Screw size on rack mount for DC switch

Tue Apr 10, 2018 9:30 pm

I'm looking at doing a custom mount for some of the WS-12-250-DC switches I have.

I was going to use the rack mount tabs to mount them... but I need to know what size the screws that go from the rackmount to the switch are (there are four on each size) as my thread gauges don't go that small.

Thanks

Did you find the screw size finaly?
Have to buy some since there's no ears and screw include with those switchs.

Hey Caspat, I didn't but just brought another rack mount kit and took the screws out of that.. are you mounting it in a rack or to a flat board? just the other option if it's going on a flat board, goto your local hardware shop, get a piece of 25mm wide aluminium bar that's 3mm thick.. bend it to fit over the top and screw it in on either side (I probably haven't expained it well, but it makes a nice easy generic mount.. I just use a piece of velcro to stop the switch possibly slipping down). Just be careful not to block any air holes!

If you want to mount one of our switches to the wall why not do it the way we provide you? Why re-invent the wheel? :crazy:

See this post.

I also need some extra ear screws for WS-12-250-DC (lost mine). Can I purchases these separately or can you tell me the size?
