It has been announced that Hylec-APL is to launch a programme to encourage and support electrical wiring safety best practice in the industry. The company is working with industry veteran, Tony Brogan, who will be giving a live demonstration and advice on the Hylec stand, B2, at LuxLive on Wednesday.

The LuxLive exhibition in London was the setting for Hylec-APL to sign a major commercial agreement with Edmundson Electrical, the UK’s largest electrical wholesaler. The agreement covers the supply of Hylec-APL’s electrical and electronic products to Edmundson Electrical’s 350 outlets throughout the country, including all Edmundson, Electric Center and Lockwells branches.

A lever connector has been introduced by Hylec-APL at Elex at Sandown Park on 3rd and 4th November. The HYLK Kwik Lever range features a lever-spring action clamp and can be used with both stranded and solid cables with a maximum conductor size of 4mm, (AWG minimum 24, maximum 12), enabling professional installers to make fast, simple and secure connections in seconds. 

A new series of DIN-rail mounting enclosures has been announced by Hylec-APL. The DNCB Range features snap-on bases and terminal covers for quick, easy assembly and is suitable for electromechanical and electronic applications. For the latter, the DNCB Range is suitable for PCBs up to 1.6mm thick, with slots which hold up to three PCBs horizontally or between two and four vertically. 

  Hylec-APL has announced its new Debox 2 SL in-line cable junction box which can be assembled in a few seconds, against several minutes for a traditional junction box. 

Hylec-APL will be showcasing a range of general purpose junction box enclosures on Stand E28 at ELEX in Exeter, 21st – 22nd April 2016. The IP66-rated DN range of junction box enclosures includes a 35mm DIN rail and mounting screws for simpler mounting of terminal blocks, relays and connectors. In addition, the DN range carries multiple slots for vertical PCB mounting, making this product a flexible choice for both electrical and electronic...

Hylec-APL announces its DEDS Series of lockable, solid door steel enclosures specially designed to provide high-quality, secure, cost-effective protection for exterior electronic and electrical installations. Launching to coincide with Hylec-APL’s appearance at ELEX Westpoint in Exeter, the DEDS Enclosure Series is IP66 rated against water and dust ingress, meets IK10 specifications against impact and complies with IEC 60529 standards.

Hylec-APL has added two new sizes to its IP65-rated DED range of rugged door enclosures, with the option of solid or transparent doors. The units measure 400x175x500mm and 600x260x800mm and their construction ensures that they deliver maintenance-free and cost-effective housings for applications that are designed to have a long working life.

Hylec-APL has announced its DN Range of IP66 junction box enclosures, supplied complete with a 35mm DIN rail. The high quality DN Range offers several unique design features at a highly attractive price point – up to 25% less than competing products.

Hylec-APL has announced the DIME/M series of cost-effective, high quality DIN rail PCB housing supports. Suitable for PCBs measuring up to 72mm wide, the modules can be clipped together forming an open front DIN rail support for PCBs of between 20 and 177.5mm in length.

Hylec-APL has extended its DE range of IP65 door enclosures, which have gained a reputation in the market as providing rugged, maintenance-free and cost-effective protection for long-life applications. All DE door enclosures are supplied with a galvanised steel back plate, external mounting brackets and a lock and key as standard, so unlike competing products there are no hidden costs. Made from flame-retardant ABS, the enclosures feature wall th...

Hylec-APL has announced that its recently-patented Kwik Fix range of cable glands features a locking mechanism that requires access from one side of the panel only, without special tools, yet still achieves IP68 sealing. Kwik Fix cable glands also have a wide -20 to +100ºC operating temperature range so they suit many applications and conditions.

Hylec-APL has announced a CDU (Counter Display Unit) for its innovative, re-imagined DEBOX in-line junction box. Targeting electrical wholesalers, the CDU is compact and includes a 3-step infographic showing how DEBOX simplifies the installation process by removing the need for screws which are often supplied loose and can get dropped and lost when the box is opened, or forgotten in the first place.

Hylec-APL is announcing RETO, the latest line in 19” data and server cabinets from Retex, which offers ease of installation, accessibility, strength and price. The latest RETO rack differs from previous-gen products because it has no external structure. This maximises internal space utilisation and also helps facilitate quick assembly.

A waterproof connector with X-Dry technology, the Techno TH392, has been introduced by Hylec-APL. All cables are hydroscopic to some degree and will therefore absorb moisture that can collect inside the cable sheath, moving along its length and even crossing terminations in the cable. The X-Dry technology blocks moisture transmission across terminals, protecting electrical and electronic equipment.

Hylec-APL has announced a 20mm diameter member of its venting element family which protects sensitive circuitry from the effects of moisture. When an enclosure is exposed to changing temperatures, the air inside will expand and contract as it heats and cools respectively. As the air contracts, the internal pressure decreases and air is forced in. This air contains moisture which can condense causing damage to electrical and electronic systems.

Waterproof connectors, which feature IP68 protection and a diameter of only 23mm, have been introduced by Hylec-APL. The mini-TEEPLUG and mini-TEETUBE incorporate an innovative design in which the terminal block forms part of the external housing. The cable is inserted through the dome top gland nuts at each end of the connector and the conductors are screwed securely into the terminal block. The dome topped cable glands, which form the entry poi...

To allow end users to create a customised solution which fits the dimensions and requirements of their application, Hylec-APL has launched a range of DIN rail mounted PCB housings which feature a modular design. The components are suitable for use in applications requiring timers, counters, relays or any other control or monitoring equipment where quick installation and easy access may be required.

  An in-line junction box, designed to enable fast and easy installation, has been introduced by Hylec-APL. As standard, the DEBOX is supplied with a four-pole terminal block which is secured on a push-fit mounting pole, providing the user with all the necessary equipment for installation. 

A range of pre-installed control stations from Hylec-APL has been made available to buy in most Maplin stores across the country. The control stations, which are rated up to IP66 (depending on switch type/s used), are predominantly single switch stations and include emergency stop, palm/foot, momentary action (ON/OFF) pushbutton, rotary and key switches, though a dual switch control station consisting of an emergency stop and pushbutton ON switch...
