ABSTRACT:
An extruded rail-mount, for mounting devices to a variety of rails, with a support leg that provides upward support against the forceful pressure exerted when wires are screwed onto screw terminals at the edges of the mounted device. The mount is substantially constant longitudinally. The rail-mount has a thin, plank-like substrate with latitudinally upward arms and downward kinked legs and a downward support leg. The arms have catches to grab onto/support circuit boards or other devices. Kinked legs have catches to grab onto/mount a chosen rail. When the rail-mount is mounted on a rail, the support leg is of a length to support against the surface to which the rail is secured. Because rails are relatively narrow, the mount's utility is such that attachment to a rail provides support to one side of a mounted device and the support leg provides support for the opposite side of the device.
