DIN Rail Power Supplies

DIN rail power supplies are electrical devices that take an incoming electrical current and convert it into the correct voltage, current, and frequency required for industrial equipment. Also known as electric power converters, DIN rail power supplies are reliable, efficient, and compact.

DIN rail power supplies are a special type of power supply that is mounted onto a DIN rail. These electrical devices provide a convenient and space-saving solution for providing power to appliances used in process control, factory automation, power distribution, and other industrial applications.

What is DIN Rail Mounting?

DIN rail is a metal rail used to mount electrical devices in control cabinets, enclosures, racks, and panels. DIN rail is manufactured to conform to a specific set of standards outlined by the Deutsch Institut von Normen (DIN). Due to the uniform profile, it ensures electronic devices such as circuit breakers, relays, and power supplies can be sourced from several different manufacturers and suppliers, safe in the knowledge that all products can be mounted on the same rail.

Benefits of DIN rail power supply

As we mentioned before DIN rail power supplies are very versatile and come with various specifications and functions to suit your every need. Our power supply units offer the following features and benefits:

Extensive range of power ratings

DIN rail power supplies are available in a wide range of power ratings. Check out the features below:
