A practical DIN rail-mountable adapter that breaks out all 8 wires from an RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable into individual screw terminal blocks. It's ideal for simplifying wiring in enclosures and panel builds — connect a single RJ-45 cable and distribute power or data to sensors, displays, microcontrollers, and other devices without any soldering.
This variant features a right-angle RJ-45 jack, keeping the cable profile low and parallel to the DIN rail. No soldering required — just loosen the terminal screws, insert stranded or solid-core wire, and tighten.
Key Features
- DIN Rail Mount – Clips directly to standard DIN rail for clean panel installation
- 8-Way Breakout – All 8 RJ-45 conductors broken out to individual terminal blocks
- Right-Angle Jack – Cable exits parallel to the rail, saving panel depth
- No Soldering – Screw terminal blocks accept stranded or solid-core wire
- Versatile Use – Power and signal distribution to sensors, microcontrollers, displays, and more
Ideal For
- Panel builders using DIN rail enclosures
- Makers running multi-conductor cable using RJ-45 connectors
- Distributing power and low-speed data in control cabinet builds
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- DIN
- As a pin label, DIN stands for 'data in', the input through which a device receives serial data from a controller, as found on SPI displays, LED drivers and other serial modules. DIN can also refer to the German standards body of that name, as in a round multi-pin DIN connector or DIN-rail mounting.
- DIN rail
- DIN rail is a standard metal mounting rail used inside industrial electrical cabinets. When a product is DIN rail mountable, it can be clipped neatly alongside power supplies, relays and other automation hardware in a panel.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- screw terminal
- A connector that clamps bare wire using a small screw, making it easier to attach and remove wires without soldering. Screw terminals are useful for power wiring or thicker wires that are not suited to small plug-in connectors.
