The mounting plate AE 5050436 from Rittal is a replacement part for enclosures of type AE and AE stainless steel. It serves as a mounting surface for electrical components, switches, indicators or other parts within the enclosure. The plate is made of steel sheet and features a zinc-coated surface, ensuring high corrosion resistance and durability in industrial environments. The dimensions of the mounting plate are 549 mm in width and 355 mm in height, making it optimally suited for enclosures with a width of 600 mm and a height of 380 mm.

Applications

The mounting plate is specifically designed for enclosure housings of type AE, including stainless steel variants. It is used in electrical and automation technology, where stable and secure mounting of components within the enclosure is required. Typical use is in industrial plants, such as in manufacturing, power supply or machine building, as the plate meets the mechanical requirements in such environments.

Functions and equipment in detail

The plate provides a flat, planar mounting surface suitable for securing components using screws or other fastening means. The zinc-coated surface protects the steel sheet from moisture and oxidation, which is particularly beneficial in damp or slightly corrosive environments. The precise fit for the specified housing types ensures secure and interference-free mounting without additional adjustments.

Technology explained simply

The surface zinc coating is applied via galvanic plating, where a zinc layer is deposited onto the steel sheet. This layer acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning it oxidizes first when corrosion occurs, protecting the underlying steel sheet. The dimensions of 549 mm × 355 mm are matched to the internal dimensions of enclosures with a width of 600 mm and a height of 380 mm. The plate is supplied in a packaging unit of one piece.

Compatibility and accessories

The mounting plate is compatible with enclosure models with article numbers 1039500, 1339500, 1009600 and 6539010. These housings belong to the AE series from Rittal and are available in various versions, including stainless steel variants. The plate is specifically developed for these housing formats to ensure optimal fit and mounting stability.

Mounting and installation

Mounting is done by securing the plate to the designated mounting points inside the enclosure. Precise positioning is achieved using the drill holes and specified dimensions. The plate is fastened using the mounting elements already present in the enclosure, with no additional tools or mounting aids required. Installation typically requires no modifications, as the dimensions are precisely matched to the housing dimensions.

Advantages in operation

The mounting plate provides a stable and secure mounting solution for electrical components. The zinc-coated surface ensures long service life and reduces maintenance frequency. The precise fit and standardization within the AE series facilitate component replacement and maintenance. Use in industrial plants ensures reliable performance under real operating conditions.
