I'm groggy from Googling things like DIN rail mounting guidelines. And have not found much at all, even from manufacturers who offer components with DIN mounting features.
First it looks to me like the rails need to run horizontal, partly because most all the pictures show that, and second because I can picture a vertical rail full of typical spring clamped components sliding off the end, like a Shish Kabob. Third, there are some shock requirements for this system, and the DIN system looks to have a timid grip on the rail.
We are about to use the DIN system in an enclosure that only fits in an orientation that will result in vertical rails.
