Mounting DIN rail in boxes

[GBDamo]

The question was how do you fix din rail inside an adaptable box, unistrut seems a bit extreme for that

Maybe, but it would be sturdy.

I used this method to keep the enclosure from the wall, makes an easy access SWA termination, allow SWAs, pyros, FPxoo to run underneath when there is limited space, and use any combination of screws / bolts to fit the dinrail to the enclusure and then an easy mount onto the unistrut.

If the cables are flexible, sometimes it is easier to work on with the din rail fixed to the lid. I wouldn't do it if there were a lot of terminals though.
