The Mounting Base Housing is a lower housing part suitable for DIN rail mounting, identified by the designation code ME-IO 18,8 B/FE 7/9U TBUS 7035. It includes a metal foot catch and a 7U Lock and Release system, enhancing its functional reliability.

Measuring 18.9 mm in width, 109.6 mm in height, and 64.3 mm in depth, this housing accommodates up to five cross connection positions. Its design incorporates ventilation openings to facilitate heat dissipation, ensuring operational efficiency.

The housing is constructed from polyamide, offering a flammability rating of V0 according to UL 94 standards, making it suitable for a range of environmental conditions. It can operate within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C, depending on power dissipation, and can be stored or transported at temperatures between -40 °C and 70 °C.

Additional features include a maximum ingress protection rating of IP20 and compatibility with a vertical PCB mounting type, accommodating one PCB holder. The assembly instructions should be observed for optimal performance, and it is recommended to use contact pads made of galvanic gold for the bus connector.
