Embodiment Construction

[0039] figure 1 and figure 2A housing sheet 10 for forming part of a modular housing for mounting electrical components on ground rails is shown in . The shell sheet 10 is similar to that disclosed in Correll's '063 patent, and therefore the conventional features of the shell sheet will not be described in detail.

[0040] The casing sheet 10 carries a grounding member formed as a grounding clip 12 . The housing sheet 10 is intended to be mounted on a DIN rail, with the ground clip 12 engaging the flange of the DIN rail. figure 1 and figure 2 Housing sheet 10 is shown mounted on DIN rail 14 with ground clip 12 clamping DIN rail flange 16 .

[0041] The casing sheet 10 has opposing and parallel sides 18 , 20 separated by a casing thickness 22 that defines the width of the sheet 10 . A plurality of alignment pins 24 extend away from side 18 and correspond to blind holes 26 configured to receive alignment pins (see Figure 8 ) are arranged on side 20 to orient in a conven...

Abstract

The invention discloses a modular PCB housing with a grounding clip. A housing slice for forming a modular housing for mounting an electrical component on a grounding rail carries a grounding member for grounding the electrical component to the grounding rail. The grounding member extends outside of the housing slice but does not extend beyond the sides of the housing slice to permit side-by-sidestacking of the housing slice carrying the grounding member with other housing slices with or without grounding members.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to housings for mounting electronic components to ground rails, and in particular to housings carrying conductive grounding members for grounding electrical components to ground rails. Background technique [0002] Terminal grounding structures consisting of an insulating housing surrounding a metallic grounding member are known. The housing is typically made of plastic and is designed to house the metal grounding member. The housing and grounding member are intended to be mounted on an elongated metal grounding rail such as a DIN rail. When the housing is mounted on the rail, one end of the ground member latches onto the rail. The other end of the grounding member is formed as an electrical terminal for connecting a wire or other conductor of the circuit to ground the circuit to the ground rail. Multiple housings can be mounted on the rail to ground several different circuits. [0003] Examples of such terminal groun...
