Switchtec has launched a new e-commerce website and upgraded its software applications to support a growing customer and product base. The company is a specialist in the supply of electromechanical, electrical and electronic components. With emphasis on customer service; Switchtec carries over seven thousand product lines ex-stock ready for immediate despatch.

Switchtec’s range of sealing products enable manufacturers, installers and those in maintenance to upgrade bare cable connections into waterproof types. Manufactured by Arnocanali, the product range includes gels and sealing pastes that can render a simple, unsealed junction box to become rated to IP68.

Distributor Switchtec has announced it is now supplying Telergon’s ZBK range of IP66 switch disconnectors. These rugged disconnectors are used as the main on-off switch or isolating switch for general isolating duties or as emergency padlockable on/off switches within the contractor and control industries. Aimed at panel builders, generator manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, and also for use in air conditioning/refrigeration and h...

As sole distributor, Switchtec has introduced the Arnocanali range of distribution blocks. Used to distribute incoming power to smaller or numerous cables within panels, the distribution blocks reduce installation time and keep cable usage to a minimum, providing time and cost savings over traditional methods.

  In order to meet the need for PCB terminal blocks for use in applications requiring higher current and voltage capabilities, distributor Switchtec has introduced Euroclamp’s MV series of high power terminal blocks. 

The PVSF series terminal blocks from Euroclamp allow installers to rapidly fit wires and cables to PCBs, providing a low cost, reliable solution. The blocks are available from Switchtec. The product has been developed to meet the needs of customers demanding PCB terminal block headers for applications where Faston connectors are used to connect cables.

Switchcraft has added an ergonomic option to its line of Cordette pendant switches. Switchcraft has been producing the highest quality momentary cable switches for half a century for such applications as nurse call switches and traffic control overrides.

Available from distributor Switchtec, Sirena’s Elyps range of light towers features a ‘ground up’ design offering machine builders and end users a range of light towers with design and performance levels that meet the increasingly demanding needs of the workplace. Previous light towers had a wiring base and modules that were all voltage specific, requiring each separate component to be stocked in 24, 110 and 230V versions across...

  Switchtec’s redesigned NT enclosed switch disconnectors offer improved performance at a more competitive price. The disconnectors are now offered in larger enclosures, making it easier for users to terminate stiff cables at the unit’s connection terminals. 

  To enable quick and easy installation and maintenance, Switchtec has introduced a range of pilot lamps which feature coloured terminals on the underside that are ‘coded’ to match the colour of the LED lamp on the ‘outside’. The SCL pilot lamps are available in the ubiquitous 16 and 22mm diameters for panel use.

Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, plug-in connectors by Euroclamp are screwless for speed of installation and are smaller size to enable more connections per unit length of PCB. Savings are made on production and materials costs.  The new screwless plug-in connectors use a spring clamp to grip the wire unlike traditional screw terminal connector blocks that rely on the tightening of a screw to grip the wire conductor.  

The Kudom KSV series solid-state relays (SSRs) are available at distributor Switchtec. They offer fast, reliable switching in applications requiring a high operating speed and a long electrical life. The modular, DIN rail mount relays feature high performance characteristics and are simple to order as the heatsink is included, reducing serial number options.

Melding compact size with high performance characteristics, Kudom’s KSD series solid state relays (SSRs) is available from specialist distributor Switchtec. The relays provide fast, reliable switching in a wide variety of applications across a broad range of industries. The KSD series is available in three ratings, 3A, 5A and the KSDF version with its integrated heat sink that can switch loads up to 25A.

Switchtec is now stocking Hongfa’s high voltage DC power relays. The components are a response to the growing renewable energy market that includes electric vehicles and the storage of DC energy, where there is a parallel requirement within these applications to switch high voltage DC circuits. The relays use Hongfa’s own patented technology and independent intellectual property to achieve high levels of performance.

In the world of panel building, there is often the requirement for a low cost, compact enclosure that can be easily fitted – sometimes during the latter stages of manufacturing to accommodate design modifications - to house a small circuit board or similar electronic assembly.  Available from Switchtec, Euroclamp’s CEM series modular DIN rail enclosures provide just the solution.

The SCL IS series of rotary isolators have been introduced by Switchtec. Their main function is to isolate the incoming electrical supply to a machine or a piece of equipment: they are used as the main on/off switch or as an isolating switch for general isolating duties, or as emergency padlockable on/off switches in the contractor and control industries.

Available from Switchtec, Telergon switch disconnectors have undergone an important upgrade whereby their handles and interlocks have been greatly improved for comfort and functionality. Although on the face of it a seemingly simple upgrade, anyone who has ever been on the wrong end of an uncomfortable, ‘stiff to operate’ large isolator switch will confirm that an ergonomic handle is an absolute must for safety and security.

Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, SCL ‘AI’ LED pilot lamps include anti-interference technology that stops the common problem of false illumination of LED lamps. Due to their inherent nature, LED lamps can glow softly when in the so-called ‘off’ state due to residual or transient voltages. Especially in a darkened control room, this can lead to false alarms, and to indifferent and confusing status indication – with pote...

Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, a power relay by industry leading manufacturer Hongfa enables the safe storage of electric vehicles without battery drain and also the prevention of fire in the event of an accident.
