Hylec-APL now provides a range of customisable PCB housings which mount directly onto DIN rails, providing OEMs and installers with the flexibility to specify their ideal design for each application.
Securing a PCB with a DIN rail mounted modular housing within a control cabinet does away with the requirement for a more complex and costly secondary enclosure. It also provides ease of installation and future accessibility to the PCB. Hylec-APL offers DIN rail PCB housings which suit a wide range of applications, moulded in V-0 and V-2 UL material and can include custom drilling and printing with no extra charges.
Within Hylec-APL's range of PCB housings there are three types, each of which offers something different to the OEM. ‘Two-Width’ Modular Housings are the classic DIN rail PCB housing. These are available either in modular form, which clip together to form varying lengths, or extruded form, which is pre-cut to the customers required length. The ‘Two-Width’ housings are compatible with various industry standard PCB widths; 43mm/68mm/72mm/100mm/108mm.
The other products offered by Hylec-APL are vertical rail housing and module boxes. The vertical rail housing slots to the DIN rail to allow up to two PCBs to be mounted vertically in the housing. They come in various height, width and depth dimensions to give customers different design options. Holes, slots and windows can be drilled to specification allowing for LEDs, connectors, switches and other components to be incorporated into an OEM’s finished product. Logos, legends and symbols can also be silk-screened or Laser printed to demand.
The module boxes have up to nine units available, in different step and height profiles, giving customers flexibility for their applications. The boxes are available with hinged lids in clear and coloured material for when internal viewing or access may be required. As with the vertical boxes, the module boxes are fully customisable to design specification for drilling and printing.
