ELECTROMECHANiCAL Modular electronics housing system CH20M


selection of possible male headers. Then the full configuration of the basic housing elements is done: the selection of the colour scheme, the bus connections, and the required cutouts. As a special service you can upload a file with your individual printing requirements. After completing the base element, the configuration of side panels, front and lid follows. In all the steps a graphical representation is provided allowing each configuration step to be visualised, even for the customisable side panels. The housing lid can be provided as a hinged cover and, if desired, transparent, black or with custom printing.


The new housing sTandard for elecTronic componenTs


Component Housing iP20 Modular (CH20M) is a tailor-made solution for customised applications that offers efficiency and innovation in design, production and usability. The system is available in all common standard widths, from a 6mm narrow terminal housing to a modular plug-in housing from 12.5mm to 22.5mm or even 67mm.


Scalable, customised design coupled with cost efficiency and high flexibility is, in addition to innovative functionality, a fundamental criterion when selecting the housing design. CH20M enables you to select maximum performance with minimum complexity.


ch20m: efficiency and innovaTion in design, in producTion and in use This user-friendly infrastructure solution interconnects power, signals and data via rail quickly and reliably. Supplying, connecting or distributing within modular applications, the DIN rail bus replaces time consuming manual wiring with a flexible and uninterruptable system solution reducing costs and manufacturing errors.


The unique integrated bus solution covers seven system widths: from the narrow 6mm to the 67mm king-size housing and each single module can be mounted at any position of a TS-

35 standard DIN rail in accordance with DIN EN 60715, whether 7.5mm or 15mm high. Designed for reflow soldering processes,


the SMD-bus contact block which is available in machine-ready taped and reeled packaging can be automatically processed during the component assembly, requiring no manual post- processing. Five fully-galvanised and partially gold-plated twin-arched contacts provide a permanent and reliable contact with the rail bus. The unique THR solder flanges ensure a stable mechanical fixation with the PCB.


For modification and maintenance it is easy to replace a module, even in existing groups without any impact on neighbouring modules.

Whatever design you are planning, our new CH20M housing system is the ideal platform for it. The new product assistant enables you to quickly and easily design a tailor-made housing to meet your particular requirements in just a few mouse clicks. It is based on a range of housing elements, connection systems and accessories. You start by choosing the required housing width, or the number of required connections. Then you define the exact position of the PCB in the housing which automatically shows the

An overview shows you which steps have been completed and what remains to be done. To save time in the future, the project can be saved locally so that it can be accessed and used again at any time. Another special feature of the configurator is that individual housing components and connectors can be separately ordered. All in all, users benefit from the large number of configuration options that are easily accessed. In no time at all, tailor-made housings are ready to order.
