Miniature Flush Mount Switches Offer Sleek, Refined Style Without the Premium Price

When you want the best selection in high-quality switches, IDEC has sixty-five years of experience providing the parts and pricing you want! With a choice of metal or plastic bezels, various sizes (8 to 30mm), contact ratings and mounting options, IDEC switches add style and safety to any application.

The latest miniature flush mount switches from IDEC offer a streamlined package, perfect for applications requiring a clean surface appearance. A smooth design cuts down on surface area, preventing dust and other particles from accumulating, and making regular cleaning a breeze.

IDEC LB switches have a powerful 5A operating current plus an available 3PDT contact configuration for more flexibility within a small package. Projecting only 2mm when mounted on a panel, these switches provide a sleek, updated look. In fact, the contact block design only protrudes 27.9mm behind the panel, compared with 45mm for most conventional 16mm switches.

With a choice of metallic or black plastic bezels, and flush or standard mounting, these switches add style to any application. Choose from illuminated pushbuttons, pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches and key selector switches. Plus, new LED/lens technology, means LB pilot lights and illuminated pushbuttons offer bright LED illumination for superior visibility.

LB switches are also UL recognized, TUV approved, CSA certified and CE marked, as well as provide an IP65 degree of protection, making them ideal for instrumentation, medical equipment, food and beverage processing equipment, semi-conductor equipment, packaging, commercial appliances, non-industrial applications (train cab, parking machines and audio/visual equipment), computer peripherals, machine tools, panels and more.

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.
