Rittal SV 9342.500 polyamide housing device adapter, 3‑pole, 160A, top cable outlet, grey

The Rittal SV 9342.500 polyamide housing device adapter is a 3‑pole, 160 A connection solution with a top cable outlet and grey finish. Designed for installation in electrical enclosures and control panels, this compact adapter provides fixed, insulated conductor routing and reliable mechanical support for medium‑current distribution points. The polyamide housing delivers electrical insulation and dimensional stability in typical industrial and commercial environments.

Advantages

This device adapter combines a three‑pole configuration with a 160 A current rating in a compact polyamide housing, enabling space‑efficient placement in cabinets and panels. The top cable outlet simplifies cable entry and routing in setups where feed lines approach from above. The grey polyamide material offers good electrical insulation, resistance to environmental influences typical for indoor industrial applications, and consistent mechanical strength for secure mounting.

Suitable for

• Power distribution in electrical cabinets and switchgear
• Mounting in control panels for machinery and automation systems
• Connections requiring a 3‑pole, 160 A rated feed with top cable entry
• Industrial and commercial installations where compact, insulated adapters are needed

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for indoor use in electrical enclosures and is optimized for typical industrial and commercial ambient conditions. It is not designed to replace devices specifically rated for outdoor exposure, extreme chemical environments, or specialised high‑temperature applications without appropriate enclosure protection. For applications requiring higher current ratings, different pole configurations, or integrated protective devices, choose an alternative product matched to those technical requirements.

Key specifications

• Poles: 3
• Rated current: 160 A
• Housing material: polyamide
• Cable outlet orientation: top
• Colour: grey
• Mounting: suitable for installation in enclosures and panels

How to use

Install the adapter into the enclosure or panel opening according to the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions and local electrical regulations. Route supply and load conductors to the top cable outlet and secure them using the appropriate terminal screws or clamps provided on the device. Ensure conductor sizes and installation torque match the rated current and standards. After wiring, verify tightness of connections and provide any required strain relief and earth/ground connections before energising the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 3‑pole, 160 A rating matches the system current and conductor cross‑sections
• Ensure top cable outlet orientation fits the enclosure layout and cable routing plan
• Check that polyamide housing material and grey colour meet environmental and aesthetic requirements
• Verify compatibility with panel cut‑out dimensions and mounting provisions

Usage recommendations

Use appropriately sized conductors and tighten terminal connections to the torque values specified by the device or applicable standards. Protect the adapter within a suitable enclosure, and combine it with correct overcurrent protection and earthing practices to ensure safe operation.
