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, The Netherlands – July 6, 2011 – SABIC Innovative Plastics today announced third-party test results that validate the multiple sterilization capabilities of its remarkably tough Ultem* HU1004 polyetherimide (PEI) resin. This high-performance resin – previously utilized for other techniques and now tested for use with the STERRAD® NX® low-temperature hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization – gives healthcare providers the flexibility to choose any major method for sterilizing trays, electronic medical devices and other applications. The data revealed that Ultem HU1004 resin has significant performance and aesthetic advantages – in particular, ductility and color stability – over competitive materials such as polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) that are used for STERRAD® NX® sterilization. Ultem HU1004 resin’s validation underscores SABIC Innovative Plastics’ commitment to providing its healthcare customers with the highest quality materials to meet their needs for process simplification and performance.
