Grounding hardware Rittal 2565.100, yellow, grounding strap accessory

Rittal 2565.100 grounding hardware in yellow is designed to create a reliable earthing connection with secure metal-to-metal contact. The product includes ring terminals sized to fit common earthing screws and comes length-optimised and ready for installation. It is compact and lightweight, intended for use in electrical cabinets and installations where a clear, visible grounding conductor is required.

Advantages

The grounding hardware provides consistent electrical contact through pre-attached ring terminals, reducing installation time and ensuring a secure connection. Its yellow insulation enhances visibility for safety and identification. The assembly is delivered ready to install and has a low weight that simplifies handling during setup.

Suitable for

• Creating protective earth connections in electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Grounding equipment where M6 or M8 earthing screws are used
• Applications requiring a visible, insulated grounding conductor

When it may not be suitable

This grounding hardware is intended for standard protective earthing tasks and for use with matching screw sizes; it may not be suitable where larger current-carrying conductors, specialised bonding systems, or uninsulated busbar connections are required. Do not use it where a different terminal type or a different conductor cross-section is specified by regulations or system design.

Key specifications

• Colour: yellow
• Ring terminal sizes: compatible with M6 and M8 earthing screws
• Weight: approximately 120 g
• Conductor cross-section (as offered): 10 mm²
• Length: optimised for installation (ready to install)

How to use

Position the grounding conductor so the ring terminals align with the earthing screw points, place the ring over the screw, and tighten securely to ensure metal-to-metal contact. Route the insulated conductor to avoid sharp edges and mechanical strain, and secure it along its path to prevent movement. Verify continuity and proper earthing after installation with appropriate test equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of ring terminal sizes with the earthing screw dimensions in your installation (M6 or M8).
• Ensure the conductor cross-section meets local electrical regulations and the current-carrying requirements of your system.
• Consider whether an insulated yellow conductor is appropriate for your identification and safety practices.

Usage recommendations

Use with correct torque on earthing screws and verify connections with a continuity tester; secure the conductor along its route to prevent mechanical stress and maintain reliable earthing.
