Compact DIN rail housings for a range of electronics solutions

16 June 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services Products & Solutions

The ME MAX housings from Phoenix Contact mark a new standard in rail-mounting electronic housings: they feature compact dimensions but still leave a lot of room for custom electronics. In addition, a larger front surface is provided for connectors with high numbers of pins as well as operating and control elements below the hinged see-through cover.

The company says these enclosures have signal and supply voltages that are conveniently and cost-effectively looped through a mounting rail bus connection, which is clipped onto the DIN rail. Single devices can therefore now be locked into position or removed from the network in the usual way. This means that the signal chain remains unbroken.

The most important features of these electronics housings include the modular housing design which can be extended from 17,5 to 45 mm in width; the mixed fixed connection and plug connection technology with up to three connection levels; as well as plug connection technology in screw, spring and quick connection form. Furthermore, other industrial plug connectors such as D-SUB and RJ-45 are easy to integrate.
