DIN Rail Guide
Learn about the wide variety of components that will fit on DIN rail and how it can be used with Phidgets boards.
Terminal blocks are used to connect multiple wires together into a single node more securely than a marrette but without the hassle of soldering. This specific unit works for 24-12AWG wire and a maximum of 20A. It comes as a pack of 5 blocks with a jumper bar so you can connect several together into a larger terminal if you'd like. You can cut the jumper bar with typical wire cutters if you want to jumper fewer than all 5 together. The plastic label strip can also be applied so you can label each terminal for ease of understanding later.
The terminals are closed with a simple flathead screwdriver.
These terminal blocks snap directly onto any EN50022 standard DIN rail.
This terminal block is designed to snap onto a piece of 35mm DIN rail. You can find some below:
