A DIN rail-mountable adapter that breaks out all 8 wires of an RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable to screw terminal blocks. Connect an RJ-45 cable to the vertical jack, and access each wire individually via the terminal blocks — no soldering required.
This adapter simplifies wiring in DIN rail builds by letting you use standard Ethernet cables for power and data distribution to sensors, displays, microcontrollers, and other components. Just unscrew the terminal blocks and slide in stranded or solid-core wire.
Key Features

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
- Terminal block
- A terminal block is a connector that joins wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way, usually clamping each wire under a screw or spring instead of soldering. It makes it easier to connect, change, or service wiring without permanent joints.
