The DIN RAIL MOUNT AC30 PINPLUG 3P MODULAR SOCKET is a modular socket designed for seamless installation on DIN rails. Manufactured by AC, this component features a 3-pin configuration, ensuring reliable and secure electrical connections. Its modular design makes it ideal for industrial and commercial applications where quick and efficient wiring is essential.

• Industrial control panels
• Power distribution systems
• Automation equipment
• Electrical enclosures
• Modular wiring setups in factories and workshops

Below are the key technical details for the DIN RAIL MOUNT AC30 PINPLUG 3P MODULAR SOCKET:

The 3-pin configuration of the socket is detailed below:

1. Mounting the Socket:

   • Securely attach the socket to a standard DIN rail using the integrated mounting clip.
   • Ensure the socket is firmly locked in place to prevent movement during operation.

2. Wiring the Socket:

   • Connect the live wire to Pin 1 (Line).
   • Connect the neutral wire to Pin 2 (Neutral).
   • Connect the ground wire to Pin 3 (Earth).
   • Use appropriately rated wires (16A, 250V AC) to ensure safe operation.

3. Testing the Connection:

   • After wiring, use a multimeter to verify continuity and proper connections.
   • Ensure there are no loose wires or exposed conductors.

• Safety First: Always disconnect power before wiring or modifying the socket.
• Wire Stripping: Strip wires to the appropriate length (typically 6-8mm) to ensure a secure connection.
• DIN Rail Compatibility: Verify that the DIN rail used is compatible with the socket's mounting mechanism.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid installing the socket in environments exceeding the specified operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C).
• Compliance: Ensure the installation complies with local electrical codes and standards.

While the DIN RAIL MOUNT AC30 PINPLUG 3P MODULAR SOCKET is not directly designed for microcontroller use, it can be part of a larger system where an Arduino UNO controls devices connected to the socket. Below is an example of how an Arduino UNO can control a relay module to switch power to the socket:

// Example: Controlling a relay to power the DIN rail socket
// This code assumes a relay module is connected to pin 7 of the Arduino UNO.

const int relayPin = 7; // Pin connected to the relay module

void setup() {
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT); // Set relay pin as output
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW); // Ensure relay is off at startup
}

void loop() {
  // Turn on the relay (power to the socket)
  digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
  delay(5000); // Keep the socket powered for 5 seconds

  // Turn off the relay (cut power to the socket)
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
  delay(5000); // Wait for 5 seconds before repeating
}

Note: Ensure the relay module is rated for the voltage and current requirements of the socket.

1. Can this socket be used for DC applications?

   • No, the socket is designed for AC applications only, with a rated voltage of 250V AC.

2. What type of DIN rail is required?

   • The socket is compatible with standard 35mm DIN rails (EN 60715).

3. Is the socket waterproof?

   • No, the socket is not waterproof. It should be installed in a dry, indoor environment or within a weatherproof enclosure.

4. Can I use this socket for high-power devices?

   • The socket supports up to 16A at 250V AC. Ensure the connected devices do not exceed this rating.

By following this documentation, users can confidently install and use the DIN RAIL MOUNT AC30 PINPLUG 3P MODULAR SOCKET in their electrical systems.
