Electrical enclosure Rittal CP 6536.010 — steel cabinet 400×150×300 mm, IP66

Rittal CP 6536.010 is a steel electrical enclosure with external dimensions 400 × 150 × 300 mm and protection rating IP66. The cabinet is engineered to house electrical components, terminals and small control equipment for both indoor and outdoor installations. Constructed from corrosion-resistant steel with a door in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) and with plastics approved for use with foodstuffs, the enclosure provides dust-tight sealing and robust protection against powerful water jets, making it suitable for industrial and commercial wiring and control panel applications.

Advantages

The enclosure combines a durable steel body with a stainless steel door for enhanced corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Rated IP66, it prevents ingress of dust and withstands powerful water jets; when combined with appropriate sealing and mounting accessories it can achieve higher protection classes up to IP69K. The use of food-approved plastics for internal components enables safe deployment in hygienic or food-processing areas. The compact footprint and standardized mounting options support easy integration with support arm systems and existing control cabinet layouts.

Suitable for

• Housing small control and automation components
• Protecting terminal blocks and connection points in industrial environments
• Electrical distribution and junction points in outdoor or washdown areas
• Food processing or hygienic zones requiring materials approved for contact with foodstuffs

Key specifications

• External dimensions: 400 mm (width) × 150 mm (depth) × 300 mm (height)
• Material: steel enclosure body with stainless steel door (1.4301 / AISI 304); plastics approved for food contact in selected components
• Protection rating: IP66 (dust-tight and protection against powerful water jets); design compatible with higher protection up to IP69K with appropriate seals and assembly
• Mounting: wall-mountable with standardized internal mounting options; compatible with support arm systems
• Application environment: indoor and outdoor use, suitable for washdown and hygienic areas

How to use

Mount the enclosure on a flat, load-bearing surface or a compatible support arm system, ensuring the chosen mounting position maintains the door opening clearance. Before installing equipment, verify all seals and gaskets are correctly seated to preserve the IP66 rating. Fit terminal rails, mounting plates or DIN rails inside the cabinet as required, then secure components and wiring following local electrical codes. Close the door and engage latches to confirm a tight seal; inspect cable entry points and use certified cable glands or conduits to maintain protection level.

Использование и рекомендации

For environments requiring higher mechanical or washdown resistance, select compatible sealing kits and verification procedures to achieve IP69K performance. Regularly inspect seals and fasteners, especially after maintenance or reconfiguration, to ensure ongoing protection and corrosion resistance.
