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.
