The DIN is a standard that was developed by the "Deutsches Institut für Normung" (one might call the national standards organization in Germany). The DIN is facing many sectors, but we have tried to focus on the DIN-oriented electronics and computing. In the case of Enclosures means qualifying under the German legislation on racks and is standardized to DIN 41494-7.

A DIN Rail is a metal rail of with standard size of 35 mm wide. (A)

It's commonly used on installation and assembly of electrical devices or controllers for home or business use.
Besides the typical DIN rail 35 mm x 7.5 mm, can also be found in other measures as:

- Mini DIN Rail, size 15 mm x 5.5 mm (B)
- DIN Rail, size 35 mm x 15 mm (C)
- G section, size 32 mm x 15 mm x 8mm (D)

These rails are designed for installations with a method of simple, fast and configurable fixing. Ideal for installation in electrical distribution points, distribution of telephone wiring, alarms, digital electric programmers, keystone adapter, attenuators and any other compatible device.

When we talk about RJ45 ("Registered Jack" 45) we refer to a telecommunications network interface for wired connection of voice and data equipment.

This connector has 8 pins or connections and may have a specific category depending on the data transfer speed and bandwidth (category 5e, 6, etc.)

The common application is their use in Ethernet network cables under TIA/EIA-568-B standard that defines the arrangement of pins (pinout), but can also be used for other applications.
