Snap-fit DIN rail enclosures at Electronica
Camden Electronics is launching a number of new DIN rail mounting products at Electronica 2002 (12th-15th November, Munich).
Fused terminal blocks with UL approval
Two new fused terminal blocks have been introduced by Camden Electronics.
Unlike competitive products, Camden's new patent-pending DIN rail mounting enclosures are fully UL94V0 flame retardant as they are moulded in polycarbonate instead of Noryl and other lower grade materials.
Seven versions are available offering lengths of 17.5, 36, 53, 71, 89, 106 and 160mm, all 90mm wide.
Offering greater versatility, Camden's new design features a number of enhancements to make mounting of PCBs easier.

Sealed lead-acid batteries are UL approved
Camden Electronics has introduced its upgraded and enhanced Eleckson range of sealed lead acid batteries, the UL-approved Europa Plus family.
These include 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.
A further enhancement is that the enclosure base is fully sealed with none of the holes that are found on competing products.
This avoids the need for any insulating pads and reduces assembly costs for users.
The design of the enclosure is such that all tabs on the body have been eliminated to avoid small lugs that might break off.
Standard colour is grey (RAL 7035) although Camden can supply mouldings in black, green, red or blue for volume orders.
In addition, the company can incorporate ventilation slots in its tooling for volume customers to avoid the need for machining by the end user.
Besides reducing costs for the end user this facility also results in a stronger moulding compared to a similar enclosure with machined ventilation slots.
A range of standard snap-in panel covers in grey, transparent red or clear is available with a new polarisation feature that ensures correct mounting.
The enclosures can also be supplied with a moulded top panel that can be screen printed and also enables the transparent red or clear snap-in panels to be mounted with a label underneath for example.
Additional special features include snap-on terminal covers to IP20 finger protection with perforated screwdriver and wire entry holes and tabs as standard and spring loaded DIN rail clips that can be snapped open to allow chassis/surface mounting.
Camden can also supply an optional adapter for G-rail mounting.
Terminal covers and snap-in panels can also be provided to customer specifications for volume orders.
Other optional special features include alternative black higher rated RTI material and EMC shielded metallic coated boxes.
