Block DIN Rail Power Supplies

DIN rail power supplies are vital for converting incoming alternating current (AC) into the precise direct current (DC) voltage, current, and frequency required for industrial equipment. These devices are celebrated for their reliability, efficiency, and compact design, making them ideal for mounting on DIN rails—a solution that maximises space in process control, factory automation, power distribution, and various other industrial applications.

DIN rail power supplies are offered in a range of types and designs to cater specifically to the varying demands of different applications. Linear power supplies typically provide low noise and are excellent for sensitive environments, while switching power supplies offer greater efficiency and are ideal for applications requiring a compact solution.

What Is DIN Rail Mounting?

DIN rail is a standardised metal rail system essential for securely mounting a variety of electrical devices, such as DIN rail power supplies, within control cabinets, enclosures, racks, and panels. Conforming to the rigorous standards established by the Deutsch Institute von Normen (DIN), this mounting solution facilitates the interoperability and exchange of components from diverse manufacturers. The universal design of DIN rails ensures they can accommodate a wide range of devices, including AC and DC DIN rail power supplies, dual output DIN rail power supplies, and other voltage models. This compatibility allows for highly flexible and reliable configurations in complex electrical setups, enhancing both system organisation and operational efficiency.

What Are the Advantages of a DIN Rail Power Supply?

DIN rail power supplies are very versatile and come with various specifications and functions to suit your every need. They are available in a variety of sizes and voltages, most commonly 24V, but options like 12V, 48V, and other specifications are also readily available to cater to diverse industrial application needs. Our power supply units offer the following features and benefits:

1. Compact and Lightweight

The compact size and efficient design of DIN rail power supplies facilitate easy installation and integration into tight spaces within electrical systems. Their lightweight nature not only simplifies handling and installation but also reduces the load on mounting surfaces, which is crucial in crowded control cabinets. This simplicity extends to maintenance and potential repairs, where the straightforward design minimises downtime and service complexity.

2. Easy Connection, Installation, and Maintenance

DIN rail power supplies are designed for ease of use, featuring user-friendly connection interfaces that speed up the installation process and reduce labour costs. The standardised DIN rail mounting system enhances this benefit, allowing for quick setup and reconfiguration without the need for extensive tools or specialised skills. Regular maintenance is also streamlined thanks to accessible design features, ensuring these power supplies continue to operate efficiently with minimal intervention.

3. Wide Selection

Our range of DIN rail power supplies is designed to meet a broad spectrum of needs:

• Universal AC Single-Phase Input Voltage Range: From 90 to 264VAC, accommodating varying mains supplies without the need for additional conditioning.
• Diverse DC Output Voltages: Offering outputs from five to 48VDC, enabling compatibility with a wide range of devices and applications.
• Extensive Power Ratings: Available from as low as 2.5W to as high as 1.5kW, ensuring solutions for both low-power sensors and high-power industrial machines. This wide selection allows precise tailoring of power solutions to specific requirements, making it easy to optimise system performance and efficiency.

Where Would a DIN Rail Power Supply Be Used?

DIN rail power supplies are versatile and can be used across many industries due to their robust design and reliable performance. Common applications include sensors, PLCs, solenoids and actuators, relays, motors, and security systems. Industries that frequently use these power supplies include industrial control systems, renewable energy systems, building automation, and even residential applications like home automation systems and home theatres, ensuring a stable power supply for critical and everyday uses.
