New Product: Rocker Switches
The JWL Series of dc-rated power rocker switches, rated at TV-8, handle large inrush currents.

The switches have an interior polyphenylenesulfide seal between the actuator and contact area to resist dust. External insulating barriers increase insulation resistance and dielectric strength. The switch housing and case are heat-resistant polyamide. Molded-in and epoxy-sealed terminals resist dust and flux and are designed to break light contact welds. The switches are rated at 16 A at 125/250 Vac with a 5 A at 72-Vdc rating for applications such as a power-distribution switch, can exceed a 160-A inrush load, and can be specified with integrated flat or barrier flanges. Optional accessories include a watertight boot and dust cover.

NKK Switches, 7850 E. Gelding Dr., Scottsdale, AZ 85260, (480) 991-0942, nkkswitches.com

NI Lithium-Ion Battery Measurement
Today's current and future electric vehicles rely on high-power batteries to store the massive amounts of electricity needed to drive many miles on a single charge. These batteries are composed of hundreds or even thousands of individual cells stacked together at voltages over 300V. When designing and building a high voltage battery pack, engineers need to be able to test and measure the individual...
