While I was at home during the war, I decided to be useful to this world and make a handy mount for the Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer to the DIN rail.

Today there are a lot of Raspberry cases on the market. They all perform one function or another. But only few of them have a DIN rail mount option. This is very necessary since the computer is often installed in wiring closets.

To solve this problem, engineers use additional fasteners that are screwed to the main body of the Raspberry. Some print special " feet" on a 3D printer.

However, such mounting methods provide few options for the position in which the computer can be installed. Basically, it is mounted parallel to the mounting plate. And all the necessary expansion boards (if any) are screwed on top or bottom. This way the computer takes up the most space.

But what to do when box space is tight? Or when you have to mount the Raspberry in a position where the USB and Ethernet connectors are facing the user?

And of course, what kind of mounting or enclosure is there when you have to install multiple expansion cards?

The solution is to use these mounting covers. The Raspberry can be placed sideways (so that it takes up less than 40 mm of the DIN rail). There are both horizontal and vertical versions.

You can also install an unlimited number of expansion cards. Mounting plates in this case move apart relative to each other.

If necessary, it is possible to install a 30x30x10 fan. There are also cutouts for connectors and cables.

The material is acrylic, 5 mm!
