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 a 2x20 IDC cable to this very PCB, which can be DIN rail-mounted. Then, all 40 pins are broken out into terminal blocks, so you can connect and power your sensors, displays, microcontrollers, etc.
No soldering required! Just unscrew the terminal blocks and slide in your stranded or solid-core wire.
Note: DIN rail is not included.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DIN
- DIN means data in, the pin where this display receives data from the controller. Connecting DIN to the correct SPI data output pin is needed for the screen to receive pixel and command information.
- DIN rail
- DIN rail is a standard metal mounting rail used inside industrial electrical cabinets. DIN rail mounting matters because it lets the controller be installed neatly alongside power supplies, relays, and other automation hardware.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
