The SW-5104 from Daido Industries is an intrinsically safe magnetic proximity switch suitable for use in all hazardous areas, including Zone 0 (areas with the highest risk of explosive atmospheres). Certified by the Technology Institution of Industrial Safety (TIIS) with an explosion-proof rating of Ex ia IIC T6 Ga, it offers reliable performance across a wide range of environments containing explosive gases. Its non-contact detection method eliminates issues such as performance degradation due to wear or malfunctions caused by foreign object entrapment, ensuring superior durability and reliability. The unit features an M12 threaded housing, allowing for easy height adjustment and excellent installability. Additionally, it boasts IP67-rated dust and water resistance, ensuring stable operation even in harsh environments exposed to dust or water. The detection range can be set between 12.0 mm and 76.0 mm, depending on the magnetic strength of the target magnet used, allowing for flexible design tailored to specific applications. This Japanese-made, 2-wire, bipolar detection model is ideal for position detection in industrial equipment where safety is a priority.

Features
[1] Made in Japan; TIIS explosion-proof certified.
[2] M12-sized, 2-wire, bipolar detection type.
[3] Threaded sensor body allows for easy height adjustment during installation.
[4] Non-contact detection eliminates wear-related degradation and foreign object entrapment issues.

Daido Industries' intrinsically safe explosion-proof temperature sensor is designed for use in hazardous areas where explosive gases may be present. It features an intrinsically safe structure that prevents ignition of the gas by electrical sparks or hot surfaces, whether during normal operation or in the event of a malfunction. When used in combination with an isolated safety barrier (DB1051 or DB1052), the system complies with the explosion-proof type certification standards of the Technology Institution of Industrial Safety (TIIS). As the sensor does not require a dedicated Class A ground connection, installation work is simplified. Additionally, the safety barrier incorporates signal conversion functions (4–20 mA and 1–5 V), eliminating the need for a separate signal converter and thereby simplifying system configuration while reducing costs. Furthermore, the safety barrier provides electrical isolation from the power supply, reducing signal noise on the sensor side and ensuring stable temperature measurement. The product supports various thermocouple types (K, B, R, S, E, J, T, N, C) and Pt100 resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It holds an explosion-proof rating of Ex ia IIC T4 Ga and operates within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, ensuring high safety and reliability in hazardous locations.

Features
[1] Complies with the explosion-proof type certification of the Technology Institution of Industrial Safety (TIIS) when used with an isolated safety barrier (DB1051 or DB1052).
[2] Features an intrinsically safe explosion-proof structure designed to prevent the ignition of hazardous gases by electrical sparks or hot surfaces during normal operation or accidents in hazardous areas.
[3] Does not require a dedicated Class A ground connection.
[4] Available with various configurations, including terminal boxes, flanges, and thermowells.
[5] The isolated safety barrier features a signal conversion function (4–20 mA / 1–5 V), so there is no need to provide a separate converter.
[6] Because the unit provides isolation from the power supply, signal noise on the temperature sensor side is reduced.

Fukuden’s FF-Toughra (FK) is a multi-core cable designed for flexing applications, featuring a continuous operating temperature of 200°C and excellent resistance to heat, oil, chemicals, and weld spatter. It achieves superior flexibility through the use of fine-gauge conductors combined with FEP (fluororesin) and FR (fluoro-rubber) materials. Compared to standard fluororesin multi-core cables, it is more pliable and easier to handle; it also delivers outstanding performance in temperature ranges where silicone rubber cables fall short. We offer this product in our shop, sold by the meter with a 10-meter minimum order. Available sizes include 0.75SQ, 1.25SQ, 2SQ, and 3.5SQ, with core counts of 2, 3, or 4. The outer sheath is black. Delivery takes approximately one week. Please place your order via the product page below.

Nagaoka Electric Wire's ESPC 0.5SQ×1P cable is available for purchase at our shop in 1m increments and 100m rolls. The ESPC 0.5SQ×1P is a high-performance signal pair cable suitable for Omron's Controller Link and RS-422/RS-485 signal transmission (100Ω impedance). This cable uses polyethylene, which has excellent electrical properties, as its insulating sheath, and features a high-density braided shield structure to effectively block external noise. The sheath material is heat-resistant, oil-resistant, and flame-retardant, having passed the UL VW-1 vertical combustion test. It is also non-migratory, so there is no need to worry about color transfer to surrounding plastic products. In terms of installation, its flexibility (contortion) makes it easy to handle during wiring, and the use of a single-core intercooler makes end-finishing work such as cutting easy.

This is a wire harness for TE Connectivity's MTEI connector. The product shown in the image uses the 1-172052-6 receptacle for AWG24 wire and UL1007 AWG24 wire.

The TE Connectivity MTEI series is a wire-to-board connector that employs a master termination (bulk connection) method. The housing is pre-installed with displacement (IDC) receptacle contacts that allow connection without stripping the wire insulation, enabling the connection of multiple wires at once. The pressure required for connection is approximately 1/40th of that of conventional methods, contributing to improved work efficiency and productivity. The contact pitch is 2.5mm, and the housing color is identified according to the applicable wire size: AWG22 is red, AWG24 is black, AWG26 is natural color, and AWG28 is green. Two types are available: a standard type for cable terminals and a feed-through type for intermediate cable connections.
