#4650 — DIN rails and diodes

I am building an industrial sensor system for warehouse and need to isolate 
some inputs using blocking diodes (simple rectifiers will suffice).


To do this in the DIN rail configuration will take 2 terminal blocks, one for 
each connection to the diode.

It would be so much easier if there were single-position DIN-rail diodes that 
just snap onto the rail with a screw- or push-terminal on each end. Or a 
DIN-rail blank (dunno what to call it): a pair of screw terminals on the top 
for attaching the diode, and the usual screw- or push-terminals for wiring it 
into the circuit.

Surely one of these must exist… but searching turns up nothing.

Ideas?

Thanks.

I see some multiple (x8) units on ebay, mebbe an enquiry might turn up 
smaller units??

I'd ask Phoenix Contact:

Yep - I second that.

Phoenix Contact has several, in different shapes.  Go to
http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/connectors-interconnects/terminal-blocks-din-rail-channel
and select "diode" in the "Features" box over on the far right, and also
check the "in stock" box... I get 34 of them, about $3.50 to $22 quantity
one, depending on style.
