Do: Practise on a spare clip: hook the fixed side over one rail edge, rotate the part down flat with that hook engaged, then press until the sprung side snaps over the other edge.
Check
The clip sits square on the rail, does not rock, and slides along the rail with firm thumb pressure but not under its own weight.
Helper Practises hook, rotate and snap on the spare clip until it clicks on first time.
What you're looking at
A DIN clip is the sprung foot that grips the rail: one side a fixed hook, the other a spring latch. Every clipped component in this chapter goes on the same way, and pressing one on flat-first breaks the latch.
Good stopping point · ~25 min since the last one
both DIN rails on and the DC loop dry-laid on its tape marks, not stuck; VHB, lids and the AC parts wait for 09.36. A piece knocked out of place goes back to its marks; slide the middle run aside if a board needs room to clip on, since 09.36 re-centres it. Nothing is clipped to a rail yet. Leave the printer where it is if you can; standing it back up costs you the T-nut access.
