DIN Rail Channel

1. Overview

DIN Rail Channel refers to standardized metal mounting systems designed for industrial equipment installation. Defined by German Institute for Standardization (DIN) norms, these rails provide modular mounting solutions for electrical and electronic components. Their importance stems from enabling rapid assembly, maintenance efficiency, and standardized integration across automation systems, power distribution networks, and control cabinets.

2. Main Types & Functional Classification

TypeFunctional FeaturesApplication Examples
TS35/7.5Standard profile with 35mm width, 7.5mm heightPLC modules, circuit breakers
TS32Narrow profile for compact installationsSignal conditioning devices
C-Type RailOpen-channel design for easy clip mountingIndustrial sensors, terminal blocks
Top-Hat RailReinforced edges for heavy-duty applicationsPower contactors, motor starters

3. Structure & Composition

Typical DIN Rail construction includes:

  • Material: Cold-rolled steel (CRS) or stainless steel (SS304/316)
  • Surface Treatment: Zinc coating (>8 m) or electrophoretic painting
  • Profile Geometry: Symmetrical "hat" shape with 2mm 0.1 tolerance
  • Mounting Features: Pre-punched holes (M4/M5) at 25-50mm intervals
