Low Thermal EMF Relays Reduce Thermocoupling

Coto Technology's 3500 and 3600 series Low Thermal EMF Reed Relays reduce thermocoupling and provide for true voltage measurements at very low signal levels.

The 3500 & 3600 series Reed Relays  address the problem of stray voltages introducing errors into the signal path when measuring low level signals (tens to hundreds of microvolts).  Typically, as temperature increases, stray voltages are generated by  "thermocouples" in the circuit, resulting from the dissimilar materials of a relay.

Coto's low thermal relays incorporate a patented thermal chip which provides thermal  equilibrium while maintaining electrical isolation.  This helps to compensate for the effects of thermal gradients which cause EMF voltages. Coto's low thermal relays are available  with maximum thermal EMF ratings between  0.5 V and 10 V and are 100% production tested.  Other available features include: Switching voltages up to 1000VDC; dry- or  mercury-wetted reed switches; up to 3-form-A switch configuration; control voltage of 5 or 12 VDC; and an optional electrostatic shield.  In addition, Coto's low thermal relays  have fast switching times (.07mS for turn-on and 0.1mS for turn-off) allowing for a high sample rate when monitoring several processes.

Biasi Develops ActivA Unique Boiler Range Biasi UK has developed ActivA, a new range of high efficiency A rated condensing boilers boasting a unique heat exchanger. The launch of ActivA is further testimony to the company's commitment to strengthen its position in the UK domestic gas boiler market. At the heart of ActivA is a newly developed pre-mix condensing heat exchanger that is manufactured in a corrosion resistant, pressure moulded aluminium. Its sectional construction means it can be easily adjusted for different boiler outputs and its 'multipass' design ensures very low resistance for both combustion and water passage. This unique heat exchanger carries a five year guarantee. Designed to provide outstanding heating performance at an affordable price for almost all types of domestic properties, the compact range boasts some of the smallest boilers available - at just 700mm high x 400 wide and only 290mm deep - thereby allowing installation in cupboards. As well a

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as
