Pickering Interfaces Introduces New High Density PXI Multiplexers

Pickering Interfaces is expanding its range of PXI multiplexers with the introduction of the 40-570 and 40-571.

The 40-570 and 40-571 are based on the established Pickering Interfaces BRIC modules and provide a solution for applications requiring high pole count multiplexers. The modules are designed to serve applications where a single suite of test equipment is required to test a number of devices under test (DUT) sequentially. Typically these would be identical or very similar devices. Each multiplexer uses an 8 slot BRIC construction – all the multiplexer elements are interconnected within the BRIC module, greatly simplifying cabling and minimizing the effort required in connecting multiplexers together.

The 40-570 is a high density multiplexer that can be ordered in a variety of configurations extending from 6 channels of 160 poles to switching to 96 channels of 10 poles switching, allowing the module to be offered in configurations designed for sequential testing of 6 to 96 devices according to configuration. The 40-570 is rated for 1A switching and voltages up to 100V. The user connection is based on 160 pin DIN41612 connectors.

The 40-571 is a high density multiplexer with higher current rating of 3A that can be ordered in a variety of configurations extending from 6 channels of 48 poles to 48 channels of 6 poles multiplexing. The user connection is based on easy to use 50 Way D Type connectors.
Both models feature dedicated loop-thru connection, for simple expansion to larger multiplexer solutions. The 40-570 also has loop-thru isolation switches to maintain signal integrity in larger systems.

Connection to both modules is made easy through the extensive range of Pickering Interfaces connection solutions available for these modules. Both modules use high quality EMR relays that provide long and reliable service life.

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.
