  • both electronic devices are power supplies.
  • power supplies there is often the need to connect side by side mounted on a DIN rail devices together.
  • higher outputs can be output by coupling several standard devices.
  • merger multiple power supply for redundant supply to a consumer can be realized in this way.
  • Status data is exchanged via the electrical connection between the devices in order to ensure the maintenance of the supply by the other device in the event of a device failure.
  • the present invention solution thus enables a particularly flexible and scalable use of power supplies in industrial plants.
  • the assembly method according to the invention provides that by means of a mounting movement of the connector, the formations of the device housing with the Schwarzausformungen of the connector housing and the contacts of the devices are connected to the mating contacts of the connector. On the one hand this saves time and on the other hand it is ensured by the combination of the formations and Schwarzausformungen that the correct electrical contacts are connected.
