Solsta
About us
Solsta is excited to introduce Wain Electrical, a leading manufacturer of standard and custom industrial connector solutions for applications from PCB data connections to large-scale equipment systems. Wain rectangular connectors and cable assemblies address the technical demands of data transmission rates, electromagnetic interference, sealing and resistance to chemical corrosion and offer durability against wear, extreme temperature fluctuations, pressure and vibration.
Our dedicated sourcing team guarantees a cost-effective, reliable supply of franchised components. To help you navigate the current memory crisis, we have partnerships with industry-leading memory manufacturers and are currently supported with allocation and pricing where possible. Come and talk to our sourcing team about your open demand and planned projects - early conversations can help lock in supply and mitigate further cost increases.
Demanding defence and space applications need High-Reliability solutions. Our broad Hi-Rel portfolio meets the stringent requirements of the harshest environments. Solsta’s Special Projects division offers UK-based design and manufacturing services for the defence sector, and Solsta has all of the relevant registrations and accreditations for supply of defence, space and hi-rel solutions.
Solsta is a technical, franchised distributor with a broad portfolio of components, modules and system solutions from leading technology suppliers plus value-add and manufacturing services. Solsta’s Special Projects division in Weymouth offers design and manufacturing services covering thermal and optical sensing, illumination and beam manipulation, analogue driver and detection circuitry, optomechanical assemblies, display technologies and embedded control. We also provide value-added services including device programming, tape & reeling, bake & seal and long-term storage.
Products & services
Digi XBee Modules
Digi XBee® modules provide wireless connectivity in a range of protocols and form factors to support today’s low-power applications. Easy-to-deploy, pre-certified, and configurable using Digi XCTU, the Digi XBee Mobile App and Digi Remote Manager® (Digi RM), these low-cost modules support all of your wireless design requirements.
Digi XBee Industrial Gateway
Programmable gateway connects Digi XBee enabled devices to remote applications over cellular or Ethernet Digi XBee® Industrial Gateway is a rugged Digi XBee to IP solution. Ideal for any environment, the gateway has an extended temperature range and rugged enclosure. Digi XBee Industrial Gateway features scalable remote configuration and management of Digi XBee networks. By default, all Digi XBee data sent to the gateway is automatically available to online applications via Digi Remote Manager®. With a simple, open-source Python development environment, this gateway also enables custom applications to run locally while interfacing across existing Ethernet or cellular networks for WAN connectivity to cloud-based applications. Digi XBee Gateway products can be managed remotely via Digi Remote Manager, supporting features like remote firmware upgrades, configuration changes and event alarms. With Digi Remote Manager, users can efficiently scale their network from a single device to hundreds of thousands of remote devices. Features – Open-source Python environment for custom application development on the gateway – Out-of-box integration with Digi Remote Manager® enables remote connectivity, configuration and management of Digi XBee networks – ZigBee enabled for connection to local wireless devices – Cellular and Ethernet WAN options for flexible broadband connectivity – Can be deployed in any environment due to industrial temp range and rugged enclosure – Digi Foundations™ 1-, 3- and 5-year subscription available
Custom Geometries from Ferrite Block
Custom core geometries can be machined from blocks with help from our 3-axis machines and close partnerships with suppliers of raw material – we work with some of the biggest names in ferrite, including TDK, Ferroxcube, Fair-Rite and Magnetics Inc. Stocking a wide range of block sizes allows us to choose the most appropriate material to machine each custom geometry. This is a cost-effective alternative to paying for a mould tool and pressing/sintering the custom geometries which can cost £1000’s per tool, we also offer rapid turnaround.
Toroid Splitting, Rod Cutting and Machining
A toroid can be split into two halves for easy installation around existing high-voltage wires. Custom jigs and cutting discs ensure precise machining with minimal damage using 3-axis milling machines. Similarly, rods can be machined to any required length using specialised cutting wheels and jigs, providing a clean finish and versatile fit for various applications.
Ferrite Lapping and Glued Ferrite
Lapping removes material from ferrite surfaces to create a flat face, reducing residual air gaps and increasing core inductance, further enhanced by a mirror finish. Ferrite gluing enables larger, bespoke parts by combining blocks of material, with high-temperature-resistant glue expanding project possibilities.
