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 is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- 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.
