Frequently asked questions
Q1: What is the difference between NS 35/7.5 and NS 35/15 DIN rails?
A1
: The primary difference lies in their height; NS 35/7.5 has a height of 7.5mm, while NS 35/15 is 15mm high. The taller NS 35/15 provides increased rigidity, making it suitable for heavier components.
Q2: Are LEIPOLE DIN rails compatible with components from other manufacturers?
A2
: Yes, LEIPOLE DIN rails conform to international standards, ensuring compatibility with components from various manufacturers.
Q3: Can I cut DIN rails to a specific length?
A3
: Absolutely. DIN rails can be cut to the desired length using appropriate cutting tools, allowing for customized installations.
Q4: Do you offer accessories for DIN rail installations?
A4
: Yes, LEIPOLE provides a range of accessories, including end clamps, spacers, and mounting brackets, to facilitate complete DIN rail installations.
How do you install a rack mount DIN rail in a 19″ cabinet?
To install a rack mount DIN rail, clip or screw TS 35 rails onto 19″ rack ears using spring-steel mounting brackets. Ensure the rail is level, then snap your modules onto the rail. This method secures the rail and maintains panel alignment.
What are the exact dimensions of a standard DIN rail 35 mm (TS 35)?
A DIN rail 35 mm (EN 60715 TS 35) has a top-hat profile 35 mm wide, 7.5 mm depth per flange, and a total height of 15 mm. Flange thickness and slot width tolerances must be ±0.2 mm to guarantee module compatibility.
When should you choose a TS 32 DIN rail instead of TS 35?
Use a TS 32 DIN rail for compact enclosures or sub-panels where space is tight. Its narrower 32 mm width saves room but still supports standard DIN-rail modules. TS 35 remains the go-to for larger, heavier components.
What is the benefit of NS 15 perf 2000 mm rails in large-scale installations?
NS 15 perf 2000 mm rails come pre-punched every 50 mm for mounting flexibility. Their 2 m length covers long backplates without splicing—ideal for data centers or industrial switchrooms needing consistent rail runs.
How can I find “DIN rail near me” for quick project turnarounds?
Search local electrical distributors or industrial fastener suppliers online for “DIN rail near me.” Many stock cut-to-length rails (e.g., 500 mm, 1 m DIN rail) in metric sizes, reducing lead times when deadlines are tight.
