A range of compact enclosures offers protection to IP69K as well as corrosion resistance.
Vehicles with electrical circuits operating in tough environments, such as in agriculture and earthmoving, need protection from water.
Wire harnesses have to be terminated and operating switches, buttons or displays need to be mounted in enclosures to protect them from rain, road spray water and wash jets, which can all direct water at the electrical components.
Rittal's range of compact enclosures with protection to IP69K category for operating in such environments, offer the highest protection, as well as being corrosion resistant.
The interior seal is protected against direct hosed water, locks, hinges and mounting plate are all vibration resistant and the surface finish consists of an aluminium zinc coating, powder - coated on the outside in textured RAL 7035.
The enclosure range also includes an interior door, ideal for the installation of indicators lamps, pushbuttons and display devices.
The protection category IP69K (DIN40050) has been tested under the following stringent criteria: water pressure 100bar, at a temperature 80C, from a distance of 100-150mm for the duration of the test 4x 30s (0, 30, 60 and 90 degrees).
Rittal also offers a wide selection of stainless steel enclosures with high specifications on hygiene and corrosion resistance that are complemented by a comprehensive range of accessories.
