DIN Rail Terminal Blocks (Detailed Review)

A detailed video review of DIN rail terminal blocks.

DIN rails are the long metal strips that form the core part of a global industry standard component rail-mounting system in equipment cabinet racks. DIN rails are designed for securely attaching electrical and industrial control products - such as circuit breakers, terminal blocks, power supplies, actuators, solenoids and so on - inside a typical equipment rack housing cabinet or frame.

The advantages of a DIN rail system:

They save time and work - components simply snap or slide into place on the DIN rail, rather than having to panel mount each individual component separately.

They save space - DIN rails allow for tight configurations of components and provide a convenient site for bringing internal and external wiring circuits together, ideal in limited space applications

They’re cost-effective, both in terms of DIN rail pricing itself and the potential it offers for high-density adjacent mounting - this can significantly reduce the overall amount of wiring and cabinet space needed

DIN rails promote neat and well-organised component layout, which is better for all-round safety and maintenance access
