A DIN rail type thermostat is designed to be mounted on a DIN rail, a standard type of metal rail used for mounting industrial control equipment inside electrical enclosures. These thermostats are commonly used in control panels, electrical cabinets, and HVAC systems to regulate temperature and protect components from overheating or freezing.
Key Features:
- DIN Rail Mounting: Easily snaps onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
- Compact Design: Suitable for space-constrained control panels.
- Adjustable Temperature Range: Usually covers ranges like 0–60°C, or -20–40°C.
- Normally Open (NO) / Normally Closed (NC) Contacts: For controlling heaters, fans, or alarms.
- Mechanical or Electronic: Bimetal (mechanical) or digital (electronic).
Common Applications:
- Heating or cooling control in control panels
- Preventing condensation in electrical enclosures
- Fan control for heat dissipation
- Freeze protection for outdoor or cold-area equipment
Example Models:
- STEGO KTO 011 (heating control, NC)
- STEGO KTS 011 (cooling control, NO)
- Rittal SK 3110.200
- Ezitown 7T Series
