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.
DIN rails are a space-saving way to accommodate com-
ponents. And because DIN rail devices are so easy to install,
replace, maintain, and inspect, this is an exceptionally conven-
ient system that has become very popular in recent years.
A standard DIN rail is 35 mm 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.
