Din Rail Connectors

[Cbigfoot]

When making up a connection box for heating controls or whatever, and using din rail connectors.... What do you use?

I like WAGO style connectors for speed when making off downlights etc, and i like to concept of each conductor having its own terminal, I have seen they make Din Rail connectors also and considering trying them.

Has anyone used them, are they any good, value for money?

dearer tnan the screw type, bou good, one problem is that if you use the gn/y terminals, they commom all the earths through the rail, so you is buggered for testing.

I use din rail connectors quite often, they are good. Make connections nice and neat.

Weidmuller I think that's how spell it make screw less din rail terminals used to use them a lot in control panels etc

Have used them a couple of times when re-locating a fuse box in order to extend the cables. A little pricy but doesn't break the bank and it does enable a very neet job. It can even pay for itself if subsequently you find there is a problem with a circuit since its easier to understand than a birds nest of choc blocks or Wagos or the like.

The comment about the earth terminals is true but not applicable to the standard S or Y type wireing center where all the earths are joined together anyway.

We use the screw terminals because there's such a wide variety available and if we need fused terminals or want to use a link bar across the top of neutrals for example it makes life easier.

Well if you like wago why not use their din rail connectors. I find them spot on.
