Fused terminal blocks with UL approval
Two new fused terminal blocks have been introduced by Camden Electronics.
The new CIME/E DIN rail mounting supports offer modular construction, easy snap-fit assembly and are suitable for mounting standard Eurocard 107mm wide PCBs.
The range has side elements of 8.25mm and centre elements of 18.5 and 35mm.
These components can be combined to make up interface supports in a wide range of widths including 16.5, 35, 51.5 and 53.5mm.

Larger sizes are made up by simply adding more elements.
Compared with competing products, Camden's new CIME/E DIN rail mounting supports offer significant benefits.
For example, they do not require any brass pins for joining elements together being moulded with strong plastic pins that locate in corresponding holes on adjacent elements.
This reduces the number of components required for assembly and eliminates the need to stock brass pins.
Camden's new 107mm DIN rail supports also feature snap-fit modular construction to enable a strong assembly to be achieved no matter how many elements are used.
Competitive products often rely on friction-fit only which results in an inferior assembly.
The DIN rail mounting supports offer a further time-saving enhancement with elements that incorporate a DIN rail mounting foot in the same moulding, again reducing the number of parts required to make up a complete assembly.
The new CIME/E supports are moulded in self-extinguishing UL94V0 industry standard green polyamide 66 and are available in grey or black on request.
They are ideal for use in any application where a PCB assembly needs to be DIN rail mounted including control panels, power supplies, transformers, PLC/photoelectric interfaces, safety and monitoring modules, alarm monitoring, overvoltage protection, data recording, lightning protection, fuseholders, relay modules and optocouplers to name just a few.
Besides saving assembly time and costs, the innovative design of the supports has enabled Camden to reduce the prices of its DIN rail mouldings by around 10 to 15%.
The combination of lower piece part costs, moulded pins and integral foot elements allows customers to make significant savings in production costs.
