A DIN rail is a standardized metal rail that is widely used in the electrical field to mount many different types of electrical equipment including breakers, fuse holders and terminal blocks. The equipment is designed to use pressure to snap onto the DIN rail or to be tightened down with a screw. Terminal blocks are used to create safe and secure connections. They are frequently used to transition between wire types or are connected together to create a busbar for parallel connections. They are only intended to be used as a method for mounting equipment.
