, the user can switch the lamp lit and measurement wavelength, calculate the refractive index, and calculate the Abbe number.


KPR-300 Kalnew precision refractometer.


With the V-block method, sam-


ples finished to a 90° angle are meas- ured. The finished surface of the sample does not require the accuracy of general spectrometer prisms, and a grinding finish is enough instead of polishing, so sample preparation is


not time consuming. Contact: Shimadzu Scientific In- struments, Inc., 7102 Riverwood
