DIN rail mounted momentary push button?

[jraef]

Dan if you find anything from AB let me know. I have a customer that is die hard AB meatball guy. If it doesn't have a meatball you can't use it. I have been using AB 22mm single button enclosures mounted in a panel. Not very pretty, but it works

I have used the 800F-BX.. base mount contact blocks that mount directly to the back pan (not DIN rail though) and then mount an operator on a simple C bracket above it. Can't use it for pulling style operators, but I've done it with the selectors, PBs and toggle operators, usually as a reset inside of the panel. Last one I did, I used a short piece of Panduit as the way to hold the operator, just screwed the base mount contact block right through the panduit base.

Nice layout. What software do you use to make your layout drawings?

Thanks!

I use AutoCAD and I draw most everything I build in 3D. I learned 2D AutoCAD years ago, and 3D was a natural extension. I'm planning on learning full blown parametric modeling next. I really want to start using SolidWorks.

I can handle 2d in AutoCad but haven't started 3D yet
In the plans to learn.

I've built and used these brackets many times with good results. I use a Meanwell power supply clip to attach the bracket to the DIN rail.

I've attached my drawing as a PDF.

I've used this clip too. I find it good enough. We have some not so light devices mounted on such clips, lot of stress and vibrations and all of them are still on the right place.
