New DIN rail mounting terminal blocks provide connections outside the box

CamdenBoss has launched a new range of high quality rising clamp DIN Rail mounting terminal blocks that provide a quick and effective means of making pluggable connections into DIN Rail enclosures while saving valuable PCB real estate inside the enclosure. By using DIN Rail mounting terminal blocks, customers can make connections independently of the various DIN Rail units within a given system. As well as giving installers the flexibility of being able to place the DIN Rail terminal blocks anywhere on the rail, Their new range also possesses another unique feature: the ability to unclip and reverse the orientation of the terminal block if necessary. This means that the installation can be rearranged for easier access once complete – a big advantage particularly during field installations – and ensures that easy access is retained even in the most cramped of applications even if units are added later. Fitting terminal blocks to the DIN Rail is straightforward – two mounting adaptors are simply clipped into place where required and the terminal block clips onto these with a positive click to hold them firmly. Reversing the terminal block is equally simple: by applying pressure to the two clips, the terminal block can be removed by sliding upwards. The blocks are available in 5mm and 5.08mm pitch versions in both flanged and non-flanged options from six to 24 poles. Both vertically and horizontally-oriented versions are available and the DIN Rail mount is compatible with both 35mm top hat and 32mm G-rail as standard. Applications include lighting controllers, building management systems, energy management, power supplies, heating and air conditioning controllers, civil and industrial electrical installations and telecommunications.
