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 [[Special:MyLanguage/Overcurrent protection|breakers]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Overcurrent protection|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 [[Special:MyLanguage/Busbar|busbar]] for [[Series and parallel|parallel connections]]. They are only intended to be used as a method for mounting equipment.
