In summary . . .

The Stuttgart Battery Show stand was extremely well received. It was a great opportunity to present the benefits of our exciting range of Durakool switching solutions.

Durakool teamed up for the first time with TMS Elektronik Limited at EV Charge in Istanbul. Much interest was generated in the Durakool brand and the exciting range of switching solutions we offer, particularly for EV and renewable energy applications 

Solsta featured Durakool onstand K2 and Rob, Carlos and Gerrit-Willem were all on hand to answer questions and offer support to engineers looking for advice and expertise on designing HV switches into their applications.

Gerrit-Willem Prins and Carlos Mendes were at Battery Tech Expo, Sweden, at the end of September 2023, in the exhibitors hall presenting Durakool HVDC relay, resistor and contactor solutions and helping engineers with their switching design queries.

Durakool announced their new high voltage switching DC contactors for superior isolation, improved reliability and longer service life, at The Battery Show Europe earlier this week. Visitors also took the opportunity to meet with our experts and receive help and advice with using employing our switching technologies to maximise the efficiency of their designs.

Durakool's announcement at Novi's Battery Show of the expansion of both their Pre-Charge Resistor range and their HVDC Ceramic Contactor range was well received, with visitors coming specifically to the stand to meet the team and learn more. 

AEC hosted a Durakool Relays & Contactors Technical Seminar during the Battery Show at Novi Michigan this year and also promoted many of our Automotive relays and contactors on their stand. The show was a great success and Durakool expect to have their own stand there in 2023.

A big thank you from Durakool, for the conscientious and industrious efforts of American Electronic Components Inc. (AEC), and their distributors and representatives, who met at EDS Leadership Summit in Las Vegas.

A successful show for Steatite at The Battery Expo Silverstone, with a great deal of interest in their high capacity power sytems for industrial and military UAVs and in our Durakool relays and contactors for HVDC applications.

Another successful show for Durakool at Electronica 2022 in Munich. Valuable time spent with many of our customers and helping those seeking engineering design support, demonstrating our products and extolling the virtues of the Durakool range and our first-rate service.

A range of our Durakool relays and contactors were displayed on the Solid State Supplies Limited stand at the 2022 Engineering Design show in Coventry along with our NEW line of Durakool Pre-charge and Discharge Resistors. Our engineers were on hand to offer help with designs and explain our product offering.

New from Durakool, the latest Durakool Industrial Relay Sockets Catalogue. Take a look at our new 28 page catalogue, a comprehensive guide to point you in the right direction for the industrial socket suited to the relay you need to use. Sockets that punch above their weight!

Don't forget our excellent performance DG85D 100A/12VDC Automotive Relay industry standard mini ISO, ideal for DC motor control air conditioning! It provides high continuous DC current capacity – at 50K operations the switching capability of the DG85D is 100A/12VDC at 85°C.

Many of our industrial & automotive plug in relays have matching Durakool Sockets. On our individual relay product pages the corresponding relay socket for that product can be found at the bottom of the key features list. If you require guidance please call us, we are here to help.

A reminder that our Durakool industry standard Plug-in Relays are ideal for control panels. Designed for mounting in Durakool Sockets, the Durakool DX2, DX3 & DX4 Series provide a secure grip in the socket ensuring high reliability and superior low level signal performance.
