Understanding the Standard<\/h2>\n\n <p>Whether you stock electrical components for panel builders or specify parts for your own projects, you deal with one piece of hardware constantly: the metal rail running across the backplate that terminal blocks, circuit breakers, relays, and power supplies all snap onto in neat rows. That rail is a DIN rail. And its dimensions are not arbitrary \u2014 getting them right matters for every customer you serve.<\/p>\n\n <p>DIN rail traces back to 1928, when the German electrical utility RWE needed a standardized way to mount components inside equipment enclosures. The concept was later commercialized by Phoenix Contact and codified into a series of standards that evolved from the original German DIN 46277-3, through the European EN 50022, to today’s international <strong>IEC 60715<\/strong> (current edition: 2017, Edition 2.0). In Germany, the corresponding national standard is DIN EN 60715 \/ VDE 0660-520:2018-07.<\/p>\n\n <p>“DIN rail” does not refer to a single size. IEC 60715 defines four standard profiles, each identified by two numbers: width and height in millimeters. The 35 mm wide TS35 family accounts for over 90% of global installations. But even within TS35, two distinct depth variants serve very different purposes.<\/p>\n\n <p>Think of DIN rail like a LEGO baseplate: a universal mechanical interface that lets components from different manufacturers \u2014 a Schneider MCB, a Weidm\u00fcller terminal block, a Siemens PLC module \u2014 all snap onto the same mounting system.<\/p>\n\n \n <div class=\"bp-stat-callout bd-reveal\">\n <span class=\"bp-stat-icon\"><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M3 3v18h18\"\/><path d=\"M7 16l4-8 4 4 4-6\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\n <span class=\"bp-stat-numeral\">90%<\/span>\n <span class=\"bp-stat-label\">of global DIN rail installations use TS35 \u00d7 7.5<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <h2>Standard DIN Rail Dimensions by Type<\/h2>\n\n <p>IEC 60715 recognizes four standard DIN rail profiles, each defined by a unique width \u00d7 height combination. The TS35 series dominates modern installations; TS15 and TS32 serve specific niche applications. Below, each type is broken down with exact dimensions, tolerances, and typical use cases.<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS35 \u00d7 7.5 \u2014 The Global Standard Top-Hat Rail<\/h3>\n\n <p>When an engineer says “DIN rail” without qualification, they mean TS35 \u00d7 7.5. This is the universal default. You’ll find it in virtually every control panel, distribution board, and automation cabinet worldwide.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 35 mm (\u00b10.3 mm tolerance per IEC 60715)<\/li>\n <li>Height: 7.5 mm (+0 \/ \u22120.4 mm tolerance)<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.0 mm (cold-rolled steel DC01, per EN 10130)<\/li>\n <li>Weight: approximately 0.30\u20130.35 kg per meter (zinc-plated steel)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p><strong>Typical applications:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs): a standard 18 mm-wide single-pole MCB snaps directly onto TS35<\/li>\n <li>Terminal blocks: the vast majority of screw-clamp and spring-clamp terminals are TS35-compatible<\/li>\n <li>PLC I\/O modules, signal conditioners, and small relays<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>Most perforated TS35 rails feature oblong mounting slots measuring 6.2 mm \u00d7 15 mm on 25 mm center-to-center spacing. This hole pattern is a de facto industry convention. IEC 60715 does not explicitly mandate it, but virtually every manufacturer follows it. Standard supply lengths are 1 meter and 2 meters, with custom cuts available from most suppliers.<\/p>\n\n <p>For quick reference: one meter of TS35 \u00d7 7.5 accommodates roughly 10\u201312 standard single-pole MCBs (18 mm each), or about 150\u2013200 compact terminal blocks (5\u20136 mm each).<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS35 \u00d7 15 \u2014 The Deep Top-Hat for Heavy-Duty Applications<\/h3>\n\n <p>Same 35 mm width, double the depth \u2014 and significantly more than double the rigidity.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 35 mm<\/li>\n <li>Height: 15 mm<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.5 mm (some manufacturers offer 2.0\u20132.3 mm reinforced versions)<\/li>\n <li>Weight: approximately 0.62\u20130.65 kg per meter<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>The critical difference is structural. The 15 mm deep profile has roughly 3\u20134 times the section modulus of the 7.5 mm version, so it resists bending under heavy loads far better. In vibration-prone environments \u2014 machinery control cabinets on factory floors, panels inside moving equipment \u2014 TS35 \u00d7 15 is the standard choice.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>When to use TS35 \u00d7 15 instead of TS35 \u00d7 7.5:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Mounting heavy power supplies (200W and above)<\/li>\n <li>Large contactors and motor starters<\/li>\n <li>Any component weighing more than 2\u20133 kg individually<\/li>\n <li>Environments with continuous mechanical vibration<\/li>\n <li>When mounting screw spacing exceeds 400 mm: the deeper profile bridges longer spans without sagging<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>A practical rule of thumb: if you can feel the weight of the component when you pick it up with one hand, mount it on TS35 \u00d7 15.<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS15 \u2014 The Miniature Rail for Compact Spaces<\/h3>\n\n <p>TS15 is the scaled-down sibling. Same top-hat geometry, but 15 mm wide and just 5.5 mm high.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 15 mm (\u00b10.15 mm \u2014 tighter tolerance than TS35)<\/li>\n <li>Height: 5.5 mm (\u00b10.1 mm)<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.0 mm<\/li>\n <li>Weight: approximately 0.14 kg per meter<\/li>\n <li>Governing standard: EN 50045 (not EN 50022)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>TS15 serves compact junction boxes, building automation controllers, and miniature relay modules where a full 35 mm rail would waste valuable enclosure space. It is also common in HVAC control panels and lighting control systems.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Important compatibility note:<\/strong> TS15-mounted components cannot be snapped directly onto a TS35 rail. If you need to mix TS15 and TS35 devices in the same panel, you’ll need adapter brackets or separate rail sections.<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS32 (G-Section) \u2014 The Legacy Heavy-Duty Rail<\/h3>\n\n <p>TS32 is the oldest profile still in active use, dating from the pre-IEC era. Unlike the symmetrical top-hat shape, TS32 has an asymmetrical G-shaped cross-section.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 32 mm<\/li>\n <li>Height: 15 mm<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.5 mm<\/li>\n <li>Governing standard: EN 50035<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>The asymmetrical G-profile provides an accidental benefit: components can only be slid on from one direction, creating natural polarity protection. You physically cannot install a device upside down. This made TS32 popular for heavy-duty contactors, large transformers, and motor starters in older European installations.<\/p>\n\n <p>Today, most TS32 applications have migrated to TS35 \u00d7 15. TS32 still appears in legacy equipment retrofits, however, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. A C-section variant (C20, C30, C40, C50 \u2014 named by height in mm) also exists, primarily in markets influenced by Australian standard AS 2756-1997.<\/p>\n\n <p>For new designs, TS35 \u00d7 15 is the recommended replacement for TS32 in nearly all cases.<\/p>\n\n <h2>DIN Rail Size Comparison at a Glance<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Gemini_Generated_Image_p0ish3p0ish3p0is.webp\" alt=\"\u63cf\u8ff0\u6587\u5b57\" class=\"bd-post-image\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n <p>If you need a single reference to confirm a DIN rail dimension, this is it.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n <table>\n <thead><tr><th>\u0422\u0438\u043f<\/th><th>Width<\/th><th>Height<\/th><th>Thickness<\/th><th>Weight (kg\/m)<\/th><th>\u041b\u0443\u0447\u0448\u0435\u0435 \u0434\u043b\u044f<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr><td><strong>TS35 \u00d7 7.5<\/strong><\/td><td>35 mm<\/td><td>7.5 mm<\/td><td>1.0 mm<\/td><td>0.30\u20130.35<\/td><td>MCBs, terminals, relays, PLCs<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td><strong>TS35 \u00d7 15<\/strong><\/td><td>35 mm<\/td><td>15 mm<\/td><td>1.5 mm<\/td><td>0.62\u20130.65<\/td><td>Power supplies, contactors, heavy loads<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td><strong>TS15<\/strong><\/td><td>15 mm<\/td><td>5.5 mm<\/td><td>1.0 mm<\/td><td>0.14<\/td><td>Compact boxes, miniature relays<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td><strong>TS32 (G)<\/strong><\/td><td>32 mm<\/td><td>15 mm<\/td><td>1.5 mm<\/td><td>~0.58<\/td><td>Legacy contactors, transformers<\/td><\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n\n <p><strong>Inch equivalents<\/strong> (for markets where imperial units are specified):<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>35 mm = 1.378″<\/li>\n <li>15 mm = 0.591″<\/li>\n <li>7.5 mm = 0.295″<\/li>\n <li>5.5 mm = 0.217″<\/li>\n <li>32 mm = 1.260″<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p><strong>Standard mounting hole pattern<\/strong> (perforated rail): 6.2 mm \u00d7 15 mm oblong slots on 25 mm center-to-center spacing.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Standard supply lengths:<\/strong> 1 meter and 2 meters.

It is also the one that causes the most expensive surprises in export projects.<\/p>\n\n <p>DIN rail itself does not carry a CE mark. It is a component, not a finished device. But using non-standard rail can cause your entire panel assembly to fail certification in the target market.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Market-by-market standards reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n <table>\n <thead><tr><th>Market<\/th><th>Applicable Standard<\/th><th>Key Difference<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr><td>European Union<\/td><td>IEC\/EN 60715<\/td><td>Default global standard<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td>North America<\/td><td>UL 60715<\/td><td>Technically identical to IEC 60715, but UL listing is a separate certification.

It is the most widely accepted reference globally. For North American panels, confirm that the rail carries a UL Recognized Component mark. This is separate from IEC compliance and is checked during UL 508A panel inspections.<\/p>\n\n <h2>Sourcing DIN Rail: What to Look for When Buying<\/h2>\n\n <p>Once you’ve nailed down the size, material, and compliance requirements, the procurement step has its own checklist. These five points will save you from the most common sourcing pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>1. Demand IEC 60715 compliance documentation.<\/strong> Any reputable supplier should provide a material certificate and dimensional conformance report on request. If they can’t produce one, walk away. Dimensional deviations as small as 0.5 mm on the flange lip can prevent components from seating correctly.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>2. Clarify perforation requirements upfront.<\/strong> Perforated rail (with pre-punched mounting slots) is the default for most applications. If you need unperforated rail \u2014 for example, when you plan to drill custom mounting holes \u2014 specify this before ordering. Confirm hole dimensions (6.2 \u00d7 15 mm is standard) and center-to-center spacing (25 mm).<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>3. Verify material and coating specifications.<\/strong> Don’t accept “steel” as a material description. Request the specific grade (DC01 per EN 10130 is standard for cold-rolled steel), the zinc coating thickness (minimum 6 \u00b5m), and the passivation treatment. For stainless steel orders, the mill certificate should state the exact grade: 1.4301 for 304, 1.4401\/1.4404 for 316.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>4. Confirm supply lengths and minimum order quantities.<\/strong> Standard lengths are 1 m and 2 m. If your design requires non-standard lengths, confirm whether cutting is included or charged separately. Typical minimum order quantities for industrial DIN rail range from 100 to 500 meters, depending on the supplier and specification.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>5. Check packaging and transportation protection.<\/strong> DIN rail is long, thin, and easily bent during shipping. Confirm that the supplier uses rigid packaging \u2014 ideally wooden crates or reinforced cardboard tubes for lengths over 1 m. A bent rail that looks fine to the naked eye can cause mounting failures once components are loaded.<\/p>\n\n \n <div class=\"bp-checklist-card bd-reveal\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-title\">\n <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M11 18h2\"\/><path d=\"M11 14h4\"\/><path d=\"M11 10h4\"\/><path d=\"M7 6h1\"\/><path d=\"M5 2h14a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v16a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V4a2 2 0 0 1 2-2z\"\/><\/svg>\n Before You Order\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">1<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Demand IEC 60715 compliance docs<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Material certificate + dimensional conformance report<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">2<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Clarify perforation requirements<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Perforated or unperforated; confirm 6.2\u00d715mm slots on 25mm centers<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">3<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Verify material-grade specs<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">DC01 steel, zinc \u22656\u00b5m, SS grade on mill certificate<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">4<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Confirm lengths and MOQ<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Standard 1m\/2m; custom cutting; MOQ 100-500m typical<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">5<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Check packaging protection<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Rigid packaging for lengths >1m; bent rail = mounting failure<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <p>Here’s the reality of industrial distribution: DIN rail itself is a low-margin item. But the time cost of sourcing rail from one supplier, terminal blocks from another, relays from a third, and power supplies from a fourth eats into your margin fast. The distributors who win are the ones who consolidate \u2014 one supplier relationship that covers the rail and everything that mounts on it. Your customers get one shipment, one invoice, and you get one supplier to manage instead of four.<\/p>\n\n <p><em>For distributors evaluating supply partners, OMCH maintains a catalog spanning 30+ product categories and over 3,000 SKUs \u2014 covering DIN-rail compatible components from power supplies and MCBs to relays and terminals.

Understanding the Standard<\/h2>\n\n <p>Whether you stock electrical components for panel builders or specify parts for your own projects, you deal with one piece of hardware constantly: the metal rail running across the backplate that terminal blocks, circuit breakers, relays, and power supplies all snap onto in neat rows. That rail is a DIN rail. And its dimensions are not arbitrary \u2014 getting them right matters for every customer you serve.<\/p>\n\n <p>DIN rail traces back to 1928, when the German electrical utility RWE needed a standardized way to mount components inside equipment enclosures. The concept was later commercialized by Phoenix Contact and codified into a series of standards that evolved from the original German DIN 46277-3, through the European EN 50022, to today’s international <strong>IEC 60715<\/strong> (current edition: 2017, Edition 2.0). In Germany, the corresponding national standard is DIN EN 60715 \/ VDE 0660-520:2018-07.<\/p>\n\n <p>“DIN rail” does not refer to a single size. IEC 60715 defines four standard profiles, each identified by two numbers: width and height in millimeters. The 35 mm wide TS35 family accounts for over 90% of global installations. But even within TS35, two distinct depth variants serve very different purposes.<\/p>\n\n <p>Think of DIN rail like a LEGO baseplate: a universal mechanical interface that lets components from different manufacturers \u2014 a Schneider MCB, a Weidm\u00fcller terminal block, a Siemens PLC module \u2014 all snap onto the same mounting system.<\/p>\n\n \n <div class=\"bp-stat-callout bd-reveal\">\n <span class=\"bp-stat-icon\"><svg width=\"20\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M3 3v18h18\"\/><path d=\"M7 16l4-8 4 4 4-6\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\n <span class=\"bp-stat-numeral\">90%<\/span>\n <span class=\"bp-stat-label\">of global DIN rail installations use TS35 \u00d7 7.5<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n <h2>Standard DIN Rail Dimensions by Type<\/h2>\n\n <p>IEC 60715 recognizes four standard DIN rail profiles, each defined by a unique width \u00d7 height combination. The TS35 series dominates modern installations; TS15 and TS32 serve specific niche applications. Below, each type is broken down with exact dimensions, tolerances, and typical use cases.<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS35 \u00d7 7.5 \u2014 The Global Standard Top-Hat Rail<\/h3>\n\n <p>When an engineer says “DIN rail” without qualification, they mean TS35 \u00d7 7.5. This is the universal default. You’ll find it in virtually every control panel, distribution board, and automation cabinet worldwide.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 35 mm (\u00b10.3 mm tolerance per IEC 60715)<\/li>\n <li>Height: 7.5 mm (+0 \/ \u22120.4 mm tolerance)<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.0 mm (cold-rolled steel DC01, per EN 10130)<\/li>\n <li>Weight: approximately 0.30\u20130.35 kg per meter (zinc-plated steel)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p><strong>Typical applications:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs): a standard 18 mm-wide single-pole MCB snaps directly onto TS35<\/li>\n <li>Terminal blocks: the vast majority of screw-clamp and spring-clamp terminals are TS35-compatible<\/li>\n <li>PLC I\/O modules, signal conditioners, and small relays<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>Most perforated TS35 rails feature oblong mounting slots measuring 6.2 mm \u00d7 15 mm on 25 mm center-to-center spacing. This hole pattern is a de facto industry convention. IEC 60715 does not explicitly mandate it, but virtually every manufacturer follows it. Standard supply lengths are 1 meter and 2 meters, with custom cuts available from most suppliers.<\/p>\n\n <p>For quick reference: one meter of TS35 \u00d7 7.5 accommodates roughly 10\u201312 standard single-pole MCBs (18 mm each), or about 150\u2013200 compact terminal blocks (5\u20136 mm each).<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS35 \u00d7 15 \u2014 The Deep Top-Hat for Heavy-Duty Applications<\/h3>\n\n <p>Same 35 mm width, double the depth \u2014 and significantly more than double the rigidity.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 35 mm<\/li>\n <li>Height: 15 mm<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.5 mm (some manufacturers offer 2.0\u20132.3 mm reinforced versions)<\/li>\n <li>Weight: approximately 0.62\u20130.65 kg per meter<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>The critical difference is structural. The 15 mm deep profile has roughly 3\u20134 times the section modulus of the 7.5 mm version, so it resists bending under heavy loads far better. In vibration-prone environments \u2014 machinery control cabinets on factory floors, panels inside moving equipment \u2014 TS35 \u00d7 15 is the standard choice.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>When to use TS35 \u00d7 15 instead of TS35 \u00d7 7.5:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Mounting heavy power supplies (200W and above)<\/li>\n <li>Large contactors and motor starters<\/li>\n <li>Any component weighing more than 2\u20133 kg individually<\/li>\n <li>Environments with continuous mechanical vibration<\/li>\n <li>When mounting screw spacing exceeds 400 mm: the deeper profile bridges longer spans without sagging<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>A practical rule of thumb: if you can feel the weight of the component when you pick it up with one hand, mount it on TS35 \u00d7 15.<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS15 \u2014 The Miniature Rail for Compact Spaces<\/h3>\n\n <p>TS15 is the scaled-down sibling. Same top-hat geometry, but 15 mm wide and just 5.5 mm high.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 15 mm (\u00b10.15 mm \u2014 tighter tolerance than TS35)<\/li>\n <li>Height: 5.5 mm (\u00b10.1 mm)<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.0 mm<\/li>\n <li>Weight: approximately 0.14 kg per meter<\/li>\n <li>Governing standard: EN 50045 (not EN 50022)<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>TS15 serves compact junction boxes, building automation controllers, and miniature relay modules where a full 35 mm rail would waste valuable enclosure space. It is also common in HVAC control panels and lighting control systems.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Important compatibility note:<\/strong> TS15-mounted components cannot be snapped directly onto a TS35 rail. If you need to mix TS15 and TS35 devices in the same panel, you’ll need adapter brackets or separate rail sections.<\/p>\n\n <h3>TS32 (G-Section) \u2014 The Legacy Heavy-Duty Rail<\/h3>\n\n <p>TS32 is the oldest profile still in active use, dating from the pre-IEC era. Unlike the symmetrical top-hat shape, TS32 has an asymmetrical G-shaped cross-section.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Exact dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>Width: 32 mm<\/li>\n <li>Height: 15 mm<\/li>\n <li>Material thickness: 1.5 mm<\/li>\n <li>Governing standard: EN 50035<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p>The asymmetrical G-profile provides an accidental benefit: components can only be slid on from one direction, creating natural polarity protection. You physically cannot install a device upside down. This made TS32 popular for heavy-duty contactors, large transformers, and motor starters in older European installations.<\/p>\n\n <p>Today, most TS32 applications have migrated to TS35 \u00d7 15. TS32 still appears in legacy equipment retrofits, however, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. A C-section variant (C20, C30, C40, C50 \u2014 named by height in mm) also exists, primarily in markets influenced by Australian standard AS 2756-1997.<\/p>\n\n <p>For new designs, TS35 \u00d7 15 is the recommended replacement for TS32 in nearly all cases.<\/p>\n\n <h2>DIN Rail Size Comparison at a Glance<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.omch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Gemini_Generated_Image_p0ish3p0ish3p0is.webp\" alt=\"\u63cf\u8ff0\u6587\u5b57\" class=\"bd-post-image\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n <p>If you need a single reference to confirm a DIN rail dimension, this is it.<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n <table>\n <thead><tr><th>\u0422\u0438\u043f<\/th><th>Width<\/th><th>Height<\/th><th>Thickness<\/th><th>Weight (kg\/m)<\/th><th>\u041b\u0443\u0447\u0448\u0435\u0435 \u0434\u043b\u044f<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr><td><strong>TS35 \u00d7 7.5<\/strong><\/td><td>35 mm<\/td><td>7.5 mm<\/td><td>1.0 mm<\/td><td>0.30\u20130.35<\/td><td>MCBs, terminals, relays, PLCs<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td><strong>TS35 \u00d7 15<\/strong><\/td><td>35 mm<\/td><td>15 mm<\/td><td>1.5 mm<\/td><td>0.62\u20130.65<\/td><td>Power supplies, contactors, heavy loads<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td><strong>TS15<\/strong><\/td><td>15 mm<\/td><td>5.5 mm<\/td><td>1.0 mm<\/td><td>0.14<\/td><td>Compact boxes, miniature relays<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td><strong>TS32 (G)<\/strong><\/td><td>32 mm<\/td><td>15 mm<\/td><td>1.5 mm<\/td><td>~0.58<\/td><td>Legacy contactors, transformers<\/td><\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n <\/table>\n <\/div>\n\n <p><strong>Inch equivalents<\/strong> (for markets where imperial units are specified):<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>35 mm = 1.378″<\/li>\n <li>15 mm = 0.591″<\/li>\n <li>7.5 mm = 0.295″<\/li>\n <li>5.5 mm = 0.217″<\/li>\n <li>32 mm = 1.260″<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <p><strong>Standard mounting hole pattern<\/strong> (perforated rail): 6.2 mm \u00d7 15 mm oblong slots on 25 mm center-to-center spacing.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Standard supply lengths:<\/strong> 1 meter and 2 meters.

It is also the one that causes the most expensive surprises in export projects.<\/p>\n\n <p>DIN rail itself does not carry a CE mark. It is a component, not a finished device. But using non-standard rail can cause your entire panel assembly to fail certification in the target market.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>Market-by-market standards reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <div class=\"table-wrapper\">\n <table>\n <thead><tr><th>Market<\/th><th>Applicable Standard<\/th><th>Key Difference<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr><td>European Union<\/td><td>IEC\/EN 60715<\/td><td>Default global standard<\/td><\/tr>\n <tr><td>North America<\/td><td>UL 60715<\/td><td>Technically identical to IEC 60715, but UL listing is a separate certification.

It is the most widely accepted reference globally. For North American panels, confirm that the rail carries a UL Recognized Component mark. This is separate from IEC compliance and is checked during UL 508A panel inspections.<\/p>\n\n <h2>Sourcing DIN Rail: What to Look for When Buying<\/h2>\n\n <p>Once you’ve nailed down the size, material, and compliance requirements, the procurement step has its own checklist. These five points will save you from the most common sourcing pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>1. Demand IEC 60715 compliance documentation.<\/strong> Any reputable supplier should provide a material certificate and dimensional conformance report on request. If they can’t produce one, walk away. Dimensional deviations as small as 0.5 mm on the flange lip can prevent components from seating correctly.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>2. Clarify perforation requirements upfront.<\/strong> Perforated rail (with pre-punched mounting slots) is the default for most applications. If you need unperforated rail \u2014 for example, when you plan to drill custom mounting holes \u2014 specify this before ordering. Confirm hole dimensions (6.2 \u00d7 15 mm is standard) and center-to-center spacing (25 mm).<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>3. Verify material and coating specifications.<\/strong> Don’t accept “steel” as a material description. Request the specific grade (DC01 per EN 10130 is standard for cold-rolled steel), the zinc coating thickness (minimum 6 \u00b5m), and the passivation treatment. For stainless steel orders, the mill certificate should state the exact grade: 1.4301 for 304, 1.4401\/1.4404 for 316.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>4. Confirm supply lengths and minimum order quantities.<\/strong> Standard lengths are 1 m and 2 m. If your design requires non-standard lengths, confirm whether cutting is included or charged separately. Typical minimum order quantities for industrial DIN rail range from 100 to 500 meters, depending on the supplier and specification.<\/p>\n\n <p><strong>5. Check packaging and transportation protection.<\/strong> DIN rail is long, thin, and easily bent during shipping. Confirm that the supplier uses rigid packaging \u2014 ideally wooden crates or reinforced cardboard tubes for lengths over 1 m. A bent rail that looks fine to the naked eye can cause mounting failures once components are loaded.<\/p>\n\n \n <div class=\"bp-checklist-card bd-reveal\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-title\">\n <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"><path d=\"M11 18h2\"\/><path d=\"M11 14h4\"\/><path d=\"M11 10h4\"\/><path d=\"M7 6h1\"\/><path d=\"M5 2h14a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v16a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V4a2 2 0 0 1 2-2z\"\/><\/svg>\n Before You Order\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">1<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Demand IEC 60715 compliance docs<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Material certificate + dimensional conformance report<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">2<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Clarify perforation requirements<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Perforated or unperforated; confirm 6.2\u00d715mm slots on 25mm centers<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">3<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Verify material-grade specs<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">DC01 steel, zinc \u22656\u00b5m, SS grade on mill certificate<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">4<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Confirm lengths and MOQ<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Standard 1m\/2m; custom cutting; MOQ 100-500m typical<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-item\">\n <span class=\"bp-checklist-num\">5<\/span>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-body\">\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-label\">Check packaging protection<\/div>\n <div class=\"bp-checklist-detail\">Rigid packaging for lengths >1m; bent rail = mounting failure<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <p>Here’s the reality of industrial distribution: DIN rail itself is a low-margin item. But the time cost of sourcing rail from one supplier, terminal blocks from another, relays from a third, and power supplies from a fourth eats into your margin fast. The distributors who win are the ones who consolidate \u2014 one supplier relationship that covers the rail and everything that mounts on it. Your customers get one shipment, one invoice, and you get one supplier to manage instead of four.<\/p>\n\n <p><em>For distributors evaluating supply partners, OMCH maintains a catalog spanning 30+ product categories and over 3,000 SKUs \u2014 covering DIN-rail compatible components from power supplies and MCBs to relays and terminals.
