Description
The installation component housings of the BC... series are
suitable for use in common installation distributor boxes and
comply with the standard DIN 43880.
The component housings are available in five different de-
sign widths, from the width of one horizontal pitch (1TE =
17.8 mm) up to nine horizontal pitches (9TE = 161.6 mm).
The PCBs can be installed parallel or perpendicular to the
DIN rail starting at 2TE. The perpendicular PCBs can, how-
ever, be aligned either parallel or transverse to the DIN rail.
In all cases the PCBs can be snapped in at different loca-
tions.
The cover is available in two versions:
–
–
Transparent, hinged and can be sealed
In the same light gray color as the housing, permanently
snapped onto the upper housing part
Starting with the design width 2TE (35.6 mm), the installa-
tion space for PCB connection technology is available in two
different installation depths:
–
The connection technology for BC...U11 has 11 mm of
space. This is ideal for the use of connection technolo-
gy with small pitch dimensions (e.g. COMBICON com-
pact)
The component housings are mounted on an NS 35 DIN rail.
Optionally, a 16-pos. DIN rail connector can be inserted in
the DIN rail. This serves to establish automatic contact from
device to device. With the bus connector, data and energy
transmission can be serial or parallel (4 x power, 2 x serial,
10 x parallel). Individual devices can be easily plugged in or
unplugged without breaking up the group of modules.
–
The installation space for connection technology with
BC...U22 has been maximized to 22 mm of space. For
instance, double-level connection terminal blocks or
RJ45 connectors can be mounted.
With BC 161,6 modular, the side panels in each of the six
segments on each side of the housing can be arranged in
three different positions. When the side panel is located at
the innermost position, the installation space for connection
technology is maximized to 22 mm. The installation space
for connection technology is 11 mm for the middle side
panel position. When the side panel is located at the outer-
most position, the installation space for connection technol-
ogy is closed off.
