Mounting Adapter Rittal CP 6212.500 Aluminium, Grey

Rittal CP 6212.500 Grey Aluminium is an aluminium adapter designed for external mounting of operating housings. It fits housings with a support arm cut-out measuring 120 x 65 mm and is compatible with connection consoles that follow VESA 75 and VESA 100 mounting patterns. The product is finished in grey and intended to provide a durable, lightweight interface between a support arm and an enclosure.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a good strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance for typical indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. Compatibility with both VESA 75 and VESA 100 provides flexible mounting options and simplifies integration with common connection consoles. The adapter is shaped to match a 120 x 65 mm support arm cut-out, ensuring proper alignment and a stable fit for standard operating housings.

Suitable for

• Mounting control and operating housings on external support arms
• Installations requiring VESA 75 or VESA 100 connection consoles
• Applications where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant adapter is needed

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is not suitable for housings with support arm cut-outs that differ from 120 x 65 mm. It is also inappropriate where heavier-duty structural support or specialised sealing against harsh outdoor exposure is required, unless additional protective measures and supports are provided.

Key specifications

• Material: Aluminium
• Colour: Grey
• Support arm cut-out compatibility: 120 x 65 mm
• Connection console compatibility: VESA 75 and VESA 100
• Typical use: External mounting of operating/control housings

How to use

Align the adapter with the housing so the 120 x 65 mm cut-out matches the support arm opening. Secure the adapter to the housing and to the connection console using appropriate fasteners consistent with the console's VESA pattern (75 mm or 100 mm). Verify mechanical stability and grounding if required by the installation. Follow applicable installation standards and safety procedures.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the housing's support arm cut-out dimensions are 120 x 65 mm
• Check that the target connection console uses VESA 75 or VESA 100 mounting
• Assess environmental exposure to determine if additional sealing or corrosion protection is needed
• Ensure fasteners and load capacity suit the weight of the mounted housing

Usage recommendations

For reliable installation, use corrosion-resistant fasteners sized to the VESA mounting pattern, check torque specifications for the enclosure and support arm, and perform a final inspection to confirm alignment and stability before powering any installed equipment.
