DIN rail usage.

DIN rail is an industry-standard metal rail, usually installed

inside an electrical enclosure, which serves as a mount for

small electrical devices specially designed for use with DIN

rails. These devices snap right onto the rails, sometimes

requiring a set screw, and are then wired together.

Many different devices are available for mounting on DIN

rails: terminal blocks, interface converters, media converter

switches, repeaters, surge protectors, PLCs, fuses, or power

supplies, just to name a few.

DIN rails are a space-saving way to accommodate

components. And because DIN rail devices are so easy to install,

replace, maintain, and inspect, this is an exceptionally convenient

system that has become very popular in recent years.

A standard DIN rail is 35 millimeters wide with raised-lip

edges, its dimensions outlined by the Deutsche Institut für

Normung, a German standardization body. Rails are generally

available in aluminum or steel and may be cut for installation.

Depending on the requirements of the mounted components,

the rail may need to be grounded.
