General Description

These sturdy steel DIN rail mounting brackets are useful for mounting a wide variety of devices onto standard 35 mm DIN rail. Their unique feature is the threaded mounting tabs oriented perpendicular to the DIN rail, allowing perpendicular mounting of devices and saving valuable space on the DIN rail. Mount hubs, routers, and many other devices which would normally consume horizontal space.

This product is available in a few configurations to facilitate mounting a wide variety of devices:

  • Mounting tabs on the Left, Standard Release: DINM30
  • Mounting tabs on the Left, Latch Release: DINM30LR
  • Mounting tabs on the Right, Standard Release: DINM31

These brackets latch onto both the top and bottom lips of the rail with the fixed (non spring-loaded) end of the bracket on the top of the rail to bear the weight of its device.

Rail Clearance / Installation & Removal Method

Clips are offered in two different versions, which impacts both how it can be installed/removed, as well as its rigidity on the rail:

  • Lift & Pivot (More Rail Clearance): The lower bumper on Lift & Pivot clips has enough spacing from the bottom of the DIN rail that the clip can be lifted/tilted on and off the rail without needing to depress the Latch tab. This provides easy installation and removal from the DIN rail, even if the Latch is hard to reach behind your device, but also means the clip may be able to tilt sideways under heavy side loads.
  • Latch Release (Tighter Rail Clearance): The bumper on Latch Release clips has a tighter spacing to the bottom of the DIN rail. This constrains the movement/tilting of the clip, making it more rigid under side loads. However, it also means that you must depress the Latch tab in order to install or remove these clips from the DIN rail.

    Brackets with a smaller bumper have more space between the bracket and the DIN rail.

    The tighter rail clearance of the Latch Release version restricts movement of the bracket on the rail, making the assembly more rigid for unusual side loading or rotational forces. This can be helpful, for example, when dealing with arrangements that have unusually stiff cables.

    More rail clearance increases the movement of the bracket on the rail, but allows for easier removal.

    Removal from a Rail

    Removing Lift & Pivot Clips: DINM30, DINM31

    Typically the simplest method to remove the Lift & Pivot clips is to lift up on the mounted device, pivot the top of the device out away from the rail, and lower the entire device off the rail. This technique is possible because of the larger amount of rail clearance and does not require access to the release handle, which makes this method easier, especially if a bulky device is mounted to the clip and is blocking easy access to the latch tabs. However, you can also use the release handle method to remove these brackets if desired.

    Removing Latch Release Clips: DINM30LR

    To remove Latch Release brackets from a DIN rail, either pull the release handle from the bottom edge of the bracket, or push the handle down from the top edge of the bracket. This releases the sliding hooks that grip the bottom of the rail and allows the bottom edge of the bracket to swing out away from the DIN rail. The entire bracket can then be lifted off the DIN rail.

    Because these models have tighter rail clearance, the release handle must be actuated in order for the bracket to be able to move far enough away from the rail to detach. For this reason, the "lift and pivot" method will not work.

    Use the release handle to remove a Latch Release bracket from the DIN rail.

    Mounting Hardware

    The DINM30, DINM30LR, and DINM31 contain four M4 threaded (M4 x 0.7mm) mounting holes (two on the main body of the bracket and two on the right angle mounting tabs). Winford offers M4 machine screws (sold separately below) that work well with these clips.
