[@josephjames5271]

yes finally someone that understands what an explanation is

[@tomdchi12]

Thanks! "Exactly what I need" is a while series of videos like this on DIN Rails, but this was absolutely critical in moving from "WTF?" to "Oh... OK... I see..."

[@AztecWarrior69]

Example?

[@t2dude7]

Thank you so much. This helps a lot. Sometimes experts forget to explain The smallest things and it causes a major delay in the learning process.

[@melodyacc]

you are the first guy, who explained how this things distribute energy!!!! thanks to the lord

[@EXPLORISTlife]

That's wildly helpful. Thanks! I was on the verge of just buying a bunch of them to figure it out on my own. lol

[@whogavehimafork]

The hardest thing about starting off trying to learn about this stuff (i do some electrical work at my job but im no electrician, so I didn't know hardly any terminology when I started) is that I had no idea what any of this stuff was called. I didn't know what a DIN rail was, I didn't know what a solid state relay was, didn't know what terminal blocks were. There were a lot of gaps in my knowledge. I knew Khirkhoff's laws, but I didn't know hardly any practical info.
Granted I went to school for mechanical engineering, and the electrical courses I took seemed to assume that everyone already knew how the theory applied to physical components in circuits.
Maybe I just had bad professors lol. I don't remember a single mechanical classmate that enjoyed their electrical courses.

[@BasakAbhishek]

Thanks for the video! I had searched all over but could not find a basic explanation of DIN rail terminal blocks ... your video is just great!

[@mzulfadliibrahim7510]

Thanks for the detailed yet simple explanation. It is really helpful.

[@jamesstammers1648]

Great video. Thanks for putting it up, just what I was looking for!

[@cheeops]

exact video I was looking for. good job man

[@joshuaobiaboehoche9424]

Nice, very detailed and informative. Great job.

[@longlogco07]

Great video! Thanks for putting this out there. Same problem, had questions, no videos explained how to use them.
Cheers!

[@edgarsfeldmanis1374]

Thank you for this great and simple explanation.

[@andrewbotimer571]

You Sir are a hero

[@LoganVanCuren]

Thank you very much! Cleared things up perfectly.

[@TheGoodSon89]

finally a helpful video on terminal blocks! Thanks mate

[@DavidBTB]

Thank you for explaining things that other tubers take for granted! Good stuff.

[@sharpey79]

THANKYOU... Just the video I needed!

[@philgray1023]

My boat has a big rack of these. It was a mystery to me until now. They have pull out jumpers, some join more than one and some kind soul wrote the source of each cable. Unfortunately in French slang.

[@sankar2310]

Thanks for the video, it was really helpful , Can you please explain the different components / parts of the Terminal Block with their names and the material.

[@adamthompson2391]

Very helpful, thanks.

[@jyestudio]

Thank you! Thank you so much!

[@MrRojoalfred]

Great video. Do have any on din rail terminal blocks with switching relays? being used on PLC's

[@tamermousa7090]

thanks for your clarification. is the ground terminal blocks different or it normal terminal with pass bar ?

[@aonutube]

How do you connect the electric wire to one of these thing? Can I put the naked wire directly into the terminal hole? or I have to use the fork type wire terminal of some sort.

[@robingingras]

Yeah same here, thanks for this. If you could maybe do a short video in more detail about the fuse block?

[@freddy7phil]

Thanks!

[@sasm1397]

Are they rated for certain Amps specialy the one for fuse ?

[@jacobmarciniec]

Great video! Certainly helpful, BUT... color coding DOES matter. Oftentimes grounding DIN rail terminal blocks (in the EU they are green/yellow) are electrically connected to the DIN rail itself. If you were unaware of this you could have a very bad day, either because you would be constantly tripping a breaker (hopefully nothing more), or... worse yet, you could make the entire DIN rail and anything it is electrically connected to live.

[@JKTCGMV13]

Yep. I’m no electrician myself but learned some of this on the job. If I didn’t know about the green/yellow block then we wouldn’t have known how the enclosure was grounded (subcontractor built the cabinet)

[@--nilnil--5897]

Thanks - brill :)

[@jmallory5378]

Best video ever

[@user-dl4qf2ff3v]

thank you

[@dixonmcklacker6210]

thankyou.

[@dvi3660]

I got IT

[@petemclinc]

Well shit man, show us how to do it!

[@bkveteran9728]

That is so why I'm here. So many videos full of bla bla but no demonstration or working principle.

[@bkveteran9728]

I don't know why, but I feel those plastic parts are over-engineered. So many features. Wire and screw holes are necessary, as well as the clips for putting them on the rail, but then there are so many other nooks and crannies.

[@rootvalley2]

feel the same the shape is so confusing

[@CoolDude-vc2fl]

Why some of them are open bodies?

[@tookitogo]

To save space. They stack side by side on the rail, so the single wall between them is enough. Then you just need the single end cap to close off the open end.

[@markproulx1472]

Protip: hold the camera still.

[@illygah]

liked subscrumed commentered. nest, most helpful vidya for greenhorn freshmen armchair wannabes

[@illygah]

such as myself

[@nelon5234]

Lol 40 seconds in and that was my experience. That's what happens when people are too smart and making instruction manuals?!

[@ChristopherJones16]

I watched a few of these din rail videos on youtube and still not one person has explained what the numbers mean in the names of the blocks.. Theres UK3N, UK25N UK25B I think it was.. UK6N UK10N.. whats the difference of these model numbers and letters? Also is the "UK" blocks meant for hooking up electronics in Europe ? That they use different color codes and what not? No site explains these letters and numbers its ridiculous. The damn internet and the description of a simple plastic part for wiring electronics cant be found anywhere. This project that im following.. the guy calls for UK25N in his BOM but I wanted to use different colors.. colors that i can find in UK25N.. but can find in UK3N.. so can I use the UK3N instead? Heres what he's using-> www.aliexpress.com/item/32938336265.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2f95427b5CzANH&algo_pvid=84642326-e63c-4e19-bb0d-ccb93b3f5a65&algo_expid=84642326-e63c-4e19-bb0d-ccb93b3f5a65-23&btsid=0ab6d59515930619011971316ee771&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

[@sndrcve]

Anyone else feel sick from the screen shaking? (Thanks for the info though!)

[@cuevob]

OMG: buy a tripod

[@eewls]

I confirm the video did not exist

[@asgeirnilsen6752]

Thanks!
