Hoffman Panel Hardware
The purpose of Hoffman DIN rail is to provide a means of attaching electrical and automation components to control panels and industrial enclosures. Typically found in control cabinets and electrical panels, DIN rail is a standard specification for mounting terminal blocks, relays, power supplies, circuit breakers, and other control devices to a panel or enclosure. DIN rail can make your panel layouts cleaner, and make component mounting more reliable.
There are a number of reasons why Hoffman DIN rail is ideal for use in industrial control panels. DIN rail provides a standard size for components to be mounted to the rail, and makes it easier to add, remove, or reposition components as needed. This makes panel design easier, saves time during installation, and makes your panels easier to service later on. A major reason to use Hoffman DIN rail is its strength and durability. Hoffman DIN rail is designed to be used in an industrial setting, and some products are rated to operate under vibration, extreme temperatures, and continuous operation once installed in a control panel. A sturdy rail will ensure that your components stay attached and mounted properly for the entire life of your enclosure.
