More than 50 new product lines have been added to Rhopoint Components' latest 200 page components catalogue.
Braking resistors come marked with the UL logo
The ULN/ULF series of metal clad wire wound high power resistors is designed for motor braking applications and where space is at a premium and the user must have UL approval.
The FlexHeat silicone heaters, manufactured by PAC, keep applications at their optimum temperature.
The heaters are thin, electric radiant heating elements encased in dielectric, high temperature silicone rubber, which can heat and cool very quickly as a result of their high thermal mass.
They are designed using PCB technology, can withstand temperatures of up to 200C, and are photochemically precision etched.
These environmentally friendly heaters can be designed within exact watt densities and power requirements and to a customised size and heating level.
They are suitable for almost any application including food warming, telecoms, office automation, industrial, robotics, automotive, aerospace, military and medical industries.
Also on show will be RDF sensors that provide accurate temperature solutions for Aerospace and Industrial applications.
These products include high stability RTDs, industrial rugged RTD's and thermocouples, fast response thermocouples and heatflux sensors.
Opto Technology, the leading optical sensing, solutions and products specialist, has recently appointed Rhopoint as its European Agent and information will be available at the stand concerning this range of products which includes ultra bright blue and green LED's, and switches, sensors and optical arrays for high performance medical, defence and security applications.
Other products on show include the RARA high power wirewound resistor range and RTI's Surge Gard series of inrush current limiters.
The RARA range comprises individual resistors with power ratings to 1.2KW.
They offer resistor assemblies to 10kw and low profile power resistors as well as custom shunts.
The Surge Gard series is used in applications where inrush current causes problems when power is applied to a system.
Devices are available for steady state currents from 0.3A to 30A. Request free introductory details about products from Rhopoint Components ...
