General Description

Use these sturdy universal DIN rail mounting plates to mount devices to standard DIN rail. Many devices are not designed for DIN rail mounting, but these adapter plates solve that problem. They feature a flat plate mounting surface to which you can mount your device, and a metal DIN rail bracket on the back of the plate secures the plate to the DIN rail. See the application photos for example installations.

The mounting plate is made of sturdy 0.125" thick FR4 material (glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material). A sturdy steel DIN rail bracket comes installed on the back of the adapter plate. For reference, the steel bracket component is our part number DINM21, which may be purchased alone if you desire the bracket without the adapter plate.

These adapter plates are alternately known as DIN rail mounting plates, DIN rail brackets, etc. Several other styles of DIN rail brackets are available here.

Plate Options

This product is available with two different plate options:

• Solid Plate (DINP01-4040A): Drill mounting holes in this plate to match the mounting holes in your device. Note that the outline of the metal DIN rail bracket is shown on the front of the adapter plate; this aids in avoiding the metal DIN clip when drilling mounting holes for your device.
• Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes (DINP01-4040B): This plate has 36 pre-drilled mounting holes. You can use these holes to install your device, or, with the assistance of a cable tie (sold separately), use them to provide strain relief for your wires.

Installation and Removal

These DIN rail adapter plates are easily attached and detached from the DIN rail. When on the rail, the bracket latches to the rail on both the top and bottom lips of the rail. The bracket should be oriented such that the "fixed" (non spring-loaded) end of the bracket mounts to the top of the DIN rail, thus allowing the fixed end to bear the load. The spring-loaded sliding hooks will then grip the bottom of the DIN rail. This arrangement provides the greatest rigidity and load capacity.

There are two methods for removing the adapter plate from the DIN rail:

• Release Handle: Pull the release handle from the bottom, or push it from the top (both ends are part of the same sliding mechanism). This releases the sliding hooks gripping the bottom of the rail and allows the bottom edge of the bracket to swing out away from the DIN rail. The entire bracket can then be lifted off the DIN rail.
• Lift & Pivot: Perhaps the simplest method is to push up on the mounted device, pivot the top of the device out away from the rail, and lower the entire device off the rail. This technique does not require access to the release slide and is thus very convenient.
