ELECTRONICS: Highlighting WAGO Corp.’s new 2002 Series TOPJOB®S Fuse Terminal blocks are two exclusive blocks: a four-conductor, mini-automotive fuse holder block; and a four-conductor fuse disconnect block with a spare 5 x 20 mm fuse holder. Utilizing the common TOPJOB®S profile, Fuse Terminal blocks streamline assemblies, facilitating WAGO-exclusive vinyl ID marking strips. WAGO’s TOPJOB®S line now offers a common profile for feed-through, disconnect/testing and fusing of analog signals.Ideal for applications from machinery to boats, the Fuse Terminal blocks offer two test plug locations on each side of the fuse, and time-saving accessories including: push-in, staggered and step-down jumpers; component and test plugs; and modular connectors. The Fuse Disconnect and Fuse Plug Carrier blocks offer an optional PCB with an SMT-LED that indicates blown fuses and is connected via onboard spiral springs — no soldered blown fuse indicator.
TOPJOB®S Terminal blocks employ push-in terminations for ferruled or solid conductors and screwdriver actuation for stranded conductors. CAGE CLAMP®S Spring Pressure Connections are vibration-proof, maintenance-free and temperature cycling-resistant.

Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
