It is increasingly being used as the IP68 sealed housing for electromechanical components as well as PCB-mounted systems. To give a rigid surface for mounting heavier electrical, electromechanical and electronic components a 2mm thick aluminium inner panel is also available. Available for all sizes, it is screwed into the existing PCB bosses in either or both the lid and base.

LAPP: ETHERLINE GUARD Compact Monitoring Device for Data Cables

ETHERLINE GUARD innovates machine maintenance – Until now, there were only two alternatives for the maintenance of machine parts and plants: either parts were only replaced if they were already defective, or parts that were still functional were replaced at specific intervals as a precaution. However, thanks to Industry 4.0 and digitalization, there is a more efficient alternative to reactive maintenance: preventative maintenance. The idea behind this is to carry out maintenance measures depending on actual performance. This is also possible for connection systems, such as cables or connectors.

icotek: KEL-FW Split Bulkhead for 90° Cable Entry for Cables With Connectors and a Large Bending Radius / IP65

The new bulkhead KEL-FW is perfect for routing cables with/without connectors at a 90° angle over a large bending radius (max. 150 mm). The hinged cover of the new bulkhead KEL-FW is firmly connected to the  housing by a hinge and is therefore captive. This makes the system very easy and quick to mount. The KEL-FW is first screwed to the enclosure using the two rear holes and then fitted with the required cable grommets. The cover is then folded down, locked in place and screwed to the enclosure using the two front holes.
