The FM 4/TS35 mounting foot from Weidmüller is an accessory for terminal blocks, specifically designed to support the alignment of the terminal block. It serves as a mechanical aid for mounting and securing terminal blocks in enclosures or on mounting plates. The product is made of steel and features a bare surface, making it suitable for industrial applications requiring a robust and maintenance-free design.

Mounting foot
The FM 4/TS35 mounting foot is directly attached to the terminal block to facilitate its positioning and securing. It enables precise and secure alignment of the terminal block, reducing mounting time and increasing mounting accuracy. The design ensures stable holding of the terminal block while allowing easy handling. Using the mounting foot is particularly advantageous during installation in tight or hard-to-reach areas, where manual positioning of the terminal block would be difficult.

Applications
The mounting foot is designed for use in industrial electrical engineering, particularly in enclosures, control systems, and distributors. It is used in installations with terminal blocks where secure and quick mounting of the blocks is required. Applications typically include electrical installations, mounting of control and switching devices, and automation technology. The bare steel surface makes it suitable for environments where no additional coatings or corrosion protection layers are needed.

Functions and equipment in detail
The FM 4/TS35 mounting foot is a mechanical aid that does not perform any electrical functions. Its main function is to stabilize the terminal block during mounting and support its exact positioning. The shape and dimensions of the mounting foot are tailored to the terminal blocks in the FM series to ensure a secure and precise fit. It can be used without additional tools or mounting aids, as it is directly adapted to the terminal block.

Technology explained simply
The mounting foot operates purely mechanically. It is attached to the terminal block, holding it in the desired position until it is finally secured. Stability is achieved through the shape and material strength of the steel. The bare surface provides no additional protective functions and is designed for industrial use without special environmental requirements. Mounting is done without additional fastening elements, as the mounting foot is directly hung or inserted into the terminal block.

Compatibility and accessories
The FM 4/TS35 mounting foot is specifically developed for terminal blocks in the FM series from Weidmüller. It is compatible with the corresponding terminal block models offered in the FM series. Use with other terminal blocks or manufacturers is not intended and may result in inadequate mounting or damage. No additional accessories are specifically offered for this mounting foot. The combination is exclusively with FM series terminal blocks.

Mounting and installation
Mounting of the mounting foot is done directly onto the terminal block. No additional tools or fastening elements are required. The terminal block is placed in the intended position, and the mounting foot is attached to stabilize it. Installation is typically performed by professionals in electrical installation or automation technology.

Advantages in operation
Using the FM 4/TS35 mounting foot reduces mounting time and increases accuracy when securing terminal blocks. The mechanical stabilization during alignment prevents shifting and ensures secure positioning. This is particularly beneficial during installation in complex enclosures or when mounting multiple terminal blocks in a short time. The robust steel construction ensures long service life and reliable performance under industrial conditions.
