Drive safely with magnetic arc blow out relay
The design of the DG55M automotive general purpose magnetic arc blow out relay is exclusive to Durakool and switches up to 20A at 80VDC, operating at 40A continuous capacity (at 23°C). This mini ISO relay’s special terminal arrangement ensures HVDC safety while fitting standard ISO relay sockets such as Durakool’s DZ85AB-5-WH2.
3,000 freight wagons equipped with telematics technology
ScandFibre Logistics (SFL), in cooperation with the freight wagon rental company, TRANSWAGGON (TWA), has evaluated a number of telematics providers with respect to, among other things, tracking goods (via GPS/GNSS). Choosing from a number of telematics providers, both companies decided on the Swiss firm, SAVVY Telematic Systems AG. SAVVY best meets the high requirements of TWA and SFL, and proved to be the most reliable and competent telemat...
Long life and high operating force for automotive applications
Production of the new ‘SKPS Series’ TACT Switch, developed by ALPS Electric, began back in January, with Soft Operating Feel, which realises a high operating force together with a long operating life to make the product suitable for in-vehicle controls. Automobiles are equipped with a wide range of control switches that add to the comfort and safety of the vehicle. Typical examples are air conditioning controls in the centre cons...
AEC-Q200 qualified thick film resistors minimise T.C.R
KOA’s UR73V-series thick film low ohm resistors are designed for current detection, especially in demanding environments. The special facedown construction makes lower resistance values with a low T.C.R. possible.
