Apparatus for electronic component and heating cable mounting

A mounting rail having a first side and a second side, the mounting rail comprising:

• a DIN rail disposed at a first side;
• and
• a heating cable channel disposed at the second side, the heating cable channel comprising a slot configured to receive a heating cable,
• wherein the mounting rail is formed from extruded aluminum;
• and further comprising:
• a second heating cable channel disposed at the first side, the second heating cable channel comprising a second slot configured to receive a second heating cable.

An electronics heating module comprising:

• a mounting rail comprising:
• a DIN rail comprising a pair of flanges separated by an internal distance;
• and
• a heating cable channel extending into an area that is laterally adjacent to the internal distance between the pair of flanges of the DIN rail;
• and
• a heating cable disposed in the heating cable channel.

A method comprising:

• extruding aluminum to form a mounting rail that comprises a DIN rail with a pair of flanges separated by an internal distance and at least one heating cable channel having at least one slot;
• applying adhesive the at least one slot;
• and
• inserting at least one heating cable into the at least one slot of the at least one heating cable channel of the mounting rail, such that the at least one heating cable contacts the adhesive and is laterally adjacent to the internal distance between the pair of flanges.
