Plug & Play – The Easy Way Anthony Wrighton Business Area Manager, Panel

Welcome The Panel business area is here to offer you a wide range of premium quality products typically used in control panels for industrial applications.

This includes a comprehensive range of connection terminals from the German manufacturer Contaclip who can also offer PCB terminals, electronic products and a full range of installation materials.

Other suppliers include Puls who produce some of the smallest and most efficient power supplies available on the market and Crouzet who have just launched their em4 Nano PLC with full connectivity to the “internet of things”.

Our brand new Panel Components catalogue has just been completed and brings together nicely our current offer including all of the latest products.

Please read on for more details of the suppliers and products featured and get in touch if you would like to receive a copy.

These touch safe terminals and connectors can be individually coded, fitted with snap-on locking latches and have the option of additional strain relief clamps for the cables.

We have a team of 4 sales engineers backed up by 3 product managers covering the whole of the UK who are here to assist you in making the right product selection for your application.

The connectors are made up by just snapping together the number of terminals and plug modules required for your application. They are available in rail mount or as a free coupling module.
