Grounding hardware Rittal 2565.000, yellow, 180 g

Rittal 2565.000 grounding hardware in yellow finish is a preassembled earthing connection solution weighing 180 g, designed for installation in electrical enclosures and control cabinets. It provides a defined protective earth bonding between components and the cabinet frame, ensuring consistent contact for safety and for reduction of electromagnetic interference. The assembly includes length-optimised cabling and ring terminals sized to fit common earthing screws, allowing fast installation and reliable conductivity.

Advantages

The grounding hardware is supplied ready to install, with ring terminals for M6 and M8 earthing screws to match typical cabinet hardware. The yellow finish offers clear visual identification of the earthing conductor. The compact, length-optimised construction reduces routing effort inside switchgear and control cabinets while delivering a low-resistance path for protective earth continuity.

Key specifications

How to use

Mount one ring terminal to the enclosure or cabinet frame earthing point and the other to the equipment or component earthing screw, using appropriate torque for the screw size. Ensure contact surfaces are clean and free of paint, corrosion or debris to achieve low-resistance bonding. Route the conductor to avoid sharp edges and moving parts and secure as needed to prevent strain on connections. Verify continuity with a suitable test instrument after installation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow applicable electrical installation standards. For reliable long-term performance, check connections periodically and retighten screws if necessary. Select the ring terminal connection matching the screw diameter (M6 or M8) to ensure correct mechanical and electrical contact.
