Product Overview
The Pepperl+Fuchs UPR-E is a protective end cap used to terminate Universal Power Rails (UPR series) installed on DIN mounting rails. It ensures safe installation, protects exposed rail edges, and completes the power rail assembly used in signal interface modules and intrinsic safety barriers.
This accessory is commonly used together with Pepperl+Fuchs K-System modules, helping create a compact and efficient signal conditioning and power distribution infrastructure.
Key Features
1. Safe Termination of Power Rails
The UPR-E end cap closes the end of the universal power rail, preventing accidental contact with conductive elements and improving system safety.
2. Compatible with Multiple UPR Power Rails
It is designed for use with UPR-series universal power rails and profile rail systems such as K-DUCT, ensuring broad compatibility across Pepperl+Fuchs interface modules.
3. Compact and Durable Design
- Material: Polycarbonate
- Dimensions: 17 × 37 × 24 mm
- Weight: ~10 g
The robust housing ensures long-term durability in industrial environments.
4. DIN Rail Installation
The UPR-E is designed for mounting on standard 35 mm DIN rails (EN 60715), allowing quick installation and easy integration into control cabinets.
5. Wide Operating Temperature
Operating temperature range:
- –40°C to +70°C
This allows the component to perform reliably even in harsh industrial conditions.
Typical Applications
The Pepperl+Fuchs UPR-E end cap is widely used in automation systems where universal power rails distribute power and communication signals to interface modules.
Common applications include:
- Intrinsic safety barrier systems
- Signal conditioning systems
- Process control cabinets
