Product Review

Use these sturdy brackets to mount devices to standard 35mm DIN rail. This item is a package of 10 clips. These are general-purpose clips constructed of glass-fiber reinforced Nylon material. They are designed to work with rail depths of 7.5mm or greater. Three bracket sizes are available. Installation and removal from the DIN rail are easy. When on the rail, the clip "grips" the rail on both the top and bottom lips of the rail. The "fixed" (not spring-loaded) tab of the clip should go on the top so that it bears the load. The spring-loaded tab should go on the bottom. To remove the DIN clip from the rail, simply push upwards on the DIN clip (thereby compressing the springs in the bottom), pivot the top of the clip off of the rail, and then move the whole clip down to also release the bottom of the clip. No screwdrivers or special tools are required. The mounting holes in this bracket are non-threaded; intended usage is for the screw to pass through the clip and thread into the device being mounted. The holes allow up to a #8 machine screw or a #6 sheet metal screw to pass through (a #8 sheet metal screw will NOT pass cleanly through the holes, although a #8 machine screw does fit). Note that the surface of the device being mounted to the DIN clip should be flat and cover the DIN clip in order to keep the springs and latch portion of the clip securely in place.
