Make future boards "Din Rail" mount compatible
-
Hi,
when starting with the layout of new duet-pcb´s (like the new "maestro" a.k.a. duet3-mini...) please consider the formfator to be easily mountable on din-rails (e.g. 35 mm standard rail) without having to make an adapter plate like this:
a lot of companies, e.g. DELOCK (I am by no means affiliated with them) have a selection of nice pcb-to-din adapters like these here:
https://www.delock.de/produkte/suchen.html?suchen=DIN+rail+clip+for+PCB&search=
(sadly they do NOT seem to be flame retardant, the only flame retardant I found easily where those e.g.: https://www.reichelt.de/hutschienenhalteklammern-18-mm-10-stueck-apra-442-311-30-p247961.html?&trstct=pol_69&nbc=1 or those https://www.camdenboss.com/camden-boss/cdr-bracket-din-rail-mounting-bracket/c-23/p-16624)would be great to have either the mounting holes or the length/width compatible with some standard din mounting clips
Meanwhile I will make my adapter-board by bying a cheap FR-4 raw plate and drilling a few holes... (because it is flame retardant and not anyone can print themselves adapters in flame retardant material...)
Cheers
EDIT:
Now have a good and raesonable price for FR4 plates on the bay and in combination with the nice brackets from camdenboss via its german reseller I think I am happy for now because i can mount the board on 15&35-rails with it with not much work and money spent and it does the job.
Would be cool if the boards would fit directly into one of these e.g. https://www.camdenboss.com/camden-boss/enclosures/din-rail-enclosures/din-rail-pcb-supports/c-23/c-494 but since I have a workaround it is O.K. for me
Consider this solved
