DIN Rail Adapter works with pin and socket connectors.
Press Release Summary:
Combining benefits of using pin and socket connector with convenience of DIN rail mounting, adapter for MATE-N-LOK cap housings allows wire and harness installers to bring 2 ends of cable assembly or wire harness together at DIN rail mounted location. Since connectors are part of wiring harness, entire completed harness can be installed, minimizing difficult point-to-point wiring installation methods and achieving higher wiring densities.

DIN Rail Adapter Accommodates Popular Pin and Socket Connectors
HARRISBURG, Pa., October 27, 2003 - Tyco Electronics, a business segment of Tyco International Ltd., recently introduced a DIN rail adapter for MATE-N-LOK cap housings. This new development allows wire and harness installers to bring two ends of a cable assembly or wire harness together at a DIN rail mounted location. DIN rail adapters allow designers to enjoy the benefits of using a proven pin and socket connector and the convenience of DIN rail mounting. MATE-N-LOK cap housing DIN rail adapters can be used in industrial control cabinets, industrial machinery, commercial equipment and power distribution applications where DIN rails are used.
Since MATE-N-LOK contacts can be applied with high-speed termination equipment, engineers can experience an applied cost savings when compared to other manual termination methods that require more labor or more costly connectors. Additionally, since MATE-N-LOK connectors are part of the wiring harness, an entire completed harness can be easily installed thereby minimizing difficult point-to-point wiring installation methods common in DIN rail applications. Lastly, higher wiring densities are realized with MATE-N-LOK connectors with the DIN rail adapter compared to conventional DIN rail mounted terminal blocks.
Pricing for a DIN rail adapter, Tyco PN 1604369-1, that accommodates a 15 position Universal MATE-N-LOK connector is $1.65 at low volumes.
