Glow Wire Compliant Power Relays

Fujitsu, fujitsu.com

The DPST/DPDT 5A PCB power relay series meets glow-wire test requirement standard IEC/EN60335, which addresses the safe operation of consumer and commercial electrical appliances. The low-profile (16.5mm) FTR-F1-GW relay series is rated from 1.5 to 110V. Designed for safety, it features a reinforced insulation construction, 8mm minimum insulation distance between coil and contact, a surge strength of 10,000V, and a dielectric strength of 5,000V AC for extended flammability protection. The plastic, sealed relay measures 12.8Lx29Wx16.5Hmm and weighs 12.0g. It is available with either standard (530mW and 550mW) or high sensitivity (400mW) coils and has an operating temperature range of -40° to +75° C. Typical applications include factory automation equipment as well as power protection equipment and solar panels.

IoT Connected Surge Protector

Eaton, eaton.com

The Power Xpert SPD is the latest addition to Eaton’s family of surge protective devices, which leverage advanced connectivity to help protect vital equipment from potentially devastating surge events. Offering advanced monitoring display and communication capabilities in addition to historical surge logging, the Power Xpert SPD is effective for industrial environments where avoiding downtime caused by surge events is critical. The Power Xpert SPD also enables customers to capture and categorize surge events by low, medium, and high categories, according to IEEE standard C62.41. The connected solution enables customers to remotely monitor surge data in real time or store events in a log with time and date stamps they can use to predict future surge events or enact proactive maintenance of critical equipment.

Miniature Linear Voice Coil Motor
