ELECTRONICS Don’t be held back by a part number With an impressive selection of over 25 industry-leading brands and several new product ranges added to Rhopoint Components’ portfolio in 2019, they have taken steps towards serving the ever-growing demand for customised solutions in the electronics industry. Off-the-shelf products no longer sufficient and using a close-enough part often means a compromise elsewhere. Rhopoint Components represent carefully selected manufacturers who can satisfy this market shift, while continuing to serve the industries where the flexibility and high quality have always been important. Whether an unusual package, resistance value, tolerance beyond the datasheet values or specialist terminations, Rhopoint Components offer customisation on the vast majority of their range of passive and active electronic components as well as pressure, temperature and liquid level sensors. Custom components can be surprisingly cost effective – often in line with the standard models, in addition to saving cost elsewhere in form of saved board space or eliminated need for an additional component. To see how Rhopoint can help equip your design with the right components, contact their technical sales team or visit their website. www.rhopointcomponents.com • Resistance value • Tolerances • TCR • Package • Terminations • Lead lengths and more....

The 6000B-100 includes a digital driver/controller with MODBUS protocol. Embedded chip-scale spectral sensors provide feedback monitoring to stabilize source irradiance. The field of illumination is 50 x 50 mm at a working distance of 155 mm. The compact and lightweight design supports a diversity of system integration concepts. Consuming only 15W of input power to produce 1 Sun of irradiance, the 6000B- 100 is energy efficient and simplifies any thermal interface or active cooling scheme. The product is intended for industrial use by qualified system integrators. T: 781-933-4477 [email protected] www.innovationsinoptics.com Whippendell Whippendell specialises in providing electrical solutions for harsh environments such as the Rail, Naval and Commercial Marine Industrial Sectors. This includes design, manufacture, in-service support and maintenance. For example, the company has been supporting the Royal Navy since the 1930s, with equipment on all current surface ships and submarines. We offer a range of electrical panels, motor starters, control systems, power conversion equipment and aircraft ground power support systems. Many of our solutions arise from a reverse engineering task to replace obsolete systems with modern alternatives. Typical applications include high pressure air control systems, pumps, steering gear, stabilisers, lifts, winches, mechanical handling equipment and HVAC systems. Solutions can be designed around Whippendell components or to customer preferred requirements and components – use of COTS and PLC technology is standard. www.whippendell-marine.co.uk New safety lock out for mains cut outs Now available from Martindale Electric – leaders in safe isolation and electrical safety – is the new LOK6W, a simple and effective locking off device for Henley and Lucy mains supply cut outs. Designed to restrict finger access to live contacts and prevent the reinsertion of a fuse whilst maintenance is in progress, the LOK6W is an essential accessory to keep electricians, installation teams and their customers safe in accordance with Electricity at Work Regulations. In common with the LOK6, the new LOK6W features an extendable design which also makes it suitable for larger Red Spot type fuse holders rated at 63A and 100A For more information, please contact Martindale Electric on 01923 441717 or visit: www.martindale-electric.co.uk Issue 45 PECM 35
