DIN Rail box

Sep 11, 2012 6 Replies

Linking loosely back to the current switch thread and me remembering I have a load of DIN rail mount relays that will do what I want I'm struggling to find a nice box to stick 'em in.

ugly and the relays would poke out through the hole. Are there any "nice" (as in white and plastic) boxes with DIN rails and lid that will take half a dozen relays about 3/4" (1 module?) wide. The lid could be transparent as the relays have LEDs built in.


Google for Gewiss enclosures.

And the search eBay for the model you want.

Here is a stater for you

Sounds like you're looking for a mini consumer unit eg:

the main switch and you'll have 6 ways. Maybe try CPC or Toolstation as an alternative.

Your best bet would be to plough through the six million enclosures on the RS, Farnell or CPC websites - there are entire sections that are reasonably priced for a one off. Buy the DIN rail from the same place and make your own. You'll get exactly what you need.

Buy the spacers to lift the DIN rail off the enclosure bottom, too, or you won't be able to clip the modules onto the rail.

e.g. RS 282-1001

yes there are. I bought one and put my own DIN rails in. And zillions of connector blocks and a mains relay - all to make a 'control centre' for the CH..

Got it from electrical factors.

I use the ones CPC sell, but for relays, I tend to use the DIN rail mounting relays, which again CPC sell.
