How can I fit multiple devices in an enclosure?
Often Brainboxes products are installed in a cabinet or enclosure. Sometimes this means there isn’t a lot of space to fit everything in.
This can be a great way to protect your wiring from difficult environments , ingress and water damage, or just from the hustle and bustle of the factory floor.
One way lots of engineers choose to install our standard range products is to stack them.


To do this you will need:
-
MK-048
a set of our DIN rail clips, Brainboxes partnum: MK-048
-
Stand offs
4 standoffs 25 mm tall with M4 screw thread, RS partnum: 653-9368
-
M4 screws
M4 Hex screw with 5mm thread length, RS partnum: 183-8626
-
DIN rail
You’ll also need a small section of DIN rail to fix inside your enclosure
The stand offs are just the right size to sit between your two Brainboxes products, in this case a 5 port ethernet switch SW-005 and 8 LINE Digital I/O ED-008 .
-
Position Stand offs
Loosely position stand offs MK-048 and screws and adjust until all 4 in line through products.
-
Tighten screws
Once all four are correctly in place tighten
Finished Set up
