replacement DIN rail parts

Hello, I recently picked up an old 1980s Bridgeport Series II CNC, and during transit some of the Feed-through terminals on the DIN Rail(I think thats what its called) for the T2 transformer broke....

So pretty much, I dont have a clue where to find replacement pieces for it, and I need to find 12 of them. Ive done searches, and have found DIN rail parts from a few different manufacturers, but none of them look like they will attach to the DIN rail that is permanently attached to the T2 transformer... HELP!

Thanks in advance,
Earl

What is the shape of the DIN rail, there are several profiles of DIN rail.
If this just terminals that are DIN rail mount, then there are several manuf. Phoenix Contact, Allen-Bradley, Weidmuller, EntreLec for e.g.
Most of the above will fit different profiles i.e.Universal.

heres a rough diagram of the profile(not to scale, but pretty close for freehand sketch)

the red parts are where the metal pieces are, although the one at the bottom I'm almost positive is just a spring

Unfortunately, this is not one of the universal types, the more common DIN profile now is the low profile U shape.
But these are common items by Weidmuller.
If you post the number on them or the wire gauge required I could probabally give you a part number, either by Weidmuller or others.
You can also get many of these off ebay.

I just wanna say thanks a BUNCH! I went onto the Weidmuller site and found the part!

So now i just gotta find somewhere that sells the Weidmuller SAK 6N, 6mm2 feed-through terminal block in lots of like 10 or 20, instead of 100s like the Weidmuller site, heh.

Phone some of the Electrical Wholesalers in your area.
Also ebay.
Like I said, you can also get the type that cover 2 or 3 profiles. That will fit on your rail, just that they won't exactly match the look of yours.

Actually, I found the part by doing a search for the actual part number and stuff on google, and Newark.com came up with some results. So I think I was able to buy the EXACT replacement parts, AND! in any amount you would ever need

So yea, thanks again, cause that first little tidbit you gave me about the Weidmuller site was the key to my problem, and I should be receiving my parts today :-) woohoo!
