Industrial Ethernet switches
852 Series switches range from simple styles to configurable, multifunction Ethernet communication switches, all suitable for rigorous industrial environments.
Features & benefits
Rugged housing; handle temperatures from 0° to 60° C; vibration resistance to IEC 60068-2-6; shock resistance to IEC 60068-2-27
Electrical characteristics include function monitoring and redundant voltage supplies from 9 to 48 V
Xpress Ring in the 852-104 style allows redundant ring reconfiguration in less than 50 msec in the event of primary link failure; failures can be reported via e-mail

SiC power switch
A demonstration, dual switch, 1200 V, 100 A, power module featuring all-SiC (silicon carbide) semiconductors is able to operate at temperatures to 200° C, beyond those achievable with a silicon IGBT-based module.
Features & benefits
Development funded by U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory
Power module features SiC MOSFETs and SiC Schottky diodes
SiC MOSFETS are normally off devices with drive requirements equal to silicon IGBT modules they replace, for easy drop-in substitution
Possibly an enabling technology for next-generation military aircraft and combat systems; also suitable where high efficiency is critical, such as solar-energy power inverters and electric drives

Rugged switches
A new family of switches is available for severe operating conditions and heavy-duty applications, such as industrial controls, farm machinery, and off-road vehicles.
Features & benefits
ESM and DSM Series are single and double switch modules, supplied ready to install with optional cables or connectors; both styles protected by silicon rubber caps and sealed to IP65 when mounted
RS and QS Series switches provide tactile feedback and positive snap-point action; designed for use in front panels, multi-function grips, or other switching units
AR3 and AR5 Series analog rocker switches are suitable for off-road vehicles and feature Hall-effect contactless sensing, with one sensor as standard and an optional second sensor as required
