UM-BASIC extruded profile housings

UM-BASIC extruded profile housings for custom PCB sizes

Extruded profile housings from the UM-BASIC series combine short installation times with a high degree of freedom when choosing the connection technology. They allow individual PCB positioning and custom PCB sizes. The low-profile design supports the assembly of flat electronics modules and their mounting on standard DIN rails or directly on the wall. This allows for a high degree of freedom when designing devices – such as in industrial electronics.

Your advantages

  • Different base profiles, each with three PCB levels
  • Module covers of different geometries can be positioned in any way
  • Compatibility with many standard connection technologies
  • Easy device mounting with the snap-mount principle (the sides are fixed without the aid of tools)
  • High degree of flexibility with freely positionable covering hoods

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.
