Rittal adapter for connector cut-outs SZ 2401.000, steel, silver

The Rittal SZ 2401.000 Silver Steel adapter is a metal accessory designed to allow the use of connectors with different numbers of poles in enclosure cutouts. Made of steel with a silver finish, it provides a robust transition piece for adapting connector openings to alternative connector configurations.

Advantages

The steel construction offers mechanical strength and durability while the silver finish ensures corrosion resistance and a neutral appearance in electrical cabinets. The adapter enables flexible use of existing cutouts by accommodating connectors with varying pole counts without requiring new machining of the enclosure.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is a passive mechanical part and does not provide electrical insulation, sealing against fluids, or shielding beyond the basic metal properties. It may not be suitable where IP-rated sealing, specific insulating materials, or EMC shielding with certified performance are required.

Also avoid using it where exact dimensional fits or proprietary connector housings require manufacturer-specific parts.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the adapter into the existing connector cutout in the enclosure according to the cutout dimensions and secure it using the enclosure's mounting method (screws or clips) compatible with the adapter. After fitting, mount the chosen connector with the required number of poles into the adapter to ensure a stable mechanical connection. Follow standard safety procedures for working on electrical enclosures, including isolating power and using appropriate personal protective equipment.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the adapter primarily to avoid reworking enclosure openings when replacing or upgrading connectors. For sealed or high-performance installations, pair the adapter with appropriate gaskets or insulating elements and verify fit before final assembly.
