RECTANGULAR CONNECTORS — These industrial multipole connectors now offer a solution for the pluggable connection of motors and engines. The angled die-cast aluminum rectangular housing substitutes for the conventional motor junction plate with threaded bolts and feeder clamps. Symmetrical mounting holes enable the housing to rotate freely in 90° steps. The motor connecting housing can be used with all 10-pole contact inserts, and screw, spring, and crimp connections. The compact and space-saving design allows for quick and easy replacement of motors. The revos motor connecting housing is designed for motors up to 7.5 kW and has a rated voltage of 600 V. It has a protection rating of IP65 in accordance to DIN 40050. WIELAND ELECTRIC, BURGAW, NC. www.wielandinc.com

LC BOOT — This fully rotatable LC boot is designed to greatly improve cable routing in dense cable-management applications. The unique boot rotates a full 360° without twisting the fiber, eliminating the risk of fiber torsional stress. Its 42°-angled design provides ease of routing and eliminates undue stresses imposed on traditional straight boots in many cable routing applications in which space is an issue. Made from low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) material, the boot meets proposed industry toxin reduction initiatives.
