Abstract
A device for locking to a DIN rail includes a shaft defining an axis of rotation and first and second rail-engaging members connected to the shaft. The rail-engaging members are each shaped to engage a DIN rail in a respective engaging position. The shaft is rotatable about the axis of rotation and thereby arranged to urge each rail-engaging member into its respective engaging position with a DIN rail positioned between the first and second rail-engaging members. Other example devices for locking to a DIN rail and methods of mounting component(s) to a DIN rail are also disclosed.
