What is a DIN Rail?
A DIN Rail (Deutsches Institut für Normung Rail) is a standardized metal rail used for mounting circuit breakers, terminal blocks, control devices, relays, and industrial electrical panels.
Material: Usually cold-rolled carbon steel or aluminum (sometimes stainless steel)
Finish: Zinc-plated, chromated, or powder-coated
Standards: EN 50022, IEC/EN 60715
