ATEX & Hazardous Areas

Cathodic protection (CP) systems are used to protect critical infrastructure from corrosion on projects globally. Although designing CP systems can often be a simple task, it gets much more complicated if the system is intended for use in hazardous environments housing volatile materials where excess voltages and currents could spark …

D-Subminiature electrical connectors, commonly known as D-Subs, have been around for decades, and are often used in everything from military, space, commercial aerospace, medical, industrial and transport applications. Because of their versatility, many engineers often misjudge D-Sub connectors, dismissing them as a jack of all trades and master of none. …

ION Science is committed to protecting lives and preserving the environment by offering pioneering gas sensing technology that monitors and improves air quality. Two key air quality pollutants that ION can detect are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Particulate Matter (PM). Particulate matter pollution is an enormous problem across the …

Molex has introduced the Super-Safeway Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) industrial-duty product at the 2023 International Production & Processing Expo (booth C13103).
