Electrical switch accessory Rittal SV 9635.040 polyamide/polycarbonate housing IP2X, 900 mm width, 160 A board accessory

Rittal SV 9635.040 is an electrical switch accessory intended for integration with RiLine Compact busbar systems. The unit has a light-grey polyamide/polycarbonate housing with IP2X finger-protection rating and is certified to UL 508 and IEC 61439 standards. It is designed to fit a 900 mm panel width and comes configured for a 160 A board, offering a standardized enclosure solution for electrical distribution and control assemblies.

Advantages

The polyamide/polycarbonate housing combines mechanical robustness with electrical insulation, ensuring protection of internal components while keeping overall weight moderate. IP2X protection reduces risk of accidental contact with live parts, and conformity with UL 508 and IEC 61439 provides recognised safety and compatibility for industrial installations. The 900 mm width and 160 A configuration allow straightforward integration into RiLine Compact layouts and facilitate consistent system assembly.

Suitable for

• Use as a switch or board accessory within RiLine Compact busbar systems
• Industrial control cabinets and distribution panels with 900 mm internal width
• Applications requiring a 160 A board configuration for power distribution
• Installations that require compliance with UL 508 and IEC 61439 standards

When it may not be suitable

This accessory is tailored specifically for RiLine Compact systems and a 900 mm panel width; it may not be compatible with other busbar families or cabinets with different internal dimensions. The IP2X rating provides protection against incidental contact but does not offer dust-tight or water ingress protection, so it may not be suitable for environments requiring higher IP ratings.

Key specifications

• Housing material: polyamide / polycarbonate
• Protection rating: IP2X (finger protection)
• Rated board current: 160 A
• Intended panel width: 900 mm
• Standards: conforms to UL 508 and IEC 61439

How to use

Mount the accessory in accordance with RiLine Compact assembly instructions, ensuring the panel or enclosure provides a 900 mm width for proper fit. Follow manufacturer guidance for mechanical fastening and electrical connections to the busbar. Verify that incoming and outgoing conductors, protective devices, and clearances meet applicable standards before energising. Use qualified personnel for installation and verify continuity, insulation resistance, and absence of short circuits prior to commissioning.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the specific RiLine Compact busbar system and enclosure dimensions (900 mm width)
• Verify that a 160 A board configuration meets the required current rating for your application
• Check whether IP2X protection is adequate for the intended environment or if a higher IP rating is needed
• Ensure compliance requirements (UL 508, IEC 61439) match project specifications

Usage recommendations

Install and service this accessory only by trained electrical personnel. Use proper torque values for terminal connections, maintain required clearances from live parts, and ensure the enclosure earthing/grounding is correctly implemented to meet applicable safety standards.
