Connectors Feature Secure Push-Pull Locking System

Quadrant Connections is offering connectors from Damar and Hagen that are suitable for use in high-vibration and high-shock conditions, such as in outside broadcast vehicles and similar applications. The new connectors are the same size as, and are plug compatible with, common BNC sockets, yet they have a fast and secure push-pull locking system. Standard BNC RF connectors have a bayonet coupling, and these can be problematic in applications where they need to be connected frequently or where access is difficult.

The push-pull design of the Damar and Hagen BNC-PP and BNC/DS-PP RF connectors overcome these issues, and they are also more suitable for use with the latest HDTV technology. The BNC-PP connectors are available in 50ohm and 75ohm versions and are intended for analogue signal transmission, while the BNC/DS-PP 75ohm connector is intended for digital serial signal transmission. This patented design is completely compatible with a standard BNC interface and requires no special installation tooling. The gold plating of both the inner and outer conductor reduces 'skin effect', thus improving high-frequency properties, and the contact resistance is decreased permanently thanks to the improved corrosion properties.

In addition, the contact pressure of each connector's outer conductor is increased by using contact tongues under-laid with an additional spring washer. This improves operational characteristics, according to the company. The BNC-PP and BNC/DS-PP RF connectors are available in a number of versions, and cable connectors in both crimp and solder variants can terminate cable sizes from 2mm to 11mm in diameter.

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...

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...

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.
