1. An adaptor plate for securing a DIN rail device inside of an electrical junction box, the adaptor plate securable to a front of the electrical junction box with the DIN rail device disposed within the electrical junction box, the adaptor plate comprising:
a front plate configured to span across at least a portion of a front of the electrical junction box, the front plate including one or more adaptor plate mounting features located relative to the front plate such that the one or more adaptor plate mounting features align with corresponding mounting features on the electrical junction box;
a DIN rail engagement portion extending backward from the front plate and configured to fit at least partially into an elongated DIN rail mounting recess of a DIN rail device, the DIN rail engagement portion having a first side spaced from a second side, wherein the first side is configured to extend lengthwise along a first side of the DIN rail mounting recess of the DIN rail device, and wherein the second side is configured to extend lengthwise along a second side of the DIN rail mounting recess of the DIN rail device;
a first mounting slot disposed within the first side of the DIN rail engagement portion for receiving a first mounting latch of the DIN rail device that extends into the DIN rail mounting recess from the first side of the DIN rail mounting recess; and
a second mounting slot disposed within the second side of the DIN rail engagement portion for receiving a second mounting latch of the DIN rail device that extends into the DIN rail mounting recess from the second side of the DIN rail mounting recess.
