Electrical enclosure Rittal 1563.000 stainless steel IP66, 300×80×200 mm

Rittal 1563.000 is a stainless steel electrical enclosure with IP66 protection, sized 300×80×200 mm. It is designed to house terminal blocks and small control components, providing dust-tight and water-resistant protection for indoor and outdoor installations. The enclosure suits applications requiring corrosion-resistant housing and a compact footprint for terminal wiring and electrical connection protection.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and easy cleaning while maintaining mechanical strength. IP66 protection ensures reliable sealing against dust and powerful water jets, making the enclosure suitable for exposed industrial environments. Its compact external dimensions allow installation in confined spaces and integration into control panels or machine housings.

Suitable for

• Mounting terminal blocks and small control modules
• Protecting electrical connections in industrial and outdoor settings
• Use in environments requiring corrosion-resistant housings (food, chemical processing, marine)
• Integration into compact control cabinets and machinery

When it may not be suitable

The enclosure is not designed for housing large controllers, PLC racks, or multiple large components due to its compact internal volume. It also does not include internal mounting plates or accessories by default, so additional mounting hardware may be required for specific installations.

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (grade 1.4301)
• Protection rating: IP66 (dust-tight, protected against powerful water jets)
• External dimensions (W×D×H): 300 × 80 × 200 mm
• Typical use: terminal enclosure for small control components

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a suitable surface or within a control cabinet using appropriate fixings. Fit terminal blocks or small control modules inside, and route cables through correctly rated cable glands or conduit entries. Ensure seals and gaskets are intact before exposing the enclosure to wet or dusty environments. If an internal mounting plate or DIN rail is required, install compatible accessories prior to wiring.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm internal space is sufficient for your terminal blocks and wiring needs
• Plan for additional mounting plates, DIN rails, or cable glands if not included
• Verify stainless steel grade and surface finish meet corrosion-resistance requirements for your environment
• Check that IP66 protection level matches expected exposure to water and dust

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, use compatible stainless steel fixings and appropriate cable glands rated to maintain IP66. Periodically inspect gaskets and seals, and clean the stainless steel surface with non-abrasive cleaners to preserve corrosion resistance and sealing integrity.
