Adapter for electrical switch Rittal SV 9635.373 — polyamide housing, light grey, 18 mm width, 35 mm depth, 160 mm height

Rittal adapter SV 9635.373 is a single-piece accessory for electrical switch installations, manufactured from polyamide in a light grey finish. With compact dimensions of 18 mm width, 35 mm depth and 160 mm height, it is intended for integration into control cabinets and distribution assemblies where a slim, robust mounting interface is required. The adapter provides a stable housing for switch components and helps align and secure devices within modular rail or panel arrangements.

Advantages

This polyamide adapter offers mechanical stability and resistance to typical industrial environmental factors while keeping weight low. Its narrow 18 mm footprint and 160 mm height permit dense mounting of control elements, saving space in cabinets and enclosures. The one-piece construction simplifies installation and reduces the risk of misalignment compared with multi-part mounting solutions.

Suitable for

• Mounting and aligning single-pole switching components in control cabinets
• Integration into distribution assemblies and modular rail systems
• Applications that require a lightweight, chemically resistant housing
• Installations where compact width and modest depth are needed to save panel space

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is a passive mounting accessory and does not include electrical contacts, terminals, or switching elements; therefore it is not sufficient where a complete switching device is required out of the box. It may also be unsuitable in applications that demand metal housings for enhanced electromagnetic shielding or extreme mechanical loads beyond the capacity of polyamide.

Key specifications

• Material: polyamide housing
• Color: light grey
• Width: 18 mm
• Depth: 35 mm
• Height: 160 mm
• Design: single-piece adapter for mounting

How to use

Place the adapter into the intended mounting location inside the control cabinet or on the mounting rail, ensuring the orientation matches the device to be installed. Secure the adapter according to the cabinet or rail manufacturer’s instructions, then mount the switch or component onto the adapter so that it aligns and locks into position. Verify that the assembly sits flush and that any mating connectors or actuators engage correctly before restoring power to the system. Follow relevant electrical and safety standards during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm mechanical compatibility with the intended switch or component dimensions
• Assess whether polyamide housing meets environmental and mechanical requirements for the application
• Check available space in the cabinet to accommodate 18 mm width and 160 mm height
• Ensure the adapter meets the mounting system type used in your control or distribution assembly

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter as part of a structured mounting plan to maximize panel space efficiency; combine with compatible rail and fastening systems, and routinely inspect mounted assemblies for secure fit and signs of wear in environments with vibration or chemical exposure.
