Panel mount jacks with fibre optic and M12 connections

Georg Schlegel GmbH & Co. KG expands its panel mount jack programme with additional components for USB-C, fibre optic and M12 connections. The prevalence of USB-C device is increasing steadily also in the industrial sector. Thus Schlegel completed its portfolio by offering also a USB-C panel mount jack. On the front side the jack is designed as USB-C jack. On the rear there is a cable of 60 cm length with a USB-A connector. So the USB-C devices can be connected to conventional USB-A connectors. The USB-C panel mount jack supports the specification USB 2.0. According to bitkom, more than half of all industrial companies already use a fibre optic connection. To also cover this field, Schlegel has developed a first panel mount jack for the LC connection type. The panel mount jack RRJ_LWL_LC_OM2 is designed for LC/LC coupling and complies with the standards IEC 61754-20 and EN 50377-7. Up to 500 mating cycles and the use within a temperature range from -40°C to 75°C are possible. The mounting depth is only 28.5 mm. Additional connection and fibre types are planned and can be requested directly from Schlegel. Schlegel also further expands its product range in the area of M12 connection technology with the new M12 panel mount jack. The connections are A-coded and are designed as a 4-pole panel mount jack RRJ_M124A_100CM or a 5-pole panel mount jack RRJ_M125A_100CM on the front side. On the rear the connection is made via an open cable end. The M12 panel mount jack can be operated within a temperature range from -25°C to 80°C (from -5°C to 80°C for flexible operation), a voltage of max. 250 V (4 poles) / 125 V (5 poles) AC/DC and a current of max. 4 A per contact. The mounting depth is 43.9 mm. With the M12 panel mount jack, too, additional codings and pole assignments are planned or can be requested. All three panel mount jacks can be purchased for 22.3 mm mounting holes and in silver or black or with stainless steel front bezel.

WiFi adapter integrates to the control unit series

The company Georg Schlegel GmbH & Co. KG expanded its control unit portfolio by two components for the radio sector. For the wireless local area network acc. to the standard IEEE 802.11 Schlegel is offering the adapter RRJ_WLU_01 with USB connector. It is designed for the specification IEEE 802.11n and thus it theoretically allows transmisson rates of up to 600 MBits/s in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The standard IEEE 802.11n is downward compatible to IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b, thus the adapter can also be used in networks with those specifications. 64/128-bit WEP, WPA and WPA2 encoding are supported. The compact WiFi adapter has a mounting depth of only 41 mm and a USB 2.0 cable of 150 cm length for the connection to a Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Mac OS X or Linux system. For a considerably lower mounting depth of 27 mm Schlegel has developed the WiFi antenna RRJ_WLA_01. Same as all WiFi products, it is conform to IEEE 802.11 (a/b/g/n/ac) and acc. to IEC 60169-15 it can be connected via a SMA end launch jack. Both WiFi products are IP65 and are designed for a panel cut-out of Ø 22.3 mm and they fit the Rontron-R-Juwel range with its several design awards.

stainless steel enclosure specially designed for the mounting to profile rails

„Our new stainless steel profile enclosure combines high demands as to design, flexibility and functionality", says Wolfgang Zoll, sales manager of Georg Schlegel GmbH & Co. KG. The enclosure is based on a robust square profile made of 2VA stainless steel with a wall thickness of 2 mm and has been designed in a way that no screws are visible on the enclosure front side. The small-sized construction in a width of 40 mm exactly fits to each standard profile rail so that there is no overlapping and both - the enclosure and the profile rail - become a perfect unit. Besides, the stainless steel enclosure blends in harmoniously into different applications thanks to its reduced space saving height of only 40 mm. Also, relating to the mounting onto the profile rail the new solution scores: It just has to be put on and is being fixed by slot nuts with self-locking screws. In case a direct mounting to the wall is required, Schlegel also offers suitable solutions. For the equipment of the enclosure with 1 - 6 actuators customers can choose from the whole Shortron control unit range. The assembly is done by Schlegel in-house, upon delivery the stainless steel enclosure just has to be mounted to the profile rail. For the optimum adaption to individual requirements Schlegel is offering two connecting systems: For enclosures with 1 - 3 actuators via M12 connector and for those ones with 4 - 6 actuators with cable gland. The access to the enclosure is given via the bottom of the housing. Customised versions On request, Schlegel offers the new enclosure concept with customised equipment. Also in this case customer can choose from the whole Shortron control unit range. Beside the standard of up to 6 actuators it is also possible to get a versíon with more than 6 actuators, also in customised designs - up to a maximum length of 100 cm is possible. As an alternative, an additional enclosure concept with an extremely small size of 20 mm is planned.

RGB pilot light

It is made in the RONTRON-R-JUWEL design and includes a RGB-SMD LED. Besides the option to choose between 7 colours, the illumination uniformity and the depth of colour have become even more homogeneous and intense. The standard colours are white, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta and cyan, but it is possible to access the whole RGB colour range, using a PWM signal (pulse width modulation). The pilot light is easily connected via the SMD flat clamp, just inserting the cable. The clamp ensures the connection and keeps the cable in place. A safety diode protects the LED against damage in case of improper connection of the cable. The new RGB pilot light is made for 22.3 mm mounting holes and fulfils IP65, being dust and waterproof. It is designed for an operating voltage of 24V and a max. amperage of 50mA, having an operating temperature range of -30°C to 70°C.

Ready for M12 - ingeniously simple! new contact block series

The new contact block series FRT connect brings pushbuttons and switches to the M12 world Most pushbuttons and switches are still equipped with screw, Faston or clamping connection. This kind of wiring is associated with an increased effort and is also prone to errors. Those problems are solved by changing to the M12 connection. The disadvantage: Up to now, this change to M12 mostly requires the exchange of the complete series. The new contact block series FRT connect of GEORG SCHLEGEL GmbH & Co. KG with its M12 connection provides remedy. The new FRT connect contact blocks make existing systems "ready for M12". This contact block series allows to equip pushbuttons and switches of various ranges with a M12 connector. Quick and simple. Suitable for many ranges All SCHLEGEL pushbuttons and switches with 16 mm housing neck and 3 mm travel can be combined with the FRT connect contact blocks to make them M12 compatible. If NC or NO contact, or with illumination option – the diversity of possible contact equipments covers all options. There are connectors with 4 poles with SCHLEGEL pin assignment or with 5 poles with AIDA pin assignment to choose from. A long life time and a high switching capacity are completing the list of advantages of the series FRT connect. More individuality is hardly possible.

Charging jack Kombitast-R-Juwel

Mobile devices are part of our everyday life and have to be available everytime, everywhere. It is all the more important to recharge the battery in time and fast. The new USB-A charging jack from Schlegel has been designed to do exactly that. The jack has 2 USB-A ports, each providing a charging current of 2.4 A at an output voltage of 5 V. This way, two devices can be charged at the same time at "lightning speed". But not only the charging capacity is convincing, the scope of functions for safe operations does as well. The jack comes with a current limitation of the output current of each USB port, including also a protection against short-circuit, undervoltage and overvoltage. Overload protection The charging jack can be operated within a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C. When the environmental temparature rises, a temperature sensor ensures that the electronics do not heat up too much. It regulates the charging current correspondingly or even switches off the charging process automatically when critical temperatures are being reached. Only after the temperature returned to the uncritical state the charging process will be continued. Additional ventilation slits ensure a continuous cooling, especially when the circulation of air is restricted due to the mounting situation. The robust USB-A charging jack has a mechanical lifetime of min. 5000 plugging cycles and is constructed for a panel cut-out of 30.5 mm. The operating voltage ranges from 15 V to 30 V DC. The electrical connection is provided with a spring-load terminal for cable cross-sections from 0.2 to 2.5 mm². The new SCHLEGEL charging jack is also suitable for railway applications as all relevant parts of it comply with the standards EN 50155, EN 61373:2011 class 1B, EN 60077-1, EN 45545-2, EN 60068-2, EN-50121-3-2, IEC 61000-6-3/4, EBA EMV06. SCHLEGEL currently offers 2 versions of the charging jack: KRJSW_2USB_A_5V with black front bezel and KRJM_2USB_A_5V with silver-coloured front bezel.

gateways and extension modules expand the modular bus system range

For our modular bus system (MBS), which connects pushbuttons and switches to industrial communication systems, we are now offering new gateways and extension modules. Those were equipped with additional components such as an RFID interface, which help to manage access to machines or operating units. Industrial networks more often play an important role in industrialised work processes. In particular, the industrial Ethernet offers significant advantages: The management of big data packages, the fast and easy processing of information and the adaptation to special conditions of operation in the industrial sector make processes more transparent, safe and efficient. The gateways for Profinet (PN_GW_HS_01), Ethernet/IP (EN_GW_HS_01), EtherCAT (EC_GW_HS_01) or Powerlink (PL_GW_HS_01) each have an interface to our modular bus system (MBS). The MBS enables an easy connection of pushbuttons and switches to the network and the control. Other units like potentiometers or RFID readers can be operated through the integrated A/D converter resp. the integrated RFID control unit.
