DIN block for custom electronics

[John Larkin]

Any recommedations on a source for DIN rail mountable plastic blocks
that we can mount our own pcb's in?

Don't know what you mean but we have often taken a Vector board (from
Digikey), mounted the DIN connectors and then screwed whatever was
needed onto that.

I think he needs an empty "project box" that can be mounted to what is known
as "Hutschiene" in Germany.

The German Farnell branch is full of that stuff. Don't know about
international branches. Here's a random page:

http://de.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=411+1001381
&Ntk=gensearch_002&Ntt=schiene&Ntx=

There are tons more, and several mfgrs. The paper catalogue is much better
organized.

Good luck,

Camden Electronics do a wide range of very flexible DIN enclosures
http://www.camdenelec.com
Some of them are stocked by Farnell & Rapid Electronics.

Yeah, that word Hutschiene dawned on me later. I've never seen any in
the US, maybe that is what puzzled me. I also never understood the
German name for it since "Hut" is a hat. Ok, maybe in the olden days
they threw their hats up there ;-)

DIN rail used to come in various shapes, one of
which was known as "top hat", which (afaik) has
now become the standard.

Wikipedia suggest's it could it be describing the cross-section of the rail

rolled or extruded bar with similar (typically narrower) profile is commonly
called top-hat in english,
