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 |

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).

The jumpers aren't the problem. I can make jumpers like that out of copper
wire.

That is probably the best compromise but rather wasteful.

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.

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 |
