Schneider Electric AM1DL201 Din Rail 78.8 Inch Zinc Steel

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC AM1DL201 is a heavy-duty DIN rail used to mount industrial control components such as terminal blocks, circuit breakers, relays, and contactors inside electrical enclosures and control panels. Constructed from zinc plated steel at 2 millimeters thick, this rail provides a corrosion-resistant mounting surface suitable for demanding panel-building applications. It measures 78.8 inches long, 2.95 inches wide, and 0.59 inches high, making it appropriate for large enclosures and switchgear assemblies. Weighing 6.42 pounds, it is rated to multiple international standards including UL, CSA, and IEC 439. Licensed electricians and panel builders are the primary installers of this component.

This DIN rail is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical panel applications where standardized component mounting is required. It accommodates standard 35mm DIN rail-compatible devices across a full 78.8-inch mounting length, providing substantial capacity for populated control panel builds. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for indoor enclosures where moderate environmental protection is needed. Panel builders working on motor control centers, PLC cabinets, and distribution panels will find this rail compatible with a wide range of DIN-mount devices.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN rail mounting solution compatible with 35mm DIN rail-rated devices including terminal blocks, relays, circuit breakers, and other DIN-mount control components used in electrical enclosures and panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified panel builders. De-energize the enclosure and follow applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures before working inside any live panel. The rail is secured to the enclosure backplate using appropriate hardware through the mounting slots along its length. Avoid over-tightening fasteners to prevent deformation of the rail profile, which can affect device snap-fit retention.
