How to easily install distribution enclosures


COTS Plus 2mm Aurora Connector Series


Reduces MTBF while increasing resistance to fretting


most demanding applications has announced the launch of its high performance Aurora Series, a COTS Plus 2mm hard metric connector for Compact PCI applications.


S This innovative connector range


delivers a broad set of features and benefits to customers by addressing their high-reliability connectivity needs. Most notably,


the Aurora Series features


enhanced gold plating with 1.27m coverage on contact mating surfaces. This gold thickness provides significant durability, improved contact resistance stability (25% better than COTS after test cycle) and high resistance to fretting. This ultimately lowers total system cost by increasing Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) by approximately 40%.

miths Connectors, a world-leading provider of high-performance interconnect solutions for the


control and IT infrastructure, has announced further improvements to its ISV distribution enclosure - part of the Ri4Power range. It has upgraded the installation kit allowing the ISV modules to be integrated faster and more easily into the TS 8 and SE 8 enclosure systems, and into the AE compact enclosure. The new improved version of the installation kit is


R


smaller in size so it can be stored and transported more easily, and they can also be used to install other stainless steel enclosures of the same size, making it readily usable in difficult or testing environmental conditions. The primary component within Rittal’s ISV installation


kit is the distributor framework’s removable support frame. This frame means every element within the enclosure can be removed and work on the wiring can be easily and ergonomically performed outside the enclosure. Once the wiring is completed, the support frame with


all its devices is easily fitted and firmly bolted in place. Although Rittal has dispensed with the use of obstructive profile stays, there is still plenty of available space to install further devices and equipment as required. The Rittal ISV distribution enclosure design is based on the TS 8 and SE 8 enclosure series and on


the AE enclosure for wall-mounted distributors. The distributor is configured with electrical equipment, including circuit breakers, fuses and terminals with ISV modules. The ISV modules come in a range of different options, depending on the equipment to be installed or the function needed. Installation kits fasten the support frame of the ISV modules into different enclosure systems. A


custom-designed contact hazard protection frame is included as part of the package, and this provides protection between the covers of the ISV modules and the enclosure frame.

Switchtec’s Surge Protection brochure D


u www.rittal.co.uk


ittal, a leading global provider of solutions for industrial enclosures, power distribution, climate


istributor Switchtec has issued a brochure showcasing surge protection devices from a world leader in the field, Citel. As well as providing


technical specifications of some of the most popular surge protection devices from Citel, the six page, full colour brochure includes useful information on the risks of electrical surges, the benefits of using SPDs and a short guide ‘Does my installation need an SPD?’ For ease of selection and clarity of ordering the brochure shows a colour photo of each product along with a detailed description, its order code, product dimensions, technical specifications and prices. Surge protection Devices (SPD) assist in the protection of electrical and electronic equipment against transients, originating from lightning and switching sources. These transients can cause damage ranging from the premature ageing to the complete destruction of equipment within the entire


electrical installation. Products such as LED lighting, data servers, industrial equipment, PV inverters and PLCs are critical to business activity and any down time or product replacement can be costly. Protecting this equipment using by an SPD is essential for any business.

Enclosures From ROLEC ROLEC has launched its new technoPLUS IP66 plastic enclosures range


which is manufactured from UV-stable ASA LURAN so it does not degrade in sunlight.The range features a unique optional mast/pole attachment – enabling it to be installed quickly and easily on lampposts, poles or communications masts. Each enclosure is pre-moulded with screw ports at the rear for fitting the mast attachment so no machining is needed.Hinged lid trims hide all the mounting and fixing screws for added security and superior weather protection. The lid is recessed to enable accurate assembly of a membrane keypad or label. Retaining straps hold the lid in place. The enclosure can be installed with the lid closed, helping to protect any fragile electronics inside. Five standard sizes are available ranging from 130 x 90 x 70 mm to 270 x 170 x 90 mm. All models are fully insulated (VDE 0100).

PicoCOMA9X Computer on Module with NXP i.MX 6 SoloX Processor


P


icoCOMA9X is the latest member of the F&S form factor PicoCOMfamily All members of the


PicoCOM product family are pin compatible and have a robust 80-pole plug connector. At a size of 40x50mm only, PicoCOMA9X can offer


the


performance of Cortex®-A9-1GHz at a low price. The processor is an NXP i.MX 6SoloX (ARM® Cortex®-A9 and M4). SoloX is the second processor in NXP¹s portfolio which supports asymmetric multiprocessing. Both cores (ARM® Cortex®-A9 and -M4) are connected to the internal bus fabric and have the possibility to access all peripherals. The advantages of the M4 core are real-time processing and the interfaces are available immediately after power on. The PicoCOMA9X offers up to 512MB DDR3 RAM, 1GB SLC NAND Flash and 32GB eMMC, as well as an SD-Card slot interface. Other interfaces are 2x IEEE 1588 Ethernet, 1x USB Host/1x Device, 2x CAN, I2C, SPI, 3x UART, Audio (Line In/Out) and Digital I/O.An 16/18bit RGB interface is available for connecting displays; a resistive touch panel interface is available as well. A capacitive touch controller can be connected via the I2C interface.
