Camden Electronics' range of DIN rail mounting supports offers versions sporting double width side elements and integral DIN rail mounting foot elements that enable easy assembly and reduce the number of parts required during assembly, yielding significant savings on production costs. The CIME/M series offers modular construction, easy snap-fit assembly and are suitable for mounting 72mm wide PCBs. The range has two side elements of 22.5 and 11.25mm wide.

In many configurations this eliminates the need for one centre element, reducing the total number of parts required.

So, for short module assemblies, customers benefit from a greater variety of combinations using fewer elements.

The DIN rail mounting supports offer a further time-saving enhancement with the side elements incorporating the DIN rail mounting foot element in the same moulding.

The supports are moulded in self-extinguishing UL94V0 industry standard green polyamide 66 and are available in grey or black on request.

The supports are ideal for use in any application where a PCB assembly needs to be DIN rail mounted including control panels, power supplies, transformers, PLC/photoelectric interfaces, safety and monitoring modules, alarm monitoring, overvoltage protection, data recording, lightning protection, fuse holders, relay modules and optocouplers to name just a few.

Besides saving assembly time and costs, the innovative registered design of the supports has enabled Camden to reduce the prices of its DIN rail mouldings by around 10 to 15%.

The combination of lower piece part costs, wider side components and integral foot elements allows customers to make significant savings in production costs.

Camden Electronics' new DIN rail mounting supports are available from the company and its franchised distributors including CPC, Rapid, Arrow Electronics, JPR Electronics and Azcon Component Solutions.
