Bosch Rexroth AG introduces tensioning connectors. The product can be inserted or swiveled into grooves without profile machining, as well as retrofitted into existing constructions, saving assembly time and reducing cost.
Adapted for profiles with 8-mm and 10-mm grooves, the connectors work with all profile cross sections available in the company’s Basic Mechanical Elements modular system and require only one tool. The product is also available in ESD-compatible versions.
The connectors are reported to withstand bending loads up to 35 Nm and 110 Nm, as well as sliding forces of maximum 1,000 N and 3,500 N.
Wuerth Elektronik introduces printed pulse resistors for various voltage ranges. The product is reported to reach 200,000 V and to have increased reliability at high levels of thermo cycles. It has withstood temperature cycle tests of -40° C / +125° C, up to 3,000 cycles.
The resistors can be printed on the innerlayer of multilayer boards, saving space on external layers. Because they have no solder joints, they are not affected by any solder defects.
