Testing, measuring, monitoring & control Take the bus… by rail!

Techna International has introduced the KS4400 Series of DIN-rail mounting enclosures, providing a distinctive design with a choice of cutting-edge terminal technology, and PCB space utilisation. One of eight enclosure ranges, the KS4400 has been developed for applications requiring a large PCB area, generous front-face and multiple poles, such as for converters and repeaters in industrial communications and speed monitors/reversing contactors in machine safety, and will be of particular interest to manufacturers of many types of monitoring relays, timers, motor and pump monitoring and controls, soft start/stop, current, voltage, load, resistance and temperature monitoring, as well as many other applications. Available in modular widths of 12.5, 17.5, 22.5, 45, 67.5 and 90mm as standard, with 12, 18, 24 (30 on request), 48, 72 and 96 terminals respectively, on up to three tiers, the range offers flexibility and functionality. From 12 to 96 x 2, 3 or 4-pole screw-clamp plug-in or integral printed-circuit type terminals are available, suitable for all soldering/reflow-compatible processes, making them ideal for cost-saving automated assembly, all in a simple ‘snap-together’ construction. The range offers customisation, with accessories and options such as terminal covers, trimmers, lightning conductors, push-buttons, LEDs, front plates and transparent hinged front covers, spring-clamp terminals, high current terminal solutions, closure of terminal slots, completely closed housings without terminals (allowing even larger PCBs), terminal blanking-plugs, printing/laser etching, apertures, slots, logos, circuit diagrams, various colours (large volume), variable I/O pole configurations, data sockets, operator, communications and visual display components (such as programmable interfaces). Full connectivity is achieved through RJ45 and EIB sockets and USB ports, with conventional wiring or mounting on optional ‘In-Rail-Bus System’ providing quick and reliable data and energy transfer connectivity between modules, without the need for time-consuming wiring and providing five PCB channels housed in 7.5mm or 15mm deep DIN-rail, each carrying up to 5A (25A maximum total).
