Guaranteeing a reliable power supply over four decades
Since 1971, well over a hundred million of Hirschmann™’s ST-series connectors have been produced. Still retaining practically the same original design, these connectors are used to provide power for electric awnings, blinds and shutters. The maximum rated voltage is AC 400 V/DC 250 V, with a rated current of up to AC 16 A/DC 10 A. Because the connectors are reliable, easy to install and have a long operational life they have become the standard for a wide range of applications including mechanical engineering, lighting technology and the medical sectors. This is why the ST-series remains an important part of the connector program and will continue to be further developed if necessary.

BERGEN OP ZOOM, Países Bajos – 23 de agosto de 2011 – La resina Xenoy iQ* de la unidad de negocios estratégica Innovative Plastics de SABIC, elegida por Ford para el sistema de seguridad de los peatones de su vehículo multipropósito (MPV) C-MAX 2011, ha ayudado al fabricante de automóviles a lograr la calificación de cinco estrellas de la organización independiente de seguridad Euro NCAP (Programa Europeo de Evaluación de Automóviles Nuevos). El sistema de seguridad para los peatones del C-MAX incluye un novedoso diseño de bandeja inferior/protector de la parte inferior de las piernas fabricado con la resina de Xenoy iQ de SABIC. Las propiedades físicas inherentes de la resina Xenoy iQ la convierten en un material muy adecuado para el sistema de seguridad de los peatones del Ford C-MAX. Las propiedades superiores de ductilidad y gran resistencia a los impactos de la resina, combinadas con el diseño de la pieza, proporcionan la absorción de energía necesaria para mejorar la protección frente a un impacto en la parte inferior de la pierna. La resina también se ajusta a la perfección con el compromiso de Ford con la sustentabilidad, ya que aúna sus propiedades termoplásticas con una huella de carbono extremadamente baja. En términos generales, la aplicación de la resina Xenoy iQ en este caso demuestra cómo SABIC combina la respuesta a las necesidades en cuanto a responsabilidad ambiental con un rendimiento excepcional.
