After years of consolidation, the through-hole reflow (THR) method has clearly established itself as the optimal processing method for soldering relays to a PC board. Compared to SMD mounting, the technical advantages of THR include shock and vibration resistance, especially over the long run. The availability of the time-tested CP relay as a power type, combined with a PiP (Pin-in-Paste) design suited for reflow soldering, systematically expands the automotive product portfolio of Panasonic Electric Works Europe AG.
The LP-S series laser marker, thrilling the automotive industry
Based on demands resulting from numerous discussions with various companies in the automotive industry, Panasonic developed the LP-S series laser marker. Now after several months of operation in the field, the feedback is excellent: the technical advances are fulfilling expectations for metal processing in the automotive industry. Features such as the detachable optical fiber cable help simplify integration, the laser head's IP67G degree of protection allows it to be used in harsh environments, and the laser's high power and adjustable pulse cycle assure excellent marking results.
Panasonic's new latching DW relay
The DW relay was developed especially for digital, electronic smart meters. To save energy, a latching relay is necessary. The DW relay fulfills all demands of this market. Under the motto "eco ideas", Panasonic hence contributes to the development of efficient, energy-saving smart meters. Besides the market for smart meters, in particular the switching of heater circuit-breakers, the DW relay is suited for many more applications.
Visualizing process data in the Web with Panasonic technology
To visualize data in the Internet, Panasonic now offers not only the necessary hardware (FP Web-Server with expansion unit) but also software fine-tuned to work with the hardware (FP Web-Designer, FP Web-Configurator). Using the multifunctional FP Web-Server unit, you can access Panasonic PLCs via Ethernet networks (Internet, Intranet), exchange data bidirectionally, send data via e-mail or FTP, or display data on Web pages.
