‘element14 Features’ brings a comprehensive range of innovative
electromechanical products to Asia Pacific
Latest ‘element14 Features’ showcases three electromechanical product categories for engineering professionals
to create innovative solutions across different industries
Singapore, 27 September 2011 – element14 (formerly Farnell), the first electronic component distributor that fuses commerce and community, today announced that the newest edition of the ‘element14 Features’ focuses on a wide range of electromechanical products across three product categories: Switches, Relays and Fuses; Connectors, Cable and Cable accessories; Fans and Enclosures. Maintenance and repair professionals and design engineers will be able to access over 14,000 products and resources related to these three product categories from element14.
element14 offers the latest miniaturisation technology in switch products, which aligns with increasing market demand for miniaturized end user products and applications. element14 also stocks a comprehensive range of the reliable and innovative fuses and relay solutions with next day delivery to most cities in the region from global manufacturers including TE Connectivity, Littelfuse, Omron and Honeywell. In addition, discounts of up to 45 percent will be available for selected products.
Another segment that ‘element14 Features’ is focusing on is connectivity solutions and engineers can access the widest range of connectors stocked in Asia Pacific as well as 3,000 industrial cables and accessories. Engineers can choose from a wide selection of high performance and cost effective products from leading connectivity specialists such as Bulgin, Belden, HellermannTyton, Phoenix Contact and Pro-Power.
Fans and Enclosures is the third category and element14 offers an encompassing selection of these components from leading suppliers such as Hammond, Multicomp and Fibox. The range of enclosures stocked by element14 is widely used across different industries including telecommunications, medical and instrumentation markets.
Some of the products element14 offers from these three categories include:
· Littelfuse TLS Series: These fuses are designed specifically for the protection of telecommunications equipment and they have been precision engineered to operate up to 170 VDC to provide current-limiting short-circuit protection for cables and components found in the DC power distribution circuits of telecommunications systems. The compact design and multiple mounting configurations of the TLS series allow it to be used in a variety of applications.
· TE Connectivity Flexlite™ Wire offers a high-performance nonflowing insulation suitable for a variety of applications, especially those with occasional high-temperature excursions, such as high-power battery-operated devices or intermittent-duty motors and heating elements.
· Hammond 1550Z Enclosures Series is a range of very economical, diecast aluminium alloy enclosures designed to meet IP66. It is easy to wall mount using the “through box – blind hole” construction and ideal for repetitive opening and closing
“element14 understands design engineers’ need to combine different components seamlessly in order to maximise the functionality of their designs. With a booming manufacturing sector in Asia, the demand for increasingly sophisticated and integrated products continues to grow. That is why we are featuring three different product categories this month from which engineers will be able to select compatible components across different product families to create solutions more efficiently,” said Marc Grange, Head of Product Management, element14, Asia Pacific.
Within the ‘element14 Features’ section, users will be able to retrieve useful technical information on the latest electromechanical components and solutions; the information enables engineers to better understand and maximise the usability and integration of various components into increasingly complex designs. Users also benefit from element14’s platform as they can compare detailed specifications across the different product categories and determine compatible products for their designs.
