Mounting clamp Rittal SV 3460.500 – steel plate clamp for 80 mm rail width, clamp depth 65×10 mm

Rittal SV 3460.500 is a steel plate mounting clamp designed for use with 80 mm wide mounting rails. The clamp provides a 65×10 mm clamping area and is intended to secure panels, plates or components inside electrical cabinets, distribution enclosures and industrial mounting systems. Its steel construction offers mechanical strength for fixed connections of laminated copper bars and other conductive parts where a robust clamp is required. Installation does not require drilling when used with compatible rail systems.

Advantages

The steel construction ensures reliable mechanical fastening and long service life in indoor industrial and electrical cabinet environments. The defined 65×10 mm clamping area provides consistent contact surface for laminated copper bars and metal plates. Compatibility with 80 mm rail width mounting systems allows straightforward integration into standard enclosure and backplate assemblies. No-drill fitment on compatible rails reduces installation time and preserves enclosure integrity.

Suitable for

• Securing laminated copper bars in electrical cabinets
• Fastening metal plates and mounting panels on 80 mm rails
• Mechanical support for components inside industrial enclosures
• Retrofitting or upgrading existing 80 mm rail mounting systems

When it may not be suitable

This clamp is designed specifically for 80 mm rail width systems and a 65×10 mm clamping area; it may not be suitable for rails of different widths or for applications that require a larger or smaller contact area. For outdoor use in corrosive environments, additional corrosion protection or a different material grade may be required since this product is specified as steel without further surface treatment details.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Compatible rail width: 80 mm
• Clamp (clamping) area / depth: 65 × 10 mm
• Intended application: mounting plates, laminated copper bars and components in enclosures
• Installation: fits compatible rail systems without drilling

How to use

Position the Rittal SV 3460.500 clamp on the 80 mm mounting rail at the desired location, ensuring the rail and clamp contact surfaces are clean and free from debris. Insert the plate, laminated copper bar or component into the 65×10 mm clamping area and apply the specified fastening torque (refer to enclosure or rail manufacturer guidance). Confirm that the clamp is secured and the component is held firmly. If necessary, adjust the location along the rail before final tightening. For safety, disconnect power and follow applicable electrical installation standards when working inside enclosures.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your mounting rail is 80 mm wide to ensure compatibility
• Confirm the 65×10 mm clamping area matches the thickness and width of the parts to be secured
• Assess environmental conditions and whether additional corrosion protection is needed
• Check required fastening torque and electrical safety procedures for installation

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp with standard 80 mm rail systems and compatible hardware; ensure components are placed squarely in the clamping area and tighten according to manufacturer guidance. Avoid using the clamp in environments with aggressive corrosion without suitable protection, and always follow electrical safety rules when mounting conductive parts.
