Din rail connectors

[M107]

Somebody was asking a while ago about extending cables for relocation of a cu & Din rail connectors were given as an option.

By chance I had to use some today to extend the cabling of a fire stations tannoy system.....so for those that have never used or seen them;

nice job. better than jelly crimps

Very nice, were they the wago ones or another make?

 

[M107]

Not wago, I think they were some Italian manufaturer.

Nice job M I generally extend cables in a WP box but use wagos they certainly don't look very neat compared to your job.

are they all individual modules that fit side by side?

ive got to move an con unit about 2 ft lower and was going to use these and they look really tidy but not 100% what i need. i normally use wagos as batty but doesnt look as neat as mMs

are there end plates for each or just the last one?

just realised a forum sponsor sells them, is there a discount for forum members?

cheers wayne

the ones I've used are individual feed through modules.... so if you wanted to extend a ring final you would set up as follows;

Stop end / line terminal / neutral terminal / cpc terminal / 2nd line terminal / 2nd neutral terminal / 2nd cpc terminal / spacer terminal / next circuit - - - - when at end of din rail fit stop end.

You can also link multiple terminals to make a busbar, also what I didnt get in the pictures ere the circuit/name tags per terminal.

Wagos are good but if you have the room & are wanting to extend multiple circuits din rail feed through terminals are your neatest option.

I know that you will get discount on the actual Wagobox and Wago-light box mate (10%). But PM Ray & Paula and see what they say?
