Basic electronics housings - EH and UM series
Designed for industrial electronics the EH housing allows the device's design to be suited to its applications. With various housing designs and professional connection technology, the EH housing series offers a highly functional overall solution.
The EH housing system makes it easy to design universal device applications. Available in a range of 7 overall widths, 2 overall heights and 3 cover versions providing over 100 possible combinations. The EH housings allow PCBs to be installed in all three spatial directions and offer the option of DIN rail or wall mounting depending on the application requirement. The housings can be assembled without the need for tools saving time and have 3 cover versions, closed, one-sided or two-sided connections.

Multifunction electronics housings – ME-PLC and ME-IO series
The ME-PLC housing system is ideal for applications that require large installation spaces and front-side connection technology. When combined with a large PCB assembly surface and DIN rail connectors, this housing system offers a high level of functionality for a wide range of applications. Full flexibility, lots of space for electronics and convenient connection options are ideal conditions for use in industrial process applications. The housings feature levers allowing easy insertion and removal from the DIN rail, the housings have a connector bus system with up to 50 positions for power and data communication between modules allowing simplified wiring and more space for external connections. The covers have a universal design for freely selectable connection technology with the front connection module giving up to 36 positions, transparent covers are also available for displays or LEDs.

The ME-IO housing system is ideal for applications where installation space is cramped. Its push-in front connection technology and compact design allow for the implementation of small devices with up to 36 positions. The ME-IO housings provide an optimum solution for applications where there is limited space available for controller and I/O systems with comprehensive functions such as those typically found in industrial packaging and assembly equipment. The housings can be easily installed onto and removed from the DIN rail using a simple Lock and Release system and have plug coding to avoid incorrect connections. The housings can be fitted with up to 36 push-in connection positions on the front of the housing and feature a DIN rail bus connector with up to 5 positions allowing convenient connection between modules without using up valuable front connections.
