LEDs replace standard incandescent lamps directly
Now available from Aerco are LED 'drop-in' lamps from EBT designed for direct replacement of all standard incandescent and neon lamps.
The material is banned in many applications including all types of public service vehicles.
The new connectors are available in drab olive and black and in configurations from 1 to 61 crimp or solder contacts.
They are rated at 7.5 to 500A and have a temperature rating of -55 to +190C.
Versions with a higher temperature rating are also available and low fire hazard insulators are standard in the ABCIR range.
With a high level of protection against water ingress and excellent shielding and continuity characteristics between mated connectors these robust connectors are ideal for use in military vehicles, public transport and particularly the railroad industry, where they meet all relevant rail specifications.
