Patented Lightpipe Technology Features Splash-Proof, Dual-Color Halo Ring

Lumex announces the global launch of the TransBrite™ family of light pipe technology for LEDs in both standard and custom formats created with state-of-the-art ray trace software with precise 3D CAD/CAM models to ensure optimal design for light transmittance.

Part of the new Lumex TransBrite light pipe family, the patented Halo Ring™ light pipe makes it possible to add visible dual-color indicator lights on switches with efficiency and performance unmatched in the market today. The Halo Ring is mounted not to a PCB but rather directly to the panel, generating real-estate savings of up to 10% on the PCB board and up to 20% inside the technology cabinet. Product design is simplified as indicator lights can be quickly and easily integrated into the panel without creating the need to redesign the PCB board.

The Halo Ring´s unique design also provides dual-color performance from a single light pipe without color mixing. Allowing a single dual-color light pipe to replace two individual light pipes generates up to 15% real estate savings on the display panel as separate holes are no longer needed for different indicator colors.

The Halo Ring is designed for optimal performance in challenging environments. It´s unique dual-ring plus gasket design provides a protective rubber layer in front of the indicator light, making the technology splash and water-proof (IP rating 67) The Halo Ring features a wide viewing angle (120°) and an extended temperature range of -40°C to 100°C to ensure high visibility even in extreme conditions.

Due to its ability to generate significant real-estate savings and market-leading durability, the Halo Ring is ideally suited for a wide number of portable and extreme environment applications including:
  •     medical device technology (including instrument controls for devices such as x-ray, MRI and ultrasound equipment);
  •     industrial control applications (including visual toggle switches, portable metering controllers and custom track panels);
  •     security and life safety applications (including panel switches, burglar and fire alarm systems, and access control panels);
  •     communications equipment (including network routers, switches and video servers).
Available in custom sizes from 10mm to 20mm in blue, white, red, yellow and green color varieties, the RoHs compliant Halo Rings are available for $9.00 to $10.00 in production quantities with lead times ranging from six to eight weeks.

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

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
