DIN Rail ChannelDIN rail channel is a type of hardware that is used to mount and support electrical and electronic components. It is typically made of metal, such as aluminum or steel, and is shaped like a channel or trough with a standardized cross-sectional profile. The DIN rail gets its name from the German industrial standards organization DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung), which developed the standard for this type of rail. DIN rail channel is commonly used in industrial and commercial buildings to mount and support circuit breakers, terminal blocks, and other electrical and electronic components. It is also used in some consumer products, such as appliance control panels and home automation systems. DIN rail channel is often used in conjunction with DIN rail mounting clips, which are used to securely attach components to the rail.
