NKK Switches'JWMW and JWLW series are IP67 rated panel sealed rocker switches with TV ratings. The smaller JWMW series features a panel cut out of 25 X 15.4 mm and is certified for TV-5. It has an electrical capacity of 10A @ 125/250V ac resistive and 10A @ 30V dc. Larger JWLW devices have a panel cut out of 30.7 X 20.5 mm and are TV-8 rated with an electrical capacity of 16A @ 125/250V ac and 5A @ 72V dc.
JWLW devices are well suited as power distribution switches for telecommunications applications. The series' capabilities exceed a 160A inrush load. These devices have an exterior seal covering the flange that is an integral part of the switch. They are rated to IP67 of IEC60529 standard, which is similar to NEMA 4 and 6. An optional watertight boot is also available. Featuring UL, CSA and VDE approvals, JWMW and JWLW switches also carry a flammability rating of UL94V-0.
All JW rocker switches are constructed for dust resistance with an interior polyphenylene sulfide seal between the actuator and contact area. These devices also feature prominent external insulating barriers which increase the insulation resistance and dielectric strength. JW housings and cases are polyamide, a heat resistant resin meeting UL's 94V-0 standards. The solder lug/quick connect terminals are molded in and epoxy sealed to lock out flux, dust and other contaminants. The terminals are also specially designed to break light contact welds and can be used with connectors.
Design engineers can configure SPST, SPDT, DPST or DPDT circuits. All single throw models can be ordered with the international inscriptions for ON and OFF. These can be specified in vertical or horizontal orientation to accommodate any panel placement needs. JW devices include an integral rocker cap available in color options of black, gray, ivory or red. Housings can be specified in black, gray or ivory.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
