Enclosures protect trackside safety equipment
A new series of remotely heated point heaters on the East Coast Main Line uses Weidmuller K Series enclosures to protect the connection assembly against all adverse trackside conditions.
The Weidmuller Minimate design offers double density connections in 3.5mm pitch, which uses 30% less panel space, and 10% less PCB space than 2.5mm pitch connectors, particularly important where the dimensions of hardware are critical.
End-to-end stacking can be achieved without loss of pitch, also ensuring optimum use of space.
Conductors up to 1.0mm2 can be accommodated, and Weidmuller's screwless, tension clamp technology ensures rapid wiring with secure connection.
Gold-plated terminals are available for small signals and applications where vibration may be encountered.
The Telephone RTU System used for remote level and other control has been developed by Weidmuller (Canada).
It comprises paired transmitter and receiver units, with transmission of four analogue and four digital signals, over a twisted pair communications cable or a dedicated telephone line.
