Icon-32900 Range Converts Ethernet Network Signals


Axiomtek's Icon-32900 series of rugged media converters is designed to convert Ethernet network signals to fibre-network signals. The Icon-32900 series applies high-quality components with wide operating-temperature range and long MTBF. To enhance system reliability, the converters offer a Link Fault Pass Through feature, redundant power and relay output alarm. Axiomtek's Icon-32900 series provides a way of connecting two types of network segment.

The Icon-32900L media converter transforms 100Base-TX (Copper Gigabit) media to 100Base-FX (Fibre Gigabit) media in multi-mode or single-mode fibre optic. The RJ-45 port on the unit is dual-speed 10/100Mbps with half/full duplex auto sensing. The Icon-32900L series comes with Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) for tracing the network-link failure. The series is designed with an IP20 aluminum housing to help dissipate heat efficiently, allowing the system to operate in high temperatures.

The Icon-32900L series has switching capabilities that are able to filter traffic and record MAC addresses. The Ethernet-media converters support operating an temperature range from -40 to 75C and accept a voltage range from 12 to 48V DC. The series meets the Nema TS1/2 standard for traffic-control equipment, the UL 1604 safety standard for hazardous environment of explosive or flammable conditions and the UL60950 standard for information-technology equipment.

SMT Connector Powers LEDs From Underside Of Board

Tyco has introduced the SMT thru-board connector, which supplies power from the underside of an FR4 or aluminium-clad PC board, eliminating issues of dressing wires on the top side of LED boards. The two-position through six-position connector surface mounts on top of the board, passing through the board to present an underside interface. The connector mates with standard Mini CT connectors. The inverted design allows simpler assembly and installation of solid-state LED lighting in architectural, residential and commercial applications. The Mini CT connector is rated for three amps per contact, on 24 AWG wire. A space-saving low-profile design and rounded corners minimise shadowing. The connector fits through a hole or notch in the board. High-temperature materials allow the connector to be reflow soldered, while a flat-top surface provides compatibility with vacuum pickup. The connector uses surface-mount hold-downs to provide stability during mating and unmating. With UL listing...

Electromechanical Relays (EMRs) vs. Solid State Relays Comparison (SSRs)

Image
Electromechanical Relays (EMR) Pros (Advantages) Lower initial cost compared to solid state relays. Provides complete electrical isolation. Tolerates high current & voltage transients. Insensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) / radio frequency interference (RFI). Higher open resistance (air gap). Lower closed resistance. Available with many poles/circuits (up to 8 or more). Many different circuit configurations available. Multiple packaging & feature options. Most typical failure mode is open. Electromechanical Relays (EMR) Cons (Disadvantages) Higher control (coil) power consumption. Contact arcing can cause pitting & eventual open/short failure. Contacts can be affected by corrosion, oxidation or contamination. Contact bounce possible due to shock & vibration. Generates electromagnetic interference (EMI) / radio frequency interference (RFI). Can be orientation sensitive. Can be affected by external magnetic fields. Subject to mechanic...
