Deutsch Connect More Closely with Servo Interconnect

Autosport customers are set to benefit from improved turnaround times for Deutsch AS connectors thanks to a new 24-hour assembly area at Servo Interconnect. The facility, now co-located with the Deutsch headquarters in Hastings, England, will provide a more focused service for teams and harness houses during the busy winter development period and forward into next season.

Paul Webb, Autosport Sales and Marketing Manager, is delighted with the development: "As one of our official distributors, we work very closely with Servo Interconnect, and they have always offered a great service to their customers. By bringing their assembly operation in-house means they can now take advantage of our Kanban systems and higher levels of component stock across the range. Therefore, we are much better able to respond to customers’ needs during busy periods. Also, because the component parts of the AS range are manufactured in Hastings, we can react to market and design changes in the shortest possible time," Webb adds.

The Servo Interconnect 24-hour operation will initially concentrate on the assembly of the popular Deutsch AS Standard range of connectors. These are medium and high density circular connectors designed to meet the stringent requirements of the autosport industry - high performance, reliability, low weight and space saving. Servo Interconnect will review the build process after this winter period and according to team’s demand refine the service during 2012.

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.
