We’ve got a slew of new DIN rail adapters. First up, the DIN Rail Terminal Block Adapter to Metro or Arduino Uno!
This one’s going out to all the makers and designers who use DIN railing in their builds. This adapter plate is perfect for simplifying complex wiring. You connect an Arduino Uno or Adafruit Metro to this breakout PCB, which can be DIN rail-mounted. All wires are broken out into terminal blocks, so you can connect and power your sensors, displays, microcontrollers, etc.
No soldering required! Place the microcontroller face-down onto the headers, unscrew the terminal blocks, and slide in your stranded or solid-core wire.
Note: DIN Rail and microcontroller are not included.
Next up, the DIN Rail Terminal Block Adapter to Grand Central or Arduino Mega!
This one’s going out to all the makers and designers who use DIN railing in their builds. This adapter plate is perfect for simplifying complex wiring. You connect an Arduino Mega or Grand Central M4 Express to this breakout PCB, which can be DIN rail-mounted. All wires are broken out into terminal blocks, so you can connect and power your sensors, displays, microcontrollers, etc.
No soldering required! Place the microcontroller face-down onto the headers, unscrew the terminal blocks, and slide in your stranded or solid-core wire.
Note: DIN Rail and microcontroller are not included.
And last, but not least, the DIN Rail Mount Bracket for Raspberry Pi / BeagleBone / Arduino!
This one’s going out to all the makers and designers who use DIN railing in their builds. This adapter plate is perfect for simplifying complex wiring. It’s pretty neat and compatible with a slew of microcontrollers and microcomputers: Raspberry Pi (any modern ones with 4 mounting holes such as the Zero, Pi 4, etc), Adafruit Metro or Arduino Uno, Adafruit Grand Central Express or Arduino Mega, or BeagleBone.
Please note that this product is only the mounting bracket – No breakout terminal blocks are included! For Raspberry Pi, match it up with a 2×20 IDC to Terminal Block Adapter and a GPIO Ribbon Cable to get started on your DIN rail project.
No soldering required! Take your favorite microcontroller and mount it to the bracket using the 10mm standoffs.
Includes:
1 x Aluminum bracket
1 pair DIN rail adapter legs and mount screws
6 x M2.5x10mm standoffs
6 x M2.5x6mm flat head screws
6 x M2.5x6mm pan head screws
Note: DIN Rail itself, terminal block breakout and microcontroller / Pi board are not included!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
