New extension module for DIN rail enclosures

17 November 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Camden Electronics has introduced a new extended height module and curved cover options for its range of DIN rail mounting enclosures. The new extension module adds 15 mm to the height of the original enclosure and enables two additional PCBs to be mounted horizontally. It simply snap fits to the top of existing enclosures enabling additional space to accommodate larger components and sub-assemblies where necessary.

Like the original enclosures, the new extension module is moulded from Lexan polycarbonate to ensure the finished moulding fully meets UL94V0 flame retardancy ratings. The curved covers are designed to provide improved aesthetic appeal for the enclosures and offer an enhanced look that allows customers to deliver their systems in housings that appear to be custom designed rather than a standard box from any supplier. They are available in solid grey, clear, red transparent and smoky grey transparent.

Seven versions are available offering lengths of 17,5, 36, 53, 71, 89, 106 and 160 mm all 90 mm wide. Offering greater versatility, Camden's design features PCB guides to ensure boards are held in place firmly and moulded screw holes in the base to facilitate mounting of PCBs with heavier components such as relays or transformers. Up to three PCBs can be mounted horizontally while there are four mounting positions for vertical boards. The extension module adds two further horizontal positions.
