Sealed power connectors - plus machine safety seminars - from Wieland
15 October 2009
Wieland Electric has extended its RST series of electrical installation products with the addition of the five-pole RST power connector for use with currents up to 50A. The new RST 50i5 is extremely compact and significantly smaller than comparable connectors with the same current carrying capability.
Designed to provide fast, economical installation, the RST50i5 connectors are rated IP66 to IP67 for applications where a high degree of protection is required. Connectors for installation in panels can be mounted easily to a cut-out prepared for M32 cable glands, whilst an adapter ring in a pre-prepared M40 cut-out takes care of the centering.
Contacts are spring-loaded and mating components are interlocked by simply snapping the parts together. If required, male and female connectors can be separated easily using a screwdriver. RST50i5 connectors are also available with crimp connection, making them ideal for pre-assembly and the user-friendly bayonet lock protects against accidental disconnection.
* The new Machinery Safety Regulations are due come into force on 29th December this year and Wieland Electric is hosting a series of seminars through November and December to help engineers tackle the changes and make a smooth transition. Two new standards, EN62061 and EN ISO 13849-1, are being implemented to replace EN954-1 and are aimed at achieving an acceptable risk level for machinery. The seminars will provide a thorough review of the steps necessary to achieve compliance with the new regulations.
