Enclosure housing Rittal SV 9666.270 — polystyrene housing, single unit

The Rittal SV 9666.270 is a single-unit enclosure housing made from polystyrene, intended for use in control cabinets and electrical installations where a lightweight, non-conductive enclosure is required. It provides a basic protective shell and mounting surface for electronic modules, components, and small devices, and integrates into standard row-mount installations. The housing is suitable for applications that need electrical insulation and uncomplicated mechanical support without adding significant weight.

Advantages

The polystyrene construction offers low weight and electrical non-conductivity, making the enclosure easy to handle and suitable for insulating sensitive electronics. As a single unit designed for row installation, it allows straightforward mounting and alignment within control panels. Its simple form factor is compatible with standard module-based setups and facilitates quick replacement or reconfiguration of installed components.

Suitable for

• Housing small electronic modules and control components in distribution boards and control cabinets
• Applications requiring electrically non-conductive enclosures to prevent short circuits
• Lightweight installations where reduced weight is advantageous during assembly or transport
• Prototype or low-stress environments where a basic protective enclosure is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This polystyrene housing is not intended for environments that demand high mechanical strength, impact resistance, or significant ingress protection such as outdoor exposure, heavy industrial areas, or locations with high humidity and dust levels. It also does not serve as a substitute for metal enclosures when electromagnetic shielding or grounding is required.

Key specifications

• Material: polystyrene (non-conductive)
• Configuration: single unit for row/module installation
• Function: protective housing and mounting surface for electronic components
• Weight characteristic: lightweight construction suitable for easy handling

How to use

Mount the enclosure into the designated row or module slot within the control cabinet following the cabinet manufacturer's mounting guidelines. Position electronic modules or components inside the housing and secure them using compatible fastening methods recommended for polystyrene substrates. Ensure that wiring and connectors are routed to avoid mechanical stress on the housing and that clearances meet applicable electrical installation regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a polystyrene enclosure meets mechanical and environmental requirements for your installation
• Verify compatibility with your existing row-mount dimensions and mounting system
• Assess whether electrical insulation alone is sufficient or if metal enclosures are needed for grounding or shielding

Usage recommendations

Use this lightweight polystyrene housing for low-stress indoor control panel applications where electrical insulation and easy handling are priorities. Avoid exposure to solvents, high temperatures, and outdoor weather to maintain material integrity and ensure long-term reliability.
