Battery Holders
Manufactured from quality moulding and metal components to ensure a secure and reliable connection, Bulgin’s battery holder range caters for battery sizes 1/2AA, AAA(R03), AA(R6), C(R14), D(R20) and PP3(6R61), accommodating 1, 2, 3 or 4 cells.
There’s a choice of fixing styles including screw and flange panel fixing, PCB and base mounting versions.
The panel mounting versions are now available in two styles; standard fixing and front panel sealed to IP67, extending the applications into harsher external environments where dust or water would inhibit equipment operation.
The open frame styles are designed to be either PCB or base mounted and most have an interlocking facility to join adjacent holders together.
Principle applications include portable equipment and memory back-up
IP68 Buccaneer Connectors
A full range of IP68 rated environmentally sealed circular connectors designed to provide secure and safe connections in harsh or hostile conditions.
The multi-pole ranges consist of the miniature 400 Series, Mini, Standard and the 900 series. Screw terminations ensure simple 'field' connection, whilst crimp terminations fulfil the requirement for fast effective volume connections. Each range has flex cable connector, in-line flex cable connector and panel mounting connector options.
With a wide choice of alternatives from 2 to 25 poles, BNC connections and screw, solder or crimp terminations, the Buccaneer range provides the answer to many design problems.
The Data Buccaneer range now includes designs specifically for Ethernet, USB, SMB and FireWire applications. Ethernet Buccaneer meets Cat 5e requirements for data rates up to 100Mbs, USB Buccaneer is designed to meet USB version 2.0 specification for data rates up to 480Mbs, SMB Buccaneer has a frequency response up to 4GHz, and the FireWire Buccaneer meets IEEE1394a performance to 400Mbs.
The Buccaneer series finds numerous applications either in external or internal environments where protection against the ingress of dust and moisture is a system requirement.
IEC Connectors
A full range of quality mains rated inlets, outlets and connectors conforming to IEC and EN 60320 specifications carrying UL, CSA, VDE and other approvals. With electrical ratings up to 20A, 250V (UL) these connector ranges offer solutions to most mains powered equipment and cable applications. The combinations of mounting styles and terminations include: flange fixing, snap to panel and PCB mounting versions together with 2.8/solder tabs, 4.8 and 6.3 faston tabs, screw terminal and PC spill versions. Completing the range are insulating boots, retaining clips and safety covers.
In addition to the standard black moulding, most styles are also available in either white or grey and special colours to match OEM equipment can also be supplied.
Polysnap Connectors
With over 26,000 combinations Bulgin's Polysnap mains power inlet modules offer a very adaptable and flexible solution to panel design.
Polysnap allow combinations of mains inlets and outlets, filtered inlets, switches, fuseholders, voltage selectors, indicators and circuit breakers mounted in either horizontal or vertical format bezels ready for quick snap-fit assembly. The compact design occupies the minimum of panel area and a single rectangular mounting hole, offering easy installation for this mains power entry module.
To complement Polysnap the Polyflange range offers a flange fixing alternative for designers who prefer the security of screw fixing.
All types and variations are available through Bulgin's extensive distribution network.
General Connectors
This long established series of connectors still find many uses where small, but lower current connections are needed. The range consists of circular and rectangular styles with 3, 4, 6 and 8 poles, in a choice of configurations, with current ratings up to 6 Amps. The 8 pole round has become the standard connector for the disco and lighting industry and is available in cable and chassis mounting versions.
Main Filters
Designed to reduce conducted mains borne EMI, this extensive range provides many solutions to EMI problems. To meet individual design requirements the filters are available with two attenuation options - standard and medical. Current ratings are from 1 to 10 amps with single or twin fused types also available. The choice of mounting options will suit most applications with flange, snap to panel or base/bulkhead.
Fuseholders
Bulgin's extensive range of fuseholders are designed to give the degree of protection demanded in today's sophisticated electronic equipment. Carrying world-wide safety approvals from UL, VDE, CSA, SEMKO and IMQ, all types are manufactured from high grade flame retardant nylon and polyester materials.
Designed primarily for 5 x 20mm and 6.3 x 32mm size fuses with protection against shock to categories PC1, PC2 and PC3. There's a choice of styles for in-line, PCB mounting and panel mounting (screw or snap fit) with terminal options for solder, 2.8mm, 4.8mm or 6.3mm tabs or PC spills.
Dust and waterproof designs provide a front of panel seal to IP68 in both 5 x 20mm and 6.3 x 32mm size fuses.
Fuse carrier styles include captive drawer, screw cap - with screw driver release, bayonet cap - with screw driver release and screw cap - with finger release.
Indicators
This range of panel mounting LED indicators consists of many different bezel styles, types of LED’s and colours. The range has developed to meet the many different needs of panel design including IP67 environmentally sealed versions for use where a front panel seal is needed.
The vandal resistant LED indicators are designed to complement the vandal resistant switches they have similar profiles with stainless steel bodies, sealing to IP66 & 68 and are built to withstand harsh environments.
Switches
Manufactured from Stainless Steel, Bulgin's extensive range of vandal resistant security switches are designed with a high resistance to wear and tear, corrosion and harsh use in potentially hostile environments such as access control applications.
The front and rear panel mounted versions have three profiles - prominent, domed and low profile - with a choice of switching and IP66 & 68 front panel sealing that, combined together, meet the ergonomic, electrical and environmental demands of switch panel design. And where the ultimate strength of steel is not needed, there is a brass, chrome plated alternative. The low profile style switches are now also available with a latching, push on - push off, action.
The illuminated versions, available in dot and ring indication and a variety of illumination colours, are new to the range and will add that extra dimension to control panel layouts.
Other switch types include conventional push-button and toggle switches.
