Rittal 8617.580 Mounting Plate

The Rittal 8617.580 mounting plate is a galvanized steel panel with a 2.5 mm thickness, designed to provide stable support inside cabinets and enclosures. With dimensions of 700 mm width and 700 mm depth, the plate offers a broad, rigid surface for attaching rack-mounted accessories, equipment brackets, and cable management fixtures. Its zinc-coated finish enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for industrial and technical installations where reliable mechanical support is required.

Advantages

Constructed from galvanized steel, the mounting plate combines strength and resistance to corrosion while maintaining a relatively low weight for its size. The 2.5 mm material thickness delivers a firm mounting surface that reduces flex under load. Its 700 x 700 mm footprint provides ample room to organize components and adapt to different layout requirements. The straightforward flat-panel design simplifies installation and integration with standard enclosure and cabinet systems.

How to use

Position the mounting plate inside the enclosure so that its edges align with the cabinet mounting points or internal rails. Secure the plate using appropriate fasteners compatible with the enclosure material and the plate thickness; use washers or spacers where necessary to distribute load and avoid deformation. Once fixed, attach equipment, brackets, or cable management accessories to the plate using screws or bolts appropriate for the component threads and the 2.5 mm steel backing. Ensure all electrical bonding and grounding requirements are met when installing power or signal equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, select corrosion-resistant fasteners when installing in humid or corrosive environments and verify load ratings of mounted components to prevent overloading the plate. Maintain clearances for ventilation and cable routing to preserve serviceability and heat dissipation.
