    DIN 3 Rail & Wire Duct Screw Sizes??

    What size and type of screw should I use for my DIN Rail and Wire Duct? Attaching to metal. I think I would prefer self tappers, but any recommendation is good.

    I want to order some at the same time I order the rail and wire duct.

    Thanks

    You can use self tapping, personally I use #10-32 Robertson head, and tap the back panel, I am not sure how popular or available Robertson is in the U.S.
    I prefer the aluminum DIN rail as it usually has the mounting slots in it already.
