ME-MAX modular electronics housings

ME-MAX modular electronics housings in a flexible modular design

Modular housings from the ME-MAX series offer lots of space in a flexible modular design. Available in overall widths from 12.5 mm to 90 mm, the DIN rail housings offer individual and design-oriented solutions for your electronics. Thanks to variable connection technology with different pitches and numbers of positions, the electronics housings are ideal for numerous applications in device and systems manufacturing.

Modular housing design per half-shell principle

The housing used has a decisive impact on how efficiently a device is mounted. ME MAX series electronics housings allow the easy latching together of the individual parts. In addition, the half-shell housings can be easily extended with center parts, resulting in a modularly extendable overall width.

Flexible connection technology for ME MAX housings

Save space with flexible connection technology, available in different pitches and numbers of positions. You can thus transmit control signals of a few milliamps or supply voltages of several hundred volts. PCB terminal blocks and plug-in connection technology enable an optimum device connection. The connection technology is available in pitches from 3.5 to 7.5 mm and for voltages up to 600 V (UL). Both Push-in and screw connection technology are available for all terminal block types.

DIN rail connector for simple module contacting

For a device system to be innovative and fit for the future, it must be possible to connect modules on the DIN rail easily and without any errors. Make the best use of your PCB space – with the ME-TBUS adapter that enables serial and parallel data transmission with five positions. PCO connectors can distribute high currents up to 42 A at 60 V DC between modules.

The HS LC light guides for electronics housings are available in a variety of designs and are perfectly matched to the housings. The light guides are also resistant to ESD. The press pins enable easy mounting on the PCB. Furthermore, upon request, we will process your electronics housings as required.

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.
