Review on Dinkle Distribution DK2 5N WE Connector Terminal by Zach Peterson

DIN Terminal Blocks Make A Reliable DIY Connection System

DIN Rail Terminal Blocks are a simple and dependable tool for quickly creating a reliable electrical connection for DIY projects. The contacts are galvanically isolated and the wire is securely fastened with a screw terminal (note: glasses-sized screwdriver required - not included). I was able to insert two stranded 12 AWG wires into the same terminal. This allowed me to daisy chain the power connectors without having to pay $28 for a set of 10 jumpers - only one additional jumper was required. It would be helpful to offer a smaller kit size at a reduced price. (-.5 Stars). Another small issue: the indentations where the jumpers connect are also good test points for measuring voltage, continuity, etc. They're not deep enough for my voltmeter probe - it kept falling. Also, there is a slight bulge on the molded plastic that my probe caught before it made electrical contact. I had a confusing few minutes of troubleshooting before I figured it out (- another 0.5 stars).

Pros
  • Terminal Blocks
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price
