8-position DIN rail connector

Connect individual ICS housings together easily. 8-position TBUS 8 DIN rail connectors with serial and parallel contacts enable easy module-to-module communication in the control cabinet.

Modular connection technology for ICS housings

The ICS series for the DIN rail features modular connection technology for RJ45, D-SUB, USB, and antenna connections that is unique on the market. PCB headers enable plug-in connection technology of the ICS housing series. Connectors with screw or Push-in technology, with 3 and 4 positions with 5.0 mm pitch increase their flexibility.

The ICS housing in different overall widths, installed heights, and installed depths

The modular system of the ICS housing provides a high level of scalability, tailor-made for your requirements. Overall widths of 20 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm, installed heights of 77.5 mm, 100 mm, and 122.5 mm, and installed depths of 87.5 mm, 110 mm, and 132.5 mm are available.

The ICS housing with high packing densities

Because of its flexibility, the ICS housing enables technically complex solutions to be implemented in a confined space in the control cabinet. Make ideal use of the space for up to two PCBs with a width of 25 mm and for up to four PCBs with a width 50 mm – with an installation time of just a few seconds. This gives you more space and area for relays and electrolytic capacitors. The design, colors, and printing can be tailored.

Display modules and membrane keypads for the ICS housing

The visualization and adjustment of processes and characteristic values at the touch of a finger are becoming increasingly important. Touch displays and high-resolution displays with membrane keypads enrich the equipment of the ICS series modular system.

The graphs of the diagrams provide information on which power the components may supply in the respective housing in order not to exceed a temperature difference to the environment. The slope of the straight line describes the thermal conductance of the system. The cases shown differ, on the one hand, in that one features full-surface heating while the other features heating of a hotspot of 20 mm x 20 mm and, on the other hand, in that one has a printed circuit board installed in the housing and one does not have a housing.

Technical principles of electronics housings Solutions for DIN rail applications

Electronics housings are an elementary part of a device. They determine its appearance and protect the electronics from external influences. In addition, they enable assembly in superordinate units. Device manufacturers must therefore pay attention to many details, and not only in the design, but also in the choice of housing when it comes to materials and quality testing. This brochure provides you with all the details.
