Grounding hardware Rittal 2568.000, height 300 mm, weight 300 g

Rittal 2568.000 grounding hardware is a ready-to-install earthing component designed for use inside electrical and control cabinets. With a height of 300 mm and a lightweight design, this grounding strap provides a solid mechanical and conductive link to cabinet earthing points. The product includes ring terminals sized for M6 and M8 earthing screws and is length-optimised for straightforward fitting, helping to achieve reliable contact and safe dissipation of fault currents in industrial and commercial installations.

Advantages

The grounding hardware combines mechanical stability with good electrical conductivity to ensure a durable earth connection in control enclosures. Pre-fitted ring terminals for M6 and M8 bolts eliminate the need for on-site crimping and reduce installation time. Its compact height and modest weight make it suitable for retrofits and new assemblies where space and ease of handling matter.

How to use

Position the grounding hardware so that its ring terminals align with the designated earthing screws in the cabinet. Secure the ring terminals using appropriate M6 and M8 fasteners, ensuring firm mechanical contact. Verify that all mounting surfaces are clean and free of paint, corrosion or insulating debris to maintain low resistance contact. After fixing, perform an earth continuity check to confirm proper conductive connection to the cabinet earthing system.

Recommendations

Use appropriate torque values for M6 and M8 connectors and follow site-specific earthing practices. Inspect contact surfaces prior to installation and, if necessary, clean or prepare them to ensure reliable electrical contact and long-term performance.
