Bolt Rittal SV 9676.981 M12 x 40 mm for sheet metal — pack of 8

Rittal SV 9676.981 is an M12 x 40 mm bolt designed for fastening sheet metal connections in enclosures, frames and panels. Supplied as a pack of eight, this threaded M12 bolt provides a standard metric fastening solution where secure mechanical joining is required for connection kits and assembly applications.

Advantages

This bolt offers a standard M12 thread profile and a 40 mm length that suit common sheet metal joining tasks. The silver finish is compatible with many industrial and electrical enclosures and provides corrosion-resistant appearance for indoor installations. Pack quantity of eight allows multiple connection points to be completed without purchasing single fasteners separately.

Suitable for

• Fastening sheet metal panels and frames
• Assembly of enclosure connection kits and terminal fittings
• Replacing worn or missing M12 bolts in industrial cabinets
• Applications requiring standard metric M12 threaded joining

When it may not be suitable

This bolt is intended for sheet metal connections and standard mechanical fastening; it is not specified for high-tensile structural load situations or critical safety-bearing members. For outdoor installations exposed to harsh environments, additional corrosion-resistant grades or coatings may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Length: 40 mm
• Material compatibility: sheet metal applications
• Finish/color: silver
• Pack quantity: 8 pieces

How to use

Use the bolt by inserting the threaded end through aligned holes in sheet metal components and tighten into the mating nut or threaded insert to the manufacturer's recommended torque for M12 fasteners. Ensure that mating threads are clean and properly engaged to avoid cross-threading. For electrical enclosures, confirm grounding and insulation requirements before final tightening.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that M12 thread and 40 mm length match the thicknesses and fittings of your sheet metal parts
• Check whether a specific corrosion-resistant material or coating is required for your environment
• Verify compatibility with nuts, threaded inserts or connection kit components used in the assembly

Usage recommendations

For reliable assemblies, use appropriate washers and mating hardware rated for M12 threads. Tighten to recommended torque values and perform periodic inspections in applications subject to vibration or thermal cycling.
