RJ45 Cable Assembly Suits Sensor Applications

Yamaichi Electronics has launched the Y-ConRJ45 converter cable, a RJ45 cable assembly that is equipped with M8/M12 circular connectors on the other end of the cable for industrial use. The cable assembly is said to be suitable for the connection of sensor applications in industrial Ethernet environments. The high-quality Y-ConRJ45 cable assembly series has been extended to the mechanical engineering sector as well as for industrial and factory automation use.

As a converter cable it allows simple cabling from Industrial Ethernet to sensors, actuators and encoders, whose wiring is realised by M8/M12 circular connectors. The RJ45 interface is realised with the current Y-Con connector range. They have up to eight signal contacts, can include two additional power contacts (2.1A at 70C) and can be equipped with covers from IP20 to IP69K protection. For the M8/M12 interfaces there is a variety of cable and panel-mount connectors available, in male and female, 90deg or 180deg, coded or uncoded version (A, B or D code).

All moulded M8/M12 cable versions benefit from a 360deg shielding, which is added prior to the moulding with high-quality PUR material. Therefore they ensure optimum EMI characteristics. The metal screw has an audible closure ratchet and is equipped with a vibration-resistant locking to ensure the interface does not open during operation. All mating connectors available on the market (also those with Quick-Lock) are compatible with the series.

Jacks and plugs are offered in three, four, five or eight-pin versions. The Y-ConRJ45 as well as the M8 or M12 connectors offer the necessary protection against environmental influences according to the protection classes IP67 or IP20 (Y-Con also IP69K and IP68). Reliable covers made of high-quality materials such as PBT polymer or metallic zinc die-castings are standard features of the series.

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.
