Hey everyone - I've recently become interested in DIN rail solutions for wiring 12V systems. Typically I've used simple screw terminal blocks and I'm looking for something a little more modern, easier to organize, easier to scale, and overall safer. DIN rails check most of the boxes.
My particular application is marine and the requirement is screws against a plate which compress a multi-stranded wire. That's pretty much the standard for DIN anyway.
The first part of my project requires a new terminal and I was wondering - What is the best practice for wiring DIN terminal blocks?
Should I have two separate red/black color coded blocks for the positive and ground? I haven't really seen this setup.
Or should I use a double-level terminal block and set the bottom level as ground and top level as positive?
The double level block seems to make the most sense to me.
