FAQ

What rail sizes are compatible with the Dinkle SS2 end bracket?

The Dinkle SS2 end bracket is engineered to accommodate the two most common DIN rail dimensions used in industrial control panels: 32 mm (1.25 in) and 35 mm (1.38 in) width profiles. These sizes correspond to the IEC 60715 standard, ensuring that the bracket can be mounted on virtually any standard rail supplied by manufacturers such as Schneider, Siemens, or ABB. The bracket’s mounting holes are positioned to align with the rail’s pre‑drilled slots for both widths, eliminating the need for adapters or custom machining.

Whether you are building a compact motor controller or a larger automation cabinet, the SS2 bracket provides a reliable fit for both 32 mm and 35 mm DIN rails.

How do I install the bracket and what torque is recommended?

Installation of the Dinkle SS2 end bracket is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools. Begin by cleaning the DIN rail surface with a lint‑free cloth to remove dust or oil that could interfere with the clamp’s contact. Align the bracket’s pre‑drilled holes with the rail’s mounting slots, then insert the supplied screws through the bracket and into the rail. Using a standard Phillips screwdriver, tighten each screw to the manufacturer‑specified torque of 0.8 Nm (approximately 0.6 lb‑ft). This torque value provides enough clamping force to secure the bracket firmly while avoiding over‑compression of the plastic material, which could lead to cracking. After tightening, verify that the bracket sits flush against the rail and that the terminal block’s grounding lug makes solid contact with the bracket’s conductive surface. For applications subject to vibration, it is advisable to re‑check the screw torque after the first 24 hours of operation to ensure continued stability.
