I would put two rows of pin headers (of 6 pins each) on a PCB, and then solder a wire along each of them. It is ugly but it is simply the quickest, cheapest and easiest way to do it.
If you want to be fancy you can use 2.35mm screw terminals, but they cost quite a bit more than the pin headers or the 5mm screw terminals.
The actual name of this part is a "bus bar". There is a million different kinds made, in all sizes from tiny to huge. But they cost money and take time to order, so I don't bother with them unless a project MUST look 100% perfect. https://www.amazon.com/Pair-Terminal-Distribution-BUSBARS-Terminals/dp/B07C4W7YKG/ref=asc_df_B07C4W7YKG/?
Something that looks like a bus bar but isn't is called "terminal blocks", where each pair of screw terminals is not connected to the others. You can run a piece of wire lengthwise to connect them however. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/wire-connectors/12-position-barrier-terminal-block-14-22-awg/3126/
There is also a PCB version called "strip board", that has rows of holes connected by a copper trace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripboard ...The usual way you use these is you build your circuit on them and you physically cut the traces where you don't want the power/signal to run.
The Adafruit Proto Boards are a small single version of a PCB style called "bus board", that has connected strips in various lengths and orientations: https://www.jameco.com/z/SB404-Busboard-Prototype-Systems-Solderable-Prototyping-Board-SB404_2191402.html?
Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Actually, by shopping for din rails i got recommended a "bus bar" which seems to be what I need. See

Thanks for your help.
