PROTECTION
KO4300 series enclosures have an IP20 rating (finger protected) and meet VBG4 and other European accident prevention requirements.
CONSTRUCTION
The KO4300 enclosure series housings are supplied as unassembled kits. Each kit consists of a housing base, terminal cover side parts, terminal blocks
and a front plate. The double level terminal design keeps the enclosure width to a minimum freeing valuable DIN rail space. The terminals are machine
solderable with right angle pins. Integral printed circuit board guides are molded into the housing base to help with proper board insertion and
containment. Boards are mounted vertically in the enclosure, perpendicular to the DIN rail.
TERMINALS
Rising clamp screw terminals are used with the KO4300 series enclosures. Wires to be terminated are squeezed between the bottom of the rising clamp
and the terminal strip for reliable, gas-tight connections. The terminals can be machine soldered to the board in the same step as the other components to
save time and labor. All terminals have funnel shaped wire openings to eliminate wire fraying. The terminal screws can be turned with a flat tip or a #2
Philips screwdriver.
MOUNTING
The KO4300 series can easily be mounted on standard 35mm DIN rail by means of the integral mounting foot and DIN clip.

HOUSING ASSEMBLY
• Place all assemblies on a level surface
• Terminal blocks should be pre-assembled on the PCB
• Push the side parts over the terminal blocks ensuring that the guide pins of the terminal blocks slide into the holes of the side parts
• Snap the front plate onto the pre-mounted side parts
• Slide the PCB of the upper section into the guide groves of the base
• Slide the upper section into the base. Make sure that the wall areas overlap correctly and the guide element of the base slides
in the mating recess of the base.
• Push the assembly completely together so that the clips on the side parts snap into the recesses in the base
