Dinrail
DIN rail and terminal blocks are the mounting and connection components used to build tidy, safe wiring inside control panels and enclosures. We stock Europa plain top hat DIN rail, Weidmuller WDU feed-through terminals in 2.5, 4, 6 and 10 sizes, screw down earth terminal blocks, a 6.3A single fused terminal, EW 35 end brackets, end plates and a GARO earth and neutral connection block.
With a trade account you pay trade prices, and stock items ordered by 5pm Monday to Friday are delivered next working day across Northern Ireland and the Republic.
How to choose DIN rail terminal blocks
Terminal blocks give every conductor a labelled, secure connection point in a panel, making installation, fault-finding and future alterations far easier than joining cables directly.
Types of terminal block
- Feed-through terminals - connect one conductor to another, the standard block in most panels.
- Earth terminals - make electrical contact with the DIN rail to provide a protective earth connection.
- Fused terminals - include a fuse holder to protect an individual control or instrument circuit.
- End plates and end brackets - cover the open side of the last block and stop a row from sliding along the rail.
Sizing and selection
Choose terminal size by the conductor cross-section and current. The figures in names such as WDU 2.5 or WDU 10 relate to the nominal wire size in mm². Check the rated voltage and current on the manufacturer's data sheet, and keep to one product family on each rail so blocks, end plates and markers line up correctly.
Installation tips
- Use 35mm top hat rail and fix it securely to the enclosure back plate.
- Fit ferrules on fine-stranded conductors where the manufacturer recommends them.
- Tighten screws to the specified torque and re-check after transport or commissioning.
- Fit an end plate and end bracket at each end of a terminal row.
Pair your terminals with relay sockets from our panel and control gear range, push buttons and pilot lamps in control and automation, and crimp connectors for finishing conductors. Work to current wiring regulations and the manufacturer's instructions.
