Din Rail Enclosure

All this over an adaptable box......... just do the bleeding job and crack on !!!!

The manufacturer didn't design it to have a few screw terminals in?...oh really...it's not as if he's using it as a kettle...ha ha...

Who said anything about screw terminals? Those din terminals appear to be sprung loaded type, no screws in sight.

And they certainly didn't design it to have a bit of perspex glued in to the front of it to turn it into a joint box. There is a pretty high chance that the glue used is not suitable for making a good permanent bond to either one or the other of the materials, the chances of the glue failing and the perspex falling out are pretty high.

I'm not going to use it now anyway, there's not a chance it will come off as I stuck it with silicone that you build fish tanks with, sticks literally anything to anything.

You do like to rock the boat dont you Tom :smile5:

I think I'd have to agree with Davesparks here though. I can see what your saying, you think you have done something a bit out of the mainstream that is ok, but like Dave said at some point the perspex will come out, even if its many years down the line it cannot be compared to an adaptable box that has been screwed together. If I'd done that It would always be in the back of mind that the perspex will fall out and some layman will put there hand in there.

I think you were right to change your mind and use the correct accessory.
