Products & services
DIN rail terminals
The IMO range of DIN Rail Terminals provides a comprehensive solution for electrical connection, distribution and control applications. Developed continuously to meet changing industry requirements, the range is manufactured from high-quality materials and offers a wide selection of terminal types and connection technologies for use across demanding industrial environments. The range includes traditional ER Series screw-clamp terminals, covering conductor cross-sections from 2.5mm² up to 240mm². Options include feed-through, earth, high-current, multi-deck, sensor, disconnect, fuse, distribution and test/disconnect terminals, providing flexibility for a broad variety of panel-building and machine applications. For faster installation, IMO also offers PF Push Fit terminals alongside spring-clamp connection technology. Spring-clamp terminals provide a vibration-proof, long-term stable connection, with contact force applied independently of the installer for consistent and reliable termination.
Miniature Circuit Breakers
The IMO range of Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) provides reliable protection for electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Designed for use across domestic, commercial and industrial applications, the range combines dependable circuit protection with a broad choice of configurations to suit different installation requirements. IMO MCBs are available across B, C and D tripping characteristics, allowing the appropriate response to be selected for different types of electrical loads. The range includes current ratings from 2A to 63A, with 1P, 1P+N, 2P, 3P and 3P+N configurations available across selected models. For applications where higher fault protection is required, IMO offers 10kA breaking capacity models as standard for industrial use, alongside 6kA and selected 4.5kA options. The range is manufactured in accordance with IEC 60898-1, with selected models carrying CE, VDE, Kema Keur and RCM approvals and RoHS compliance.
AC Isolators
The IMO range of AC Isolators provides safe, reliable and straightforward electrical isolation for machinery, control panels and industrial equipment. Designed for demanding applications, the range offers a broad choice of configurations to meet different current ratings, installation methods and system requirements. Available in a variety of pole configurations and current ratings, IMO AC Isolators provide flexible solutions for safely disconnecting equipment from the electrical supply during maintenance, servicing or emergency situations. With options including enclosed, DIN rail, base, panel and single-hole mounting, installers can select the configuration that best suits their application. Selected models also offer IP66 protection, making them suitable for harsher industrial environments where protection against dust and water ingress is important. Safety and ease of operation are central to the design, with high-visibility red/yellow handle options and multiple padlocking positions helping ensure equipment remains safely isolated when required. Black handle options are also available for applications where a different configuration is preferred. A wide selection of accessories, including auxiliary contacts, neutral and earth blocks, extension shafts and terminal covers, provides additional flexibility when integrating an isolator into a machine or electrical system
Surge Protection Devices
The IMO Surge Protection Device (SPD) range provides reliable protection for electrical installations and sensitive equipment against damaging transient overvoltages. Electrical surges can be caused by lightning, switching electrical equipment, damaged wiring, power-line faults and other supply disturbances, potentially damaging equipment, wiring and stored data. SPDs work by limiting excessive voltage and safely diverting it away from the installation. IMO’s range offers Type 2 and Type 3 surge protection, providing solutions for both distribution boards and additional protection close to sensitive equipment. Type 2 devices help prevent overvoltages spreading through low-voltage electrical installations, while Type 3 protection can provide an additional level of protection for sensitive loads. Designed to simplify product selection, the range includes compact 1P+N, 2-pole and 4-pole configurations, with solutions suitable for 20kA and 40kA maximum discharge surge currents. Universal models support TN, TT and IT earthing systems, allowing the range to cover a wide variety of electrical installations. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to pluggable, replaceable modules. Modules can be interchanged across compatible 2 and 4-pole devices, while coding pins and guides help ensure correct installation. A simple green/red status indicator provides an immediate visual indication of whether the module is healthy or requires replacement. For installations where panel space is limited, the SPDS Series offers a compact single-module solution while retaining Type 2/3 protection. The range features IP20 protection, 35mm DIN rail mounting and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, with the SPDS models conforming to IEC 61643-11:2011 and EN 61643-11:2012.
Industrial Power Supplies
The IMO Industrial Power Supply range provides reliable and efficient power for industrial control and automation applications. Designed to offer flexibility across a wide variety of installations, the range includes solutions for both standard control systems and more demanding applications where power availability and reliability are critical. With models offering 24VDC and 48VDC outputs and power ratings extending up to 480W, the range provides options to suit different system requirements. Selected high-performance models achieve efficiencies of up to 92%, helping reduce power losses and heat generation within control panels. Designed for industrial environments, selected models feature robust metal housings, DIN rail mounting and fanless free-air convection cooling, reducing the reliance on moving components while simplifying installation and maintenance. Wide operating temperature capabilities also make the range suitable for challenging control panel environments. Built-in protection features help safeguard both the power supply and connected equipment, with selected models incorporating overload, overvoltage and short-circuit protection with automatic recovery. Adjustable output voltage, DC ON indication and DC OK relay functionality are also available across selected units. For systems where continuity of power is essential, IMO's REDMOD20 redundancy module enables power supplies to be configured for 1+1 or 1+n redundancy, helping improve system reliability and minimise the risk of downtime caused by a single power supply failure. Selected higher-power models also support parallel current sharing, with the 480W HPS model capable of configurations up to 3840W using 7+1 paralleling, providing additional flexibility for applications with greater power demands.
