DIN Rail box
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. http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/HGGD104E.html Is 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. -- Cheers Dave. |

Sounds like you're looking for a mini consumer unit eg: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CPD04P.html Junk the main switch and you'll have 6 ways. Maybe try CPC or Toolstation as an alternative. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |

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. -- Tim Watts |

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 http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/din-ra...ories/2821001/ -- (\_/) (='.'=) (")_(") |

And zillions of connector blocks and a mains relay - all to make a 'control centre' for the CH.. Got it from electrical factors. -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |

I use the ones CPC sell, but for relays, I tend to use the DIN rail mounting relays, which again CPC sell. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
