Electrical enclosure Rittal 1610.000 — polycarbonate cover, steel base, IP65, 400×155×200 mm

Rittal 1610.000 is an electrical enclosure that combines a transparent polycarbonate cover with a robust sheet steel base, offering IP65 protection. With external dimensions of 400 × 155 × 200 mm, this wall-mountable housing is designed for protection of electrical components, small control equipment, bus modules and sensors in environments where protection from dust and water jets is required.

Advantages

The polycarbonate cover provides a clear viewing panel for status indicators and displays while maintaining mechanical strength and impact resistance. The steel base delivers structural rigidity, secure mounting for internal components and grounding options. The IP65 rating ensures reliable protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making the enclosure suitable for industrial and outdoor adjacent locations where occasional wetting is possible.

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat, stable surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall material. Fit internal components such as terminal blocks, DIN-rail mounted modules or sensors inside the steel base and secure them to prevent movement. Route cables through dedicated entries or glands in accordance with required sealing methods to maintain IP65 protection. Close the polycarbonate cover ensuring gaskets and fasteners are correctly positioned to preserve the dust- and water-resistant seal.

Recommendations

For consistent protection, inspect gaskets and cover fastenings periodically and replace any damaged seals. Use compatible cable glands and conduit fittings sized to the cables used. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents or high temperatures that can affect polycarbonate clarity and gasket performance.
