Electrical enclosure Rittal 1505.000, steel IP66, 500×120×200 mm

Rittal 1505.000 is a compact steel electrical enclosure with IP66 protection, designed to protect electrical and electronic components against dust and powerful water jets. The enclosure’s external dimensions are 500 × 120 × 200 mm, providing a narrow, space-saving footprint suitable for wall mounting or installation in industrial and outdoor environments. Constructed from steel, the housing combines mechanical robustness with reliable environmental sealing and is supplied as a single-piece pack for immediate use. The small enclosure KX terminal box without a gland plate allows flexible interior installation and keeps the high protection category intact.

Advantages

The steel construction offers mechanical strength and impact resistance while maintaining electromagnetic screening properties typical of metal housings. IP66 rating ensures dust-tight performance and protection from heavy water jets, making the enclosure suitable for exposed locations. The absence of a pre-cut gland plate enables custom cable entry solutions and flexible placement of terminal strips or mounting plates. Its compact external size allows installation in confined spaces without sacrificing internal usable volume for components.

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable, load-bearing surface using appropriate fixings for the substrate and the enclosure weight. Prepare the interior by fitting a backplate, DIN rails or terminal strips as required; because the enclosure does not include a gland plate, cut or fit cable entries, glands or conduit fittings in positions chosen to match the internal layout while preserving the IP66 seal. Install electrical components and secure them to the chosen mounting system, ensure cable routing does not compromise the seal, and close the door or lid with the supplied fasteners. Verify the enclosure’s sealing surfaces and gaskets after installation and perform standard electrical safety checks before energizing.

Recommendations

For sustained IP66 performance, use appropriate cable glands and conduit fittings rated for IP66 or higher, and ensure gaskets and fasteners are intact and correctly mounted. When installing outdoors or in corrosive atmospheres, consider additional surface treatments and periodic inspection to maintain mechanical integrity and protection level.
