***Silicone Insulated Wires***
CLEVELAND, OH: Silicone insulated wires are designed to meet the new NEMA HP 6 standard (publish October 30, 2007). This standard replaces MIL-W-16878 silicone rubber-insulated wire slash sheets (/7, /8, /29 through /32) and covers requirements for silicone rubber-insulated stranded wire that is used in the internal wiring of high-reliability electrical and electronic equipment. The standard addresses 600 V (type S) and 1000 V (types SS, and SSB) wire. The standard permits continuous conductor temperature ratings of -55ºC to +150ºC (tin-copper) or +200ºC (silver-copper). Radix also has available FEP insulated wires designed to meet the NEMA HP 4 standard. ---Radix Wire Co.

***Strain Relief Bushings Fit Larger Size Round Cables And Panel Mounting Holes--FREE SAMPLES***
TOMS RIVER, NJ: Line of RDD Lockit Strain Relief Bushings now includes the new RDD-601. This addition increases the capabilities of the RDD line to include round cables up to .700" (17,8 mm) and panel mounting holes up to 1.109" w/1.000 flats (28,2 mm w/25,4 mm flats). All RDD Lockits can be preassembled onto round or flat cables off line for final panel assembly at a later time, or, at a remote location for lower installed cost! Available automated application installation equipment speeds assembly, further lowers costs, and reduces repetitive manual assembly motions. RDD Lockits are also designed to easily install into a standard Double "D" panel hole with simple fingertip pressure - no clumsy hand tools required. Multiple panel locking steps secure the lockit stain relief into a range of panel thicknesses, and available matching plugs can be used to fill blank/unused mounting holes. ---Heyco Products, Inc.
