Front panel Bopla TF/M 310 partial front plate aluminium for enclosure, 128.50 × 50.45 mm

The Bopla TF/M 310 partial front plate in aluminium is a replaceable metal front designed for compatible Bopla enclosures. Measuring 128.50 × 50.45 mm (L × W), the plate is made from an Al Mg Si 0.5 aluminium profile with an anodised surface and is intended to provide a corrosion-resistant, conductive mounting surface for controls, connectors or display cutouts in instrument housings, control panels and industrial enclosures.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers light weight combined with mechanical stability and electrical conductivity suitable for grounding and EMC considerations. Anodising increases surface hardness and corrosion resistance, while die-cast aluminium covers and flanges provide dimensional stability and uniform appearance. The replaceable design simplifies repairs and modifications, allowing a single enclosure to be adapted for different front configurations without full replacement.

Suitable for

• Instrument housings requiring a metal front for durability and grounding
• Control panels where connectors, switches or displays need to be mounted
• Industrial enclosures exposed to moderate environmental wear where corrosion resistance is needed
• Prototypes or series products that benefit from replaceable front panels for configuration changes

When it may not be suitable

This aluminium partial front plate is not intended for use as a complete enclosure body; it covers only the specified front area and requires a compatible Bopla enclosure frame. It may not be suitable for applications requiring full ingress protection ratings unless used within an enclosure system that provides the necessary seals and gaskets.

Key specifications

• Material: Al Mg Si 0.5 aluminium profile, anodised finish
• Dimensions (L × W): 128.50 × 50.45 mm
• Construction: metal partial front plate, replaceable type
• Covers and front flanges: die-cast aluminium
• Side panels, cover and side plates: passivated aluminium (compatible with system parts)
• Colour/appearance: natural anodised aluminium surface
• Quantity per unit: 1 piece

How to use

Install the partial front plate into the matching Bopla enclosure by aligning the plate with the enclosure frame and securing it with the appropriate screws or fastening elements provided by the enclosure system. Prepare any required cutouts or mounting holes for connectors, switches or displays before final assembly; machining or punching should follow recommended tooling for aluminium to avoid burring. Ensure conductive contact or grounding connections where required, and check fit and alignment before sealing any additional covers or gaskets.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your specific Bopla enclosure model and frame dimensions
• Verify required cutouts and whether additional machining or finishing is necessary
• Assess environmental protection needs and whether the enclosure system provides required sealing
• Consider grounding and EMC requirements if conductive front surfaces are used for signal or power connections

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan mounting and cutouts prior to installation and use proper aluminium-compatible fasteners and tools. When grounding is required, establish secure contact points to the enclosure frame and follow any applicable EMC or safety standards for your installation.
