Using these electronics housing kits customers can quickly and easily bring almost all THT PCB components, such as diodes, fuses or resistors, as well as microcontrollers, on to the DIN rail. Moreover, using the special breadboards that are available for each development kit, the desired components can be soldered by hand.
