1504430000 Weidmuller IE-DINRAILMOUNT-KIT

Product Overview

The IE-DINRAILMOUNT-KIT (1504430000) is a specialized hardware accessory designed by Weidmuller to provide flexible installation options for industrial communication devices. This Mounting Kit is specifically engineered for the alternative fixing of Weidmüller’s serial converters and fiber-optic cable converters onto standard TS 35 DIN rails. In complex control cabinets where space optimization is critical, this kit allows engineers to transition from traditional wall or panel mounting to a standardized DIN rail configuration, ensuring a clean, organized, and vibration-resistant installation of critical networking hardware.

Functional Engineering & Design

The 1504430000 kit is characterized by its ultra-lightweight yet robust design, with a net weight of only 9 g. Despite its small footprint, it provides a high-strength mechanical bond between the converter housing and the rail. The kit is designed for rapid deployment, allowing for "snap-on" functionality that significantly reduces assembly time during cabinet builds. By standardizing the mounting profile of serial and fiber-optic media converters, the IE-DINRAILMOUNT-KIT ensures that signal conversion components are aligned with other PLC and I/O modules, facilitating better cable routing and maintenance access.

Technical Specifications

Technical FAQs

Which specific Weidmuller devices are compatible with this kit?

The 1504430000 is primarily designed for the Weidmuller IE-Line, including various RS232/485 serial converters and Ethernet-to-Fiber optic media converters that do not come with a pre-installed DIN rail clip.

Does this kit support both TS 35 and TS 32 rails?

This kit is optimized for the standard TS 35 (Top Hat) DIN rail. For legacy TS 32 (G-rail) installations, an additional adapter or a different mounting series may be required, as the clip mechanism is tailored for the 35 mm profile.

Is the kit resistant to high-vibration industrial environments?

Yes, the IE-DINRAILMOUNT-KIT is designed for industrial use. Once snapped onto the rail, it provides a secure fit that prevents the converter from sliding or detaching due to the mechanical vibrations typically found in motor control centers or manufacturing floors.

Field Engineering & Installation Guide

• Correct Alignment: Before tightening the screws that attach the kit to the converter, ensure the clip is oriented so that the tension spring faces downward. This allows for easier removal using a standard flat-head screwdriver if the device needs to be relocated.

• Torque Management: Use precision tools to attach the bracket to the converter housing. Over-tightening the small mounting screws can strip the threads of the plastic housing, while under-tightening may lead to mechanical instability.

• Spacing Requirements: Although the kit is compact, always allow for the minimum bend radius of the fiber-optic or serial cables connected to the converter. Avoid mounting the kit too close to wire ducts that might put lateral stress on the mounting clip.

Engineering Advantages

The Weidmuller 1504430000 offers a low-cost, high-impact solution for system integrators. Its 9 g weight ensures it adds negligible load to the rail, while its RoHS compliance guarantees it meets modern environmental standards for global export. The kit's simplicity is its greatest engineering strength—providing a tool-less snap-on interface for the DIN rail while maintaining the rigid structural integrity required for long-term industrial service. It is an essential component for any B2B project involving the modernization of serial or fiber-optic network infrastructure.
