Enclosure accessory Rittal AS 4055.775 metallic, round punch matrix 13.5 mm

Rittal AS 4055.775 metallic round punch matrix with a 13.5 mm diameter is an accessory designed for precision processing of enclosures, panels and busbars. The tool is intended to be used as a female die in combination with the corresponding male die to produce clean, circular holes. It is suitable for use in electrical cabinets, control panels and similar sheet-metal assemblies where accurate, repeatable punch operations are required.

Advantages

The metallic construction provides durability and resistance to wear during repeated punching. The 13.5 mm round geometry is optimized for creating standardized circular cutouts with consistent edge quality. Designed specifically for compatibility with Rittal processing equipment and male dies, the matrix enables precise alignment and reliable hole formation in busbars and enclosure panels.

Suitable for

• Punching circular holes in enclosure sheets and panels
• Creating holes in busbars when used with the matching male die
• Electrical cabinet assembly and retrofitting tasks
• Control panel fabrication and service operations

When it may not be suitable

This female punch matrix is not a standalone tool and must be used together with the correct male die and compatible punch press or tool system. It is intended for metal sheet and busbar applications; it may not be suitable for very thick or hardened materials outside the recommended capacity of the punching equipment being used.

Key specifications

• Die shape: round
• Hole diameter: 13.5 mm
• Material: metallic construction for wear resistance
• Intended use: female punch matrix for combination with a male die
• Application: enclosures, panels and busbars

How to use

Install the female matrix into the designated holder of the punch press or hand tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, then fit the corresponding male die in the mating position. Align the sheet, panel or busbar under the die pair, verify correct positioning and clamp the workpiece if required. Operate the punch press to perform the cutting operation, then remove burrs or slugs as needed and inspect hole quality. Follow safety procedures and machine guidelines throughout the process.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with the specific male die and the punch press or tool system you will use
• Confirm the material thickness and type you intend to punch are within the capacity of your equipment
• Check that a 13.5 mm round hole meets your installation and component requirements
• Assess the need for spare dies or maintenance tools for prolonged use

Usage recommendations

Use the Rittal female punch matrix only with the matching male die and a correctly rated punch press. Regularly inspect the die edges for wear and replace when hole quality degrades. Deburr punched holes when required for assembly and safety.
