The SNAP TEX family of mounting and wiring accessories was created to address these issues. The line is designed to significantly reduce the time, expense and complexity associated with field instrumentation wiring and control cabinet assembly. These mounting and wiring accessories include a variety of terminal extender cables, breakout boards, wiring harnesses, DIN-rail kits, jumper straps, rack adapters, and other components for mounting and wiring the company’s automation, control, and I/O systems. SNAP TEX cables are six feet (1.8 m) long jacketed, pre-wired cables that provide neat, bundled connections from analog and digital I/O modules to field devices, terminal strips and breakout boards. They snap neatly into the tops of I/O modules and terminate with color-coded flying leads, pre-stripped and tipped, ready for wiring. The SNAP-TEX-32 is a 32-channel breakout board with straight-through connections, designed primarily for use with the aforementioned cables and analog or digital I/O modules. The SNAP-TEX-FB16-H and SNAP-TEX-FB16-L breakout boards offer 16-channel terminations and provide a fuse and a fuse-blown indicator for each channel, and facilitate 120-240V and 12-24V respectively. With the use of an external power supply, these breakout boards also bus power to loads. The SNAP-TEX-MR10-16 and SNAP-TEX-MR10-4 breakout boards are designed for high-current output switching. These boards feature mechanical relays that switch up to 10 amps per channel, expanding the switching ability of standard SNAP I/O modules by 13 times.

Laser Direct Structuring (LDS)—The structure of the conductor path is applied using the LDS process. LDS enables electronic assemblies to be made in flexible geometric shapes. Smart phones, hearing aids, and smart watches are becoming smaller and more powerful thanks to this process.
Electronic Assemblies Without PCBs
Laser direct structuring (LDS) is a special success story. For almost 20 years, it has been possible to apply electronic conductor paths directly onto plastic parts during series production.
