Re: "DIN rail" or Not

The din rail was not my favorite thing in the beginning either. However we learned a few useful things about it. Tinning the wires is a must and you need a fairly good soldering iron to do this given the required gage wire. This is important because of the Allen cap screw contact method it makes it so if you don't eventually you'll tighten the screw so much it will move all the wires to the side causing bad contact. Finally you can cut the rail it self to use what ever you want and it really isn't that much weight.

Just a few things,
Drew
