EMERSON UMK-SE 11.25-1+UMK-FE – Slim DIN‑rail housing set for compact I/O and signal interface builds
The EMERSON UMK-SE 11.25-1+UMK-FE is a slimline DIN‑rail electronics housing set (11.25 mm pitch) commonly selected for tight Emerson cabinet layouts—think marshalling, interposing, or small OEM signal conditioning modules. From my experience, it’s a neat way to package a custom PCB or low‑profile interface where panel space is scarce, while keeping wiring and labeling tidy for DeltaV or Ovation panels.
You might notice that this combination balances density and serviceability: the UMK‑SE 11.25‑1 forms the narrow enclosure body, and the UMK‑FE provides the closed front/end element for a finished, field‑ready face. It typically snaps to 35 mm DIN rail, so installers can drop it into standard control cabinets without reworking rails or backplates.
Key Features
- 11.25 mm slim profile – Maximizes cabinet density; ideal for adding a few channels where rail space is limited.
- Two‑piece set – UMK‑SE 11.25‑1 housing with UMK‑FE front/end element creates a clean, closed assembly for field use.
- DIN‑rail snap‑on – Mounts on standard 35 mm EN 60715 rails; easy insert and removal during commissioning.
- PCB‑friendly design – Supports a small printed circuit board for signal conditioning or interface logic (dimensions depend on board layout).
- Service labeling area – Flat front face typically allows clear channel tags and device IDs to reduce wiring errors.
- Industrial thermoplastic – Flame‑retardant housing material (commonly UL 94 V‑0 class) for control cabinet environments.
Technical Specifications

Application Fields
In many cases, this set is used wherever you need a discreet, robust housing for small interface electronics inside Emerson‑based systems:
- Process I/O marshalling – interposing boards for DI/DO wetting, fuse/diode ORing, or channel isolation.
- Analog loop handling – miniature 4–20 mA conditioning or splitters packaged per loop.
- OEM skids – compact custom PCBs for valve, pump, or analyzer interfaces in validated cabinets.
- Brownfield expansions – add a few functions without redesigning backpanels or sacrificing service access.
Feedback from a panel builder: “We keep UMK‑SE 11.25 housings on hand. When engineering sneaks in two more loops, these let us add the circuitry and still keep rail spacing code‑compliant.”
Advantages & Value
- Space efficiency – 11.25 mm width helps maintain clearances in dense DeltaV/Ovation cabinets.
- Flexibility – Housing is neutral to the electronics, so you can standardize the form factor and vary the PCB design.
- Service clarity – A proper front/end element (UMK‑FE) gives you a finished face for tagging and safer cable routing.
- Procurement friendly – Simple mechanical parts with predictable lead times; keeps BOM costs down for small add‑ons.
- Compatibility – Works with standard 35 mm DIN rail and common cabinet accessories; no unusual hardware.

Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet environment – Install on EN 60715 35 mm DIN rail within a ventilated enclosure; keep ambient within the PCB and housing temperature limits.
- PCB fit – Verify board outline, component height, and terminal orientation before production; leave room for labeling and finger‑safe clearances.
- Wiring practice – Segregate high‑energy and low‑level signals; use cable ferrules where specified; strain‑relieve field wiring to avoid stress on terminals.
- Grounding – If your PCB includes shields/PE, provide a reliable earth bonding point on the rail or nearby ground bar.
- Upkeep – Periodically check terminal tightness, refresh labels, and remove dust with dry air. No firmware or calibration applies to the housing itself.

Quality & Certifications
- Material compliance – Housing materials are typically UL 94 V‑0 and RoHS compliant.
- CE/UL context – As a mechanical housing, it’s generally used within CE/UL assessed assemblies; final compliance depends on the complete module.
- Warranty – Standard hardware warranty terms apply (commonly one year from shipment, varies by region and program).
