Rittal Partial Assembly Plates for VX & VX SE Enclosures

Rittal partial assembly plates provide an additional mounting surface for components inside VX and VX SE enclosures. They can be installed upright as a vertical mounting surface or horizontally as a base, according to the installation arrangement.

Choose the article by the enclosure width or depth and the plate dimensions below. VX SE installation on the enclosure section requires a VX adapter rail.

Model Selection and Plate Dimensions

The enclosure width/depth is a compatibility dimension, not the physical plate width. Plate dimensions above follow Rittal's detailed Width and Height fields; they do not describe the usable component mounting area.

Check the Mounting Position and Component Layout

• Confirm the enclosure and position: Send the enclosure article number and show whether the plate spans the cabinet width or depth. Check the available space against the plate and fixing arrangement.
• Allow for wiring and maintenance: Check component depth, terminal access, cable bends and the removal path for nearby equipment before finalizing the plate position.
• Check the mounting components: The product data specifies attachment directly to the enclosure section. For VX SE, include the required VX adapter rail in the configuration check.
• Confirm the orientation and load: Vertical and horizontal installations have different reference load values. Review the complete arrangement against the manufacturer's mounting and load documentation.

For drilled holes or other plate machining, submit the component layout and dimensioned drawing through SUWI enclosure machining services. Browse SUWI enclosure accessories for related installation components.

Load Reference by Installation Orientation

Rittal's load brochure lists the following values for partial assembly plates in the documented installation arrangements:

Apply these values only with the mounting arrangement described in the brochure and info sheet. Confirm the fixings, component positions and complete enclosure configuration for the intended load.

FAQ

Q1: Why is VX 8617660 described as 500 × 400 mm but listed here as 438 × 398 mm?

A: Rittal's short product description uses 500 × 400 mm, while its detailed Dimensions field lists a width of 438 mm and height of 398 mm. The selection table above uses the detailed plate dimensions. Check these against your component layout and the mounting drawing.

Q2: Are all the required installation parts included?

A: Rittal lists assembly components with each plate. VX SE mounting on the enclosure section also requires a VX adapter rail. Include the enclosure article number and intended position in your enquiry so any additional parts can be identified.

Q3: What should I provide if the plate needs drilled mounting holes?

A: Send the selected plate article number, component layout and a dimensioned hole drawing with the required orientation. Include component and cable clearances so the proposed machining can be reviewed before quotation.

Q4: How do I request pricing and lead time?

A: Send the plate article number, required quantity, delivery destination and requested delivery date. For selection support, add the enclosure model, mounting position, orientation and planned component load.
