Mounting Options
Stride switches with metal cases offer the following optional mounting methods.
A. Vertical DIN rail mount.
This mounting option allows for quickest installation and optimal utilization of rail space.
B. Vertical screw to panel mount.
This mounting option gives better shock and vibration resistance.
C. Flat screw to panel mount.
This mounting option offers a low profile orientation in shallow boxes plus the best shock and
vibration resistance. The power connection terminal block is removable for access to the mounting tab.
Important Notes about Thermal Performance
Stride switches with metal cases use an innovative
technique to remove excess heat from the product and
its components. This technique effectively utilizes the
heavy gauge all-aluminum case as a large heat sink.
Therefore, the case may be warm during operation,
especially with heavy loads such as all ports linked and
active. This is normal operation. For best performance,
it is recommended that a DIN rail spacer such as end
clamp, part number DN-EB35, be used between the
switch and any adjacent device. This will leave an air
gap for best heat dissipation off the case.
For best thermal performance when direct panel
mounting to a metal surface, thermal compound may
be used between the switch and mounting surface.
This will reduce any air gaps and optimize the transfer
of heat from the case to the mounting surface.
