Din Rail Mount Receptacles

Industrial electrical plugs and receptacles are specifically designed to handle higher currents and voltages used in harsh industrial environments. The use of safety features such as insulated and waterproofing sleeves, recessed sockets, blocking shutters on the sockets and sockets designed to accept plugs inserted at the correct orientation prevent serious accidents and injuries.

Din rails are metal rails that can be installed inside an enclosure to securely attach industrial and electrical components. For example: terminal blocks, power supplies, circuit breakers, etc. Din rails have conformed to a universal industry standard for widths and shapes of mounting hardware. Because of this, components can simply slide or snap into place on the rail without having to mount each one separately.

Receptacles (din rail mount) are designed to mount easily to a din rail and provide convenient plug-in surge protected power to an electrical enclosure that contains cord-connected equipment. It is important to use only UL listed receptacles. UL listed means that the product has been tested by the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) to meet nationally recognizes safety and sustainability standards. The product has been found to be free from reasonably foreseeable risk of fire and electric shock in a Division 2 environment (where ignitable concentrations are used). UL testing also verifies that the products are constructed correctly and that they can handle the amount of current assigned by the manufacturer.
