C&K Adds Low-Cost 10MM Rotary Dip Switches for Address Switching, Data Storage and Instrumentation Applications
Sept 5, 2019
C&K announces the launch of its CRE series of low-cost 10mm coded rotary DIP switches.
The CRE series is available with a number of different actuators, including flush, extended and protrusion screw types, giving customers increased flexibility. The switches are ideal for a range of applications, including address switching, data storage devices, computers, their peripherals and instrumentation.
C&K’s new series of switches are process sealed, so they withstand soldering, and are suitable for flux cleaning – making them well-suited for use in harsh environments. The CRE switches are engineered to be compact to save space, are available with 4, 6, 8, 10 or 16 positions and are available in through hole and surface mount versions.
The switches have a mechanical and electrical life of 10,000 cycles. They are RoHS compliant, with an operating temperature range of -20ºC to +85ºC and will be available to purchase beginning in August 2019.

Most of us take light for granted. It has become so ubiquitous and cheap to use that we don’t really stop to think about emergencies. Thankfully most buildings are required by law since 1974 to be equipped with emergency lighting that automatically activates during power failures to facilitate our exit.
Emergency lighting is only one component of a building’s life safety systems, but perhaps one of the most important.

Open office design has exploded in popularity over the last 20 years. In fact, the New Yorker magazine claims that approximately 70% of all offices now have an open floor plan.[1]
How did we get here?
Although open offices have been around since the mid-1700s, the cubicle culture developed by Hermann Miller in 1964 became very popular in the 1980s and 1990s. By the early 2000s, open office design started to re-emerge in an effort to encourage more collaboration and Silicon Valley was among the first to embrace sleek, open office workspaces as the norm.

Network crews were working in an electrical room tasked to install an 800 A disconnect for a temporary service on the network secondary. The 3-spot network was energized at 480 V on the secondary (34.5 kV on the primary) and all three network protectors were closed and serving load. Each network protector installed was a 3000 A, 480 V Eaton CM52 unit equipped with an Arcflash Reduction Maintenance SystemE (ARMS). Prior to performing their work, crews enabled the ARMS function on all three units in the spot. This put all three network protectors in a “hair-trigger” mode, ready to clear any current condition that exceeded 2.5x the nameplate rating.
