Electrical enclosure Rittal 9518.100, polyamide/polycarbonate, IP66, 182×111×180 mm

Rittal 9518.100 is a compact electrical enclosure made from fibre-glass reinforced polycarbonate base with a cover in either grey polyamide or transparent polycarbonate. With external dimensions of 182 × 111 × 180 mm and IP66 protection class, the enclosure is engineered to protect electrical and electronic components from dust and strong water jets in indoor and outdoor industrial environments. Its robust plastic construction provides impact resistance and corrosion-free performance where metal housings are undesired.

Advantages

The enclosure combines lightweight construction with high mechanical strength and chemical resistance afforded by fibre-glass reinforced polycarbonate. The option of a transparent cover allows visual inspection of status indicators and displays without opening the housing. IP66 sealing prevents ingress of dust and heavy water jets, making the unit suitable for demanding environments. Installation is simplified by a compact footprint and internal mounting area designed for terminal blocks, small control modules, and wiring harnesses.

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable flat surface using the internal mounting points or DIN-rail accessories where applicable. Route cables through the provided entry points or use compatible cable glands to maintain the IP66 rating. Install terminal blocks, small controllers, or sensor modules onto the internal mounting surface and secure wiring according to local electrical codes. For transparent cover versions, use the visual access to monitor indicators without removing the cover; when access is required, open and close the cover following the manufacturer’s fastening sequence to ensure proper sealing.

For reliable sealing, check that cable glands and conduits are compatible with IP66 requirements and that gasket surfaces are clean before closing the cover. Avoid exposing the enclosure to prolonged direct sunlight at very high temperatures without additional shielding; install away from concentrated heat sources to maintain long-term material stability.
