DIN Module Panel Seals?
DIN Module Panel Seals?
(OP)
Hi all,
I have an application where I need a 35mm DIN rail module (a standard RCD) to be operated through a panel. This is not normally a problem, as I just have the 'switchy' bit protruding through the panel.
On this occasion, the panel needs to be IP65 sealed. Does anyone know where I might find a sealing 'boot' that would fit over a DIN rail module?
Thanks,
daKlone

Do you mean a complete add-on enclsoure, with the DIN module fitted inside?
If so, then yes, I've used those too. Unfortunately, I can't add another box onto the front of my enclosure.
Thanks anyway,

So basicly the component mounts to a DIN rail on a fabricated box. The box mounts to a cover that allows the switch to protrude through. The the cover acts as a recessed wall on the electrical enclosure door. Now all you will need is a little access flip cover with a gasket. The flip cover will need some butterfly hardware to give you a tight seal on the gasket.
Did that make sense?

Yes, that does make sense but I think I may have found the answer.
Omron make IP66 flip-covers for their DIN-size panel meters. Although it's not an ideal fit (the cover is designed for a 48x48 panel meter and my RCD is 36x48) I think it might do the trick.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions, though. I guess this isn't a very popular thing to do, since no-one seems to make an off-the-shelf solution.
Thanks again,
daKlone.
