New 0F-12μR Module Supplements REDline Series from Würth Elektronik ICS

With the 0F-12μR module, Würth Elektronik ICS is expanding its successful REDline product line for central electrical units. With the new module, each connection to the relay is available in the JPT connector. A customer's requirement provided the idea for the product development.

With its REDline series, Würth Elektronik ICS has developed a line of standard modules for the central electrical units that provides vehicle manufacturers with a highly cost-efficient solution primarily for the production of small series as no development costs are incurred here. The RED-line modules can be combined with one another as required. This means that an individual system can be compiled with which the consumer loads in the vehicles can be switched and fused. With the REDline modules, wiring harnesses and thus potential sources of faults can be substantially reduced.

The youngest member of this series of modules, the 0F-12μR module, was developed at the request of a customer. "In our development, we attach great importance to customer focus. Only those who listen closely to the customer can develop products that meet the customer's requirements. The new 0F-12μR module is a prime example of how specific customer requirements can be implemented in new products and transferred to our range of standard products," explains CEO Albrecht Faber.

The module offers connection possibilities for 12 micro relays that can be switched with up to 15 A. It has JPT/MCP-compatible connectors and can be operated with 12 V or 24 V. Solder bridges enable the ground signals of the relay coils to be joined. The special feature of this module is that all relay connections can be activated individually. Vehicle manufacturers thus have absolute flexibility.

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.
