Connection Adapter Rittal 9342.240 — width 55 mm, height 210 mm, weight 380 g

Rittal Connection Adapter 9342.240 is a compact adapter designed for secure mechanical and electrical connection inside control cabinets and distribution enclosures. With a width of 55 mm and height of 210 mm, and weighing 380 g, the adapter supports connection of round conductors or laminated copper bars and is compatible with bar systems that have 60 mm center-to-center spacing. The part is intended for industrial panel assembly, retrofit and maintenance operations where reliable contact and robust mounting are required.

Advantages

The adapter provides a stable mechanical interface and consistent electrical contact for conductors and copper bars, reducing the risk of loose connections. Its compact dimensions allow installation in space-constrained panels while maintaining sufficient creepage and clearance for safe operation. Designed for use with standard 60 mm center-to-center bar systems, the adapter simplifies integration into existing layouts and supports routine maintenance and retrofit work without major modifications.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet assemblies
• Electrical distribution panels and busbar extensions
• Retrofit projects where existing bar spacing is 60 mm
• Maintenance and replacement of conductor connections

Key specifications

• Functional form: connection adapter for round conductors and laminated copper bars
• Mounting compatibility: bar systems with 60 mm center-to-center spacing
• Width: 55 mm
• Height: 210 mm
• Net weight: 380 g

How to use

Mount the adapter on the designated bar system with 60 mm center-to-center spacing following the enclosureʼs wiring layout. Align the adapter so that conductors or copper bars engage the contact surfaces, then secure fastening points according to the panel manufacturerʼs torque recommendations. Ensure all connections are tightened and that insulation, creepage, and clearance distances are preserved before energizing the system. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and observe lockout procedures during installation and maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with the existing busbar layout and conductor dimensions before installation. Regularly inspect connection points for tightness and signs of corrosion, and retighten or replace components as needed to maintain reliable electrical connection.
