Power Moxa Introduces Industrial-Strength Data Line Surge Protectors Moxa has introduced the ISD-1000 series of data line surge protectors engineered to guard data and hardware from harmful transient energies resulting from the switching of nearby equipment. All four ISD-1000 models feature line-to-line and line-to-ground protection, and are rated for -40°C to 85°C temperatures. The ISD-1110-T (RS-232) and ISD1130-T (RS-422/485) are in-line surge protectors, designed for general purpose use. Both models provide 4 kV of surge protection, and are certified to IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 standard. The ISD-1210-T (RS-232) and ISD-1230-T are DIN-rail or panel mount models, designed for industrial use. Both models provide 20 kV of surge protection, and are certified to the demanding IEC 61643-21 C2 standard. New PDUs with Outlet-Level Monitoring Tripp Lite has introduced three singlephase switched power distribution units (PDUs) with individual outlet current monitoring. The switched PDUs offer users the ability to turn on, turn off, recycle or lock out power to individual receptacles as well as locally and remotely monitor each receptacle’s output power consumption. The PDU features built in current monitoring with 1 percent billing grade accuracy, 24 switched 5-15/20R, C13 or C19 outlets, 0U form factor, tool-less mounting, and a 10-foot power cord with locking L5-20P, L5-30P or L6-30P plug. The unit also supports support outlet-level power-on/power-off, load shedding and reboot sequences on realtime or programmable basis SurgeX SEQ-1U is a Smart, Slim Surge Eliminator and Power Conditioner SurgeX has released the 1U Sequencer (SEQ-1U), a single rack unit power management surge protection, conditioning and sequencing solution for computer equipment. SurgeX technology in the SEQ-1U includes Advanced Series Mode surge elimination, a zero let-through technology that stops all surges up to 6,000 volts / 3,000 amps (unlimited surge current) without producing harmful side effects such as ground contamination or common-mode disturbances. The unit also features both common mode and normal mode Impedance Tolerant EMI/RFI filtering and COUVS (catastrophic over/under voltage shutdown), as well as SurgeX ICE (inrush current elimination) to keep connected products protected and fed with a continuous flow of the ideal amount of power. Programming of the SEQ-1U is made easy through a front panel LCD display with simple commands. The display also shows unit status and AC line voltage. In addition to protecting AV and IT equipment, the nine available outlets on the SEQ-1U can be used to control other SurgeX power management products or several SEQ-1Us can be connected to operate together for management of large datacenters or audio video installations. All set-up configurations are stored in non-volatile memory. Build materials and industrial design of the SEQ-1U were carefully considered. A magnetic shielding steel enclosure makes the unit impervious to magnetic interference while a thermal circuit breaker provides overload protection. For added convenience, the SEQ-1U accommodates any type of control unit and provides DC voltage or contact closure feedback to Crestron, AMX and other similar control interfaces. The SEQ-1U has a load rating of 20 amps at 120 volts and meets Federal Grade A, Class 1, Mode 1 (A-1-1) guidelines for powerline surge suppressors. AVX’s Glass-Encapsulated Varistors Provide Circuit Protection AVX Corp. has expanded both its TransGuard and Automotive TransGuard series multilayer varistors to include glass-encapsulated, acid-resistant parts for use in high energy and harsh environment commercial, industrial and automotive applications. Exhibiting non-linear, bi-directional, V-I characteristics, both zinc-oxidebased ceramic semiconductor device series provide bi-directional over-voltage protection and EMI/RFI attenuation in a single SMT package. The series also feature multi-strike capability, sub 1nS response to ESD strikes and excellent solderability. AVX’s glass-encapsulated TransGuard series varistors are available in three case sizes (1210, 1812 and 2220), four energy ratings (spanning 2-12J) and feature a peak current rating of up to 2,000 A. Both series also have Ni/Sn-plated terminations, are RoHS compliant, are rated for use in temperatures spanning -55°C to 125°C, and are packaged on 7 or 13 inch reels. TransGuard series varistors are available in four working voltages (16, 22, 28, and 65 VDC), four clamping voltages (42, 44, 77 and 135 V), and can be employed in a range of professional, industrial and commercial applications including IC protection, DC motor protection, relays, controllers, sensors, smart grids and alarms. The series can also provide advanced circuit protection in sensor, relay, LIN BUS, ECU and DC motor applications. New TPR Series Temperature Protection Fusing Resistors KOA Speer has achieved the latest development in resistors, the TPR series temperature protection fusing resistors. TPR series resistors safely interrupt open circuits up to AC250V voltage and completely isolate the circuit after quickly fusing to the overload. These fusing resistors feature the pulse capability of wirewound resistors and are approved by UL1412 safety standards. With a wide operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 150°C and 1 watt power rating, TPR series fusing resistors are well suited for AC adaptors, small size switching power supplies, and lighting equipment (LED). These fusing resistors are available in 2 Ω ~ 10 kΩ resistance values at 5 percent tolerance. TPR resistors are also lightning surge compliant (IEC61000-4-5).
