Kanlux DB212S Surface-Mounted Modular Distribution Board, 2 x 12 Modules, IP40

The Kanlux DB212S is a surface-mounted modular distribution board engineered for efficient electrical management in indoor environments. This unit accommodates up to 24 modules across two rows, with each row holding 12 modules, offering a structured and accessible layout for circuit breakers, residual current devices, and other DIN-rail mounted components. Its robust construction and IP40 ingress protection rating ensure that internal electrical connections are shielded from solid objects, providing a reliable solution for residential and commercial electrical distribution.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Kanlux DB212S is its organized design, which simplifies the installation and maintenance of electrical circuits. By providing a dedicated space for modular devices, it helps maintain order within electrical systems, reducing the risk of accidental contact and improving overall safety. The surface-mounted configuration allows for straightforward installation on walls without the need for deep wall recesses, making it an ideal choice for both new construction projects and electrical system upgrades in existing buildings.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution systems
• Commercial office spaces
• Installation of circuit breakers and RCDs
• Indoor electrical control panels

When it may not be suitable

This distribution board is not intended for outdoor use or environments exposed to moisture, as the IP40 rating does not provide protection against water ingress. It is also not suitable for industrial settings where high levels of dust or mechanical impact protection beyond standard indoor requirements are necessary.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 24 modules (2 rows of 12)
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted
• Ingress protection: IP40
• Dimensions: 270 mm x 326 mm x 100 mm

How to use

The distribution board should be mounted on a flat, stable wall surface using appropriate hardware. Once secured, the modular devices are snapped onto the integrated DIN rails within the enclosure. Wiring should be routed through the designated entry points, ensuring that all connections are tightened according to electrical safety standards. After installation, the front cover should be securely attached to protect the internal components.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the wall surface is suitable for surface mounting
• Verify that the number of modules matches your circuit requirements
• Confirm the installation environment is dry and indoors

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the electrical installation is performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local safety regulations. Periodically inspect the enclosure for any signs of damage or loose connections to maintain system integrity.
