Need to mount small plastic enclosures on DIN rails?

By Carolyn Mathas, contributing writer

It’s common for electronics applications to require the mounting of small plastic enclosures for a variety of installations. OKW Enclosures Inc. just launched two adapter solutions that enable any small plastic enclosure to be mounted on a DIN rail to save space and speed up the installation process.

The B6811751  DIN rail adapter fits TH35, TH15, and G32 DIN rails and can be attached to the back of an enclosure with a wall thickness of 3 mm using only two screws supplied by OKW. The adapter is molded from PA 66 (UL 94 V-0) and comes in black (RAL 9005) as standard.

A variety of small plastic enclosures can now be easily mounted on DIN rails with OKW’s adapters.

The second adapter is available in two color options: the B1300017  in off-white and the B1300019  in black. They both fit TH35 and G32 rails, and the fastening element is supplied with two screws that fit 3-mm boreholes. This model of adapter is molded from PA 6, with both colors as standard. It is designed for use with OKW’s IP 66 ROBUST-BOX and TOPTEC universal plastic enclosures. They can also be fitted to other OKW housings, such as the new EVOTEC designer table-top enclosures.

The new adapters are suitable for a wide range of electronics applications including automation, Industry 4.0/smart factory, building and safety technology, HVAC, automatic timers, sensors, relays and lighting control, sub-rack interfaces, electronics modules, amplifiers, and transformers.

OKW also offers customization services for plastic enclosures including CNC machining, custom colors and finishes, photo-quality décor foils, RFI/EMI shielding, and installation and assembly, as well as digital, screen, or tamp legend and logo printing. For more information, visit OKW .
