Has anyone come across a variant of this which allows commoning? It would be very easy to make a block where each connector has third hole in the centre with a linking bar available. (Like they do with some DIN aill terminals) But I have never seen anything like that. __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: [hidden email] SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* -- http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist |

maybe something like an earthing block if you can live without the
insulation or enclose it? https://www.toolstation.com/earth-block/p63372 On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 14:16, David C Brown <[hidden email]> wrote: > This type: https://tinyurl.com/y3tfldxv > > Has anyone come across a variant of this which allows commoning? > > It would be very easy to make a block where each connector has third hole > in the centre with a linking bar available.

Those are for din rail terminals which are bulky and expensive.

Sure the DIN rails bits are expensive, but I suspect there is at least one
item in there you could use (the 100th one listed seemed to suit).

https://uk.farnell.com/wago/264-402/jumper-bar-comb-type-grey/dp/1283494 it looks to be 10mm pitch which would be about right for your chocolate block.

The jumpers aren't the problem. I can make jumpers like that out of copper
wire. But given that the two entries to the terminal block are full what do I do with the jumper. __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: [hidden email] SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 16:42, Alan Pearce <[hidden email]> wrote: > >From that selector I suspect this one will do what you want ... > https://uk.farnell.com/wago/264-402/jumper-bar-comb-type-grey/dp/1283494 > > it looks to be 10mm pitch which would be about right for your chocolate > block. > > On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 16:19, Alan Pearce <[hidden email]> > wrote: > > > > Sure the DIN rails bits are expensive, but I suspect there is at least > one item in there you could use (the 100th one listed seemed to suit). > > > > However something from this list should work ... > > > https://uk.farnell.com/c/connectors/connector-tools-accessories/jumpers-shunts > > > > > > > > On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 15:24, David C Brown <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> > >> Those are for din rail terminals which are bulky and expensive. > >> __________________________________________ > >> David C Brown > >> 43 Bings Road > >> Whaley Bridge > >> High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 > >> Derbyshire eMail: [hidden email] > >> SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb > >> <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> > >> > >> > >> > >> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* > >> > >> > >> On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 14:34, Alan Pearce < > [hidden email]> > >> wrote: > >> > >> > Any of these help? > >> > > https://uk.farnell.com/w/search/prl/results?st=connector+block+common+bar > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> > On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 14:16, David C Brown <[hidden email]> > wrote: > >> > > >> > > This type: https://tinyurl.com/y3tfldxv > >> > > > >> > > Has anyone come across a variant of this which allows commoning? > >> > > > >> > > It would be very easy to make a block where each connector has > third hole > >> > > in the centre with a linking bar available.

That is probably the best compromise but rather wasteful.
The answer to my original question appears to be no.

I would have expected to put wires in on top of the jumpers, that is
part of the reason they are done as flat contacts I believe, so there is still room for a wire with it.

Using jumpers in that wary is considered bad practice since it is easy for
them to fall out. Which is why DIN rail terminals offer an independent jumpering system __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: [hidden email] SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 21:52, Alan Pearce <[hidden email]> wrote: > I would have expected to put wires in on top of the jumpers, that is > part of the reason they are done as flat contacts I believe, so there > is still room for a wire with it. > > > On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 at 20:43, David C Brown <[hidden email]> wrote: > > > > That is probably the best compromise but rather wasteful. > > The answer to my original question appears to be no.

Hi David,
Totally agree DIN rail terminals are a huge waste of space, but if you can tolerate that, and the requirement for a DIN mounting rail, then these I've found to be quite cost effective... https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/din-rail-terminal-blocks/8787499/ https://nz.rs-online.com/web/p/din-rail-terminal-accessories/8787572/ Brent -- http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist |
