DIN rails are metal mounting strips used as a standardised solution for securing electrical and industrial control components within equipment enclosures. They provide a stable and organised framework for installing devices like circuit breakers, terminal blocks, power supplies, actuators, and solenoids inside cabinet racks or control panels. 'DIN' is an abbreviation for Deutsches Institut für Normung, which translates to German Institute for Standardization in English. DIN standards ensure consistency, safety, and interoperability across various industries, including engineering, manufacturing, and electrical systems. The DIN rail, for example, follows a specific set of dimensions and guidelines established by this institute to ensure compatibility with electrical components worldwide.
