DIN Rail Mount 12 Channel Rocker Switch DC Power Distribution Strip Module

I bought this for my electronics lab at work - I'm seemingly forever having to set up experiments or proof of concepts that have multiple power connections for many separate modules or driven devices, and frequently I need to control the power up sequence or module failure simulation, especially for early experiments (PU sequence in actual use is controlled by PLC, but this is all stuff well before the PLC gets involved)Handy!

Just what I needed for my model rail road track power feed

This thing is easy to install and use and saves a lot of space. It not only simplifies electrical distribution on my train layout, but provides compact and reliable on/off control of light, animations, track sections, etc. I have replaced a bunch of bulkier individual toggle switches and some of the old familiar plastic switches. The wiring is dead simple, stick it in and screw it down and the contacts are clearly marked so you can get the polarity right every time, the first time.

The 12 or 6 are rated 30A total and 10A per switch identically. So get the 6 switch version even though it's more money per switch. The 12 switch version is good for very low draw devices or using the switches to activate relays.My use case is solar off grid. I'm new to the idea of din rails but have fallen in love. I wanted to supply power to my internet devices dc to dc for both direct efficiency and turning the inverter off (or letting it go to sleep) to save the 30A parasitic usage. I only need the inverter for a TV and freezer I use as a fridge. The TV I can manage manually and the freezer I can automate.My battery is 24V. Using this and small adjustable DC to DC boards I can power most devices.Battery -> Main bus bar -> Meter (Shunt) -> Low voltage cutoff -> Primary DC distribution bus bar -> Secondary DC distribution bus bars -> Possible large boost/buck -> Fuse box -> Rocker switches -> Possible small boost/buck -> devices.For more amps you can split a large boost/buck converter among several 6 rocker panels. Or you can choose to use the rockers to activate relays. Otherwise I just make a custom cable per device with it's own small boost/buck converter.Hope this helps others as far as how to use these.

Bought one to simulate the signals sent from a commercial laundry washer or dishwasher to our dosing systems made by our company! Has been working like a champ!!!

Does exactly what we needed it too. Only feature would be an inline fuse on top of the switch.

Works great for simple, switched 12VDC distribution. Putting about 60W total through it presently, no issues.

This board is good for testing PLC programs or microprocessors. With 12 lines, you have enough input signals to test your program.The only thing I don't like is that it's not universal, you can't select if the inputs are source or sink. If you ask me, in addition to being able to select source or sink, I would add a momentary (N.O.) button in parallel with the rocker switch for pulsed input testing.Yes, I recommend this product.
