Light the Way with the Innovative New C.K Inspection Lights
nVent/Schroff Card-Lok High Clamp Force PCB Retainers available from Foremost
oremost Electronics, the engineering-led Essex based importer and specialist distributor of electromechanical components, can now supply the nVent/Schroff Card-Lok range of innovative high thermal performance and high clamp force PCB retainers for use in rugged environments. The new Card-Lok retainers have been designed to be drop-in replacements for most applications currently using standard Card-Loks and provide on average more than 3X the amount of clamp force compared to similarly sized Card-Loks. Standard COTS and modified Card-Loks are available to meet a wide arrange of requirements and include designs for second level maintenance including torque limiting and tool- less card locks. With their small and lightweight designs typical applications include industrial systems, defence, space flight, communications, computers and intelligence surveillance. As more systems are being exposed to increased shock and vibration sufficient printed circuit board retention is critical

New configurator increases control and speed of specification for industrial enclosures Spelsberg’s GEOS industrial enclosure is made for the task and is
sufficiently durable for a wide range of environments and applications. As a result, there’s an array of potential uses, each requiring their own specification and options. While Spelsberg’s engineers are always available to talk customers through a specification, we still wanted to offer the customer the tools that would enable them to specify their own enclosure quickly. The GEOS enclosure configurator is aimed at specifiers and designers who know what they are looking for in an enclosure and want to find the best match quickly. The first stage of the configurator, available on the Spelsberg website, includes selection of either enclosure or cabinet, followed by dimensions. The configurator then allows you to select all available accessory types, from hinge doors, to partition walls to mounting plates. To check the design, the configurator also provides a 360-degree view with zoom across three dimensions. The configurator will also price the enclosure and accessories for the order to then be sent directly to Spelsberg. The configurator also features an optional configuration assistant which takes the user through steps to ensure that all possible considerations of design, from door opening to condensation, have been covered. This means that the customer, whatever their level of experience, can use the configurator to control their design. The configurator is the same tool as that used by Spelsberg’s
engineers on a daily basis to design the layout of GEOS enclosures. The GEOS enclosures themselves are constructed from high strength
I
polycarbonate to ensure durability. This means that GEOS has an IK09 impact rating - one of the highest industrial ratings available – and offers up to IP67 ingress protection.
ndustrial enclosures need to be rugged, but they also have to be flexible enough to create the right design for the application’s requirements. With a wide range of options available for the GEOS industrial enclosure range, Spelsberg’s new configurator now makes specification and selection a faster, easier task. Chris Lloyd, Managing Director Spelsberg UK, explains the advantages of the GEOS enclosure configurator. It’s vital that industrial enclosures are sufficiently robust to protect the often
sensitive components secured within; which are typically electrical in nature. Industrial and outdoor environments present arduous conditions, from the potential for a high degree of ingress and fluctuations in temperature, to the challenges of varying weather or possibility of impact.

Should further customisation of the enclosure or cabinet be required, such as additional holes for cable entry, Spelsberg UK can carry out precision CNC machining. The on-site CNC machining service ensures that Spelsberg provides accountability through customization and reduces the time and cost of contracting a third-party machinist.
