This solution has high impact as a form of visual security and contributes to increased security awareness among staff.

Tyco Electronics has recently introduced its P series module, a multifunction power entry module for the widest range of applications, with current ratings of up to 10A. Many optional features are available in addition to three different mounting options (screw-mounting on the horizontal or vertical side and snap-in mounting).

Now available from Tyco Electronics is a range of highly stable and reliable metal oxide resistors providing high power in a small package. New RR series resistors are ideal for pulse applications in adverse conditions and are available in three different sizes with power ratings of 1, 2 and 3W for a voltage range from 350 up to 750Volts. Highly temperature resistant the devices feature a resistance range from 0.22Ω up to 1MΩ.

The catalogue covers the full range of AMP NETCONNECT cabling infrastructure products, ranging from Category 3 telephony to Category 7A high-end copper systems and optical fibre solutions to meet OM1, OM2, OM3, OS1 and the new OS2 cabling performance requirements.

As well as IEC connector filter packages for standard and medical applications, Tyco Electronics now also offers a filter for high-power applications. The EJT filter series’ two-stage construction, improved HF screening and high-quality components make it an ideal solution for noise attenuation within the high frequency range of up to 1 GHz. The components can be used in computer systems, plasma and LCD screens which are connected to mains pow...

The range of Axicom RF relays from Tyco Electronics has been extended to include a shielded 3GHz relay and a 6GHz relay to address the market requirements of increased frequency switching of analogue signals and transmission rates of digital signals. New HF3S and HF6 are developments of the well established HF3 relay and have been designed for 50Ω or 75Ω impedance applications and a frequency range of 200MHz up to 6GHz.

The AMP NETCONNECT Business Unit of Tyco Electronics has developed the Hi-D cable management system for data centres. This new system can increase patch densities by, on average, 30% with improved cable management and access compared to traditional techniques.

Tyco Electronics has selected IS-Rayfast as its UK & Ireland Specialist Distributor of the Year 2007. The award honours the distributor’s class-leading increase in the value of sales of Tyco Electronics products over the last year.

The EJ series from Tyco Electronics forms part of the next generation of RFI filter IEC connector packages. Dependant upon application, EJ series RFI filter connectors are supplied for snap-in (EJS version) or screw mounting (EEJ version) and include improvements that result in higher attenuation and also substantially improved HF-shielding due to the extended metal flanges around the sockets.

The new range of pre-insulated, solderless Euro-Crimp terminals and splices from Tyco Electronics provides reliable, low cost and easy terminations for wire sizes 0.5sqr – 6.0sqr (22AWG – 10AWG) and is ideally suited to meet the cost and performance requirements of a wide range of commercial applications.

Tyco Electronics has accorded TTI its title of UK and Ireland Distributor of the Year 2007. The award recognises TTI’s outstanding design-in work with Tyco Electronics’ products in 2007. “This is a well-deserved award for TTI, following an excellent year growing their sales of Tyco Electronics’ products,” comments Michael Finch, Distribution Manager UK & Ireland with Tyco Electronics.

The new MRJ21 pre-terminated copper cabling system from the AMP NETCONNECT Business Unit of Tyco Electronics is designed to offer simple plug-and-play installation, high-density interconnection with more ports in less space, and the reliability to handle substantial data streams in applications such as data centres.

Tyco Electronics has announced the addition of two new devices to its line of PolyZen polymer enhanced, precision Zener diode micro-assemblies. The new devices feature a higher hold current (2.3A) and are designed to help protect circuits in global positioning systems (GPS), smart phones, game consoles, portable media players (PMPs) and other video-based peripherals that can be charged in the car.

Having recently extended its range of polarized two pole telecom/signal relays, Tyco Electronics now offers one of the broadest and smallest ranges of 4th generation telecom relays in one package. Benefiting from a low profile (5.65 mm) and slim case design (10x6 mm), the Axicom IM series relay range now features a highly sensitive version (100mW coil), an ultra highly sensitive version (50mW coil), a highly dielectric version (1.5kV rms / 2.5kV ...

The range of SRB filters from Tyco Electronics ranks as one of the IEC-connector filters with the lowest installation depths on the market. The SRB filters are fully shielded and available with various capacitance values. This unique combination results in an outstanding common-mode rejection, which minimises the interference voltage depending on the model, and can reduce the radiation interference.

The RN73 series of ultra high stability precision chip resistors from Tyco Electronics has been extended to offer resistance tolerances down to 0.01% - making the devices up to 10 times more accurate than previously available models the company says.

The new range of BCF filters extends Tyco Electronics’ range of Corcom RFI filters to include a very compact book-format filter for the widest range of three-phase applications. This series of filters is distinguished by its very low weight, its cost-optimised design and high-quality components. Other features include the high-quality safety clamps used on both the input and output.

The range of low profile multi-function Crompton Instruments Integra 1630 digital metering systems (DMS) from Tyco Electronics’ Energy Division has been expanded featuring a new model with Ethernet communication module supporting connection to SCADA systems using the BACnet/IP protocol (ANSI/ASHRAE 135 - 1995 Annex J).
