Grounding hardware Rittal 2412.325, metallic finish, height 300 mm

Rittal grounding hardware 2412.325 with a metallic finish and a height of 300 mm is designed for establishing reliable earthing and potential equalization in electrical enclosures and cabinets. Constructed from tin-plated copper and fitted with press-fitted contact rings, this grounding strap provides a durable conductive path between metal panels and housings. Its design addresses both low-frequency grounding needs and improved behaviour at higher frequencies by counteracting current displacement effects.

Advantages

The tin-plated copper construction ensures long-term corrosion resistance and stable electrical conductivity. Press-fitted contact rings create secure mechanical and electrical connections without the need for additional soldering. The metallic finish offers compatibility with a variety of enclosure surfaces while maintaining low contact resistance. The flexible strap design allows easy routing and installation in compact or complex cabinet interiors.

Suitable for

• Industrial switchgear and power distribution cabinets
• Control cabinets and automation enclosures
• Metal housings and panel assemblies requiring potential equalization
• Retrofit grounding of existing electrical cabinets

Key specifications

• Material: tin-plated copper
• Connection type: press-fitted contact rings
• Height/length: 300 mm
• Finish: metallic
• Function: earthing strap for potential equalization and grounding
• Flexibility: designed for routing in confined cabinet spaces

How to use

Mount the grounding hardware between the enclosure frame and the panel or chassis points that require potential equalization. Ensure contact surfaces are clean and free of paint or corrosion to achieve low-resistance connections. Position the press-fitted contact rings over the appropriate fastening points and secure with suitable fasteners; the tin-plated copper provides immediate conductive contact. Route the flexible strap to avoid sharp bends or abrasion against sharp edges and verify continuity with a suitable measuring device after installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, select fastening points with good mechanical stability and remove insulating coatings at contact areas if necessary. Verify compatibility with enclosure materials and confirm that the strap length and cross-section meet the electrical requirements of the installation. Inspect connections periodically as part of routine maintenance to ensure continued low-resistance grounding.
