Electrolube Offers Conformal Coatings And Cleaners

Electrolube will showcase high-performance chemical products for the electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing industries to the Asian market at Globaltronics in Singapore this September. The company will introduce a number of new ranges, including the environmentally-friendly non-VOC (volatile organic compound) conformal coating range, which is designed to meet the high performance of solvent-based coatings with minimal changes to processing parameters.

Also on display will be the fast-drying DCA-FD, a modified silicone conformal coating, which offers increased solid content, giving 35 per cent greater coverage per litre, resulting in waste and cost savings per substrate. The Safewash Total aqueous cleaning product will also be featured. Safewash is said to provide superior cleaning performance to meet military and commercial standards. Safewash Total is a specially formulated blend of non-flammable solvents, which form a micro-emulsion when mixed with water.

Designed for cleaning printed circuit boards, it is ideal for the removal of leaded, lead-free and no-clean flux residues. The cleaner is also suitable for the removal of pastes and adhesives from screens, stencils, boards and accessories as well as general degreasing applications. It is a low-foam cleaner suitable for use in dishwasher and in-line pressure systems, as well as ultrasonic and spray-under-immersion applications. Electrolube said the product provides good cleaning performance in a variety of applications, even at low temperatures, and it has the versatility to allow cleaning using an array of different equipment and methods.

Being surfactant free, it is easy to rinse, the company added. In addition it offers low toxicity, VOC, odour and foam, making it environmentally- and user-friendly.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
