Electrolube To Exhibit NVOC Conformal Coatings

Electrolube, a manufacturer of electro-chemicals for the electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing industries, will be presenting its full product range at National Manufacturing Week. Specialist advisers will be available to discuss the most suitable product to meet customers cleaning requirements and introduce the company's latest products, including the non-VOC conformal coating range. NVOC is a flexible, moisture cure, conformal coating based on polyurethane technology for the protection of electronic circuitry.

Electrolube has developed its non-VOC (volatile organic compounds) conformal coating range to meet the high performance of solvent-based coatings with minimal changes to processing parameters. NVOC conformal coating has been tested to recognised standards in the electronics industry and is a viable alternative to many solvent-based conformal coatings. With the increased awareness of the environmental effects of high VOC containing products, Electrolube has developed the NVOC conformal coating products to meet environmental expectations. The range offers environmental benefits without losing the products purpose of being able to protect while adhering to a wide variety of substrates and having resistance to mould growth.

The company said that these products also offer greater coverage, less waste, no solvent emissions upon cure and expensive curing equipment is not required. The range includes a high-viscosity gel and aerosol version. Electrolube will also exhibit ER2218, an ultra-low viscosity, flame-retardant epoxy resin. The product is a two-part encapsulation compound, designed to provide a high level of flame resistance and adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, while exhibiting resistance to water and a number of different chemicals. In addition to ER2218, Safewash Total will feature on the company's display. This is part of Electrolube's Safewash water-based cleaners and is currently in use by manufacturers worldwide.

Featuring non-flammable properties, low odour and non-VOC and very low toxicity, the Safewash range is designed for the removal of a wide range of residues and contaminants from printed circuit boards, with all types of application methods, including dishwasher, in-line pressure systems, ultrasonic and spray under immersion. The product is also used for the removal of solder pastes and adhesives from screens, stencils, PCBs and related accessories. Electrolube Australia also distributes the Hakko soldering range of products for the Australia and New Zealand regions. The FX-888 Hakko Soldering station, a thermal recovery for lead-free soldering and leaded solder applications, will also be displayed at the event. All of the latest Electrolube and Hakko products will feature at National Manufacturing Week in Sydney, Australia, on stand L165.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
