Hylec APL Ltd

Hylec-APL is launching a range of isolation switch boxes at Elex, the professional electrician and installers’ show at Sandown Park. On Stand B24, visitors can see AC and DC models from the ISOLATOR range, which boasts the best price/performance ratio on the UK market, providing fast electrical isolation for multiple applications, including industrial machinery, commercial buildings, power supplies, security equipment and HVAC.

Hylec-APL has announced a 20mm diameter member of its venting element family which protects sensitive circuitry from the effects of moisture. When an enclosure is exposed to changing temperatures, the air inside will expand and contract as it heats and cools respectively. As the air contracts, the internal pressure decreases and air is forced in. This air contains moisture which can condense causing damage to electrical and electronic systems.

In any machine or system, some components are more important than others. However, sometimes the importance of a particular part is underappreciated; a typical example being an electrical enclosure, where it is usually a false economy to go for the poor quality option.

Hylec-APL has launched the smallest IP68 junction box available on the market. The discrete, gel filled mini-Paguro allows users to make a completely waterproof connection quickly, with a footprint not much wider than the cable itself.

Rainwater harvesting is an efficient method for both businesses and private households to retain an independent water supply for use when restrictions are levied. With hosepipe bans in place across many parts of the country, despite heavy rainfall, now more than ever harvesting systems are proving their worth.

In-line electrical connectors that offer high ingress protection are historically awkward and cumbersome to install. Before the connection can be made wires need to be passed through large, protective outer casings which require tooling to secure; this often means that the connectors will not fit into tight spaces to form a discrete connection. Fortunately Hylec-APL has launched a new IP68 connector whose diameter is smaller than a 50p piece.

One of the world’s leading design and manufacturers of large aquaria was recently looking for simple electrical connection systems to provide secure, waterproof protection. Traditional industrial connectors are extremely bulky which is compromising to a tank’s aesthetics and time consuming to install. Fortunately Hylec-APL, a leading UK electrical component manufacturer and supply specialist, was able to offer a discreet, simple IP68 plug and socket solution which fitted their requirements perfectly.

Hylec-APL has expanded its range of weatherproof products to include the latest ‘one-size-fits-all’ Paguro junction box. The small sized junction box, utilizes an innovative adaptor which allows it to accommodate a wide range of cable diameters whilst still maintaining good cable retention. The junction box comes ready packaged with a silicone sealing gel to ensure that it offers IP68 protection.

Hylec-APL has launched a new series of control stations to complement its existing range of connectors, terminal blocks and junction boxes. Manufactured and assembled by Hylec-APL company DE Controls, the new registered design control stations combine tough IP67 enclosures with hard wearing push button and selector switches. Most items in the large range can be fitted with the unique snap-on brackets for quick and easy wall, chassis and DIN rail mounting.

Hylec-APL has expanded on its already wide range of cable glands with the introduction of the Kwik Fix range. Designed for use in applications where access to the interior of a bulkhead or enclosure is restricted, the Kwik Fix can be used to form a quick, IP68 connection. Especially suitable for use with Switch Cabinets and cooling and heating systems, the Kwik Fix can reduce installation time which will increase profitability.

UK volume electrical and electronic component supplier, Hylec-APL, has expanded its innovative range of Weatherproof plug and socket TeePlug connectors with a quick installation, wire piercing model. The wire piercing TeePlug can be installed at any point along an electrical cable with no preparation or tools required and offers up to IP65 protection.

Hylec-APL, a leading bulk supplier of electrical and electronic components, has introduced a new design of weatherproof plug-socket. The TeePlug cable connector is a quick anchoring plug designed for mounting on flat or curved surfaces. The plug can be fitted and anchored without access to the rear of the panel and offers IP67 ingress protection.

For applications that require a range of cables to enter a junction box or enclosure, Hylec-APL has introduced a cable entry plate that can significantly speed-up the wiring process and cut costs. The plate can be built-up using a range of pre-formed push-fit IP65 cable entry options, allowing custom combinations of cable entries in one enclosure. The big news is that the entire design and build process can be carried out using a new photorealistic 3D application on the company’s website.

Hylec-APL has created a special offers section on its website, www.hylec-apl.com to help new and existing customers find the very best deals on electronic and electrical components. The page is just one click away at all times when on the Hylec site and has a wide range of products available for bulk supply including: electro-mechanical and PCB connectors, weatherproof connectors, cable glands and grommets.

For applications that require a range of cables to enter a junction box or cabinet, Hylec-APL has introduced a cable entry plate that can significantly speed-up the wiring process and cut costs. The plate incorporates a range of pre-formed push-fit IP65 cable entry points as standard, but can also be ordered with custom combinations of cable entries to easily accommodate a diverse set of cable entries

Hylec-APL, has introduced a new series of high-output LEDs to compliment its existing range of lighting equipment and accessories. Aimed primarily at OEMs and distributors the LEDs provide low power requirements and high reliability with a very high luminosity. LEDs are used in many applications from backlighting for signs to the newest supercars. The LEDs have a low thermal resistance compared to traditional variations and are available in a range of colours.

Hylec-APL, specialist supplier of electrical and electronic components, is launching a new surface mount junction box supplied complete with terminal block, designed to provide convenience and safety for in-line connections. The compact enclosure is supplied with a 3 pole terminal block and all the necessary screws and fixing hardware necessary to create a quick & safe connection.
