Mounting plate Rittal 8617.570

The Rittal 8617.570 mounting plate is manufactured from 2.5 mm galvanized steel and sized to fit a broad range of rack and enclosure setups. With overall dimensions of 700 mm width and 400 mm depth, the plate provides a flat, rigid surface for attaching electrical components, terminal strips, and other rack accessories while offering corrosion resistance from the galvanized finish.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction ensures mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in typical indoor installation environments. The 2.5 mm thickness balances stiffness and weight, delivering a stable mounting surface that reduces flex under load. Standardized dimensions (700 mm x 400 mm) simplify planning and integration into enclosures and racks, and the single-piece design facilitates straightforward installation and cable routing.

How to use

Place the mounting plate inside the enclosure or rack at the desired height and secure it using the cabinet’s internal mounting points or compatible fasteners. Ensure the plate is level before tightening all fixings. Attach electrical components to the plate using appropriate screws and spacers or insulating mounts where required. Maintain clearances for wiring and ventilation according to component manufacturer recommendations to ensure safe operation.

Recommendations

Inspect the plate for damage or coating defects before installation. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners to preserve the galvanized finish, and follow applicable electrical and safety standards when mounting live equipment. For heavy or vibration-prone installations, confirm that mounting hardware and enclosure structure are rated for the combined load.
