Electrical enclosure Rittal 9516.000, polyamide/polycarbonate IP66, 180×165×110 mm

Rittal 9516.000 is a compact electrical enclosure made from fibre-glass reinforced polycarbonate body with an option of either a grey or transparent cover. With external dimensions of 180 × 165 × 110 mm, this IP66-rated housing is designed to protect small electrical components, terminal blocks and simple control elements against dust and strong water jets. The combination of polyamide and polycarbonate materials provides mechanical robustness and resistance to weathering, making the enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor installations that require reliable environmental sealing.

Advantages

The enclosure delivers IP66 protection for reliable shielding against dust and heavy splashes. Its compact footprint and moderate depth accommodate small electronics and wiring while minimizing required mounting space. The option of a transparent cover allows visual inspection of internal components without opening the enclosure, while the grey cover provides a discreet, vandal-resistant appearance. Materials used ensure mechanical strength, impact resistance and long-term dimensional stability in typical industrial and commercial environments.

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable flat surface using recommended mounting points, ensuring proper access for cable entry and strain relief. Select the cover option that matches the application—transparent for inspection or grey for a closed appearance—and secure the cover according to the manufacturer’s fastening procedure to maintain the IP66 seal. Install electrical components on the internal mounting plate or directly to the base, route incoming and outgoing cables through appropriate sealed cable glands or conduit fittings, and verify the enclosure remains sealed after assembly and any maintenance.

Recommendations

To preserve IP66 performance, use compatible cable glands and grommets sized for the cables, avoid mechanical overstress on mounting points, and follow periodic inspections for seal integrity if the enclosure is exposed to UV, chemicals or mechanical impact.
