Re: "DIN rail" or Not

If you do not like the DIN mounted AB Terminals, sorry but if you are going to be continuing on into Industrial Controls after Robotics they will not be going anyplace. I build Industrial Control panels for Frakes Engineering and these are standard, though we do not use anything this large.

Also on Team 447, we have been using terminal block strips for a couple years. They make it very nice when trouble shooting and when replacing components.

Check for what the torque setting should be for the terminals, we have never had a problem with them coming loose when torqued properly.
