Rails

In eurorack modular systems the modules are mounted to the rails. The length of these rails is typically standardized to HP widths (1 HP = 5.04mm). Note that eurorack rails typically use M3 screws while the industry standard in Germany is M2.5.

Note that in addition to the (two) rails you will need:

• screws that fit the nuts
• square nuts that fit your rails (or something like this)
• screws to screw into the side of your rails

(Note: "Rails" is ambigous. In an elctronic context it can also mean your supply voltages. In our case: ±12V. So if somebody says: connect the opamp to the rails, they don't mean you should connect them to the case, but to ±12V. If some signal hits the rails this means the signal's voltage is higher (or lower) than ±12V and gets clipped).
