Bolt Rittal SV 9676.982 M12 x 50 mm for sheet metal, pack of 8

Rittal SV 9676.982 is an M12 x 50 mm bolt designed specifically for secure sheet-metal connections in enclosures, mounting frames and industrial housings. Supplied as a pack of 8, this silver fastening bolt provides a standard M12 connecting thread suitable for assembly tasks in electrical cabinets, control panels and related applications where reliable mechanical fastening of sheet-metal parts is required.

Advantages

The bolt offers a standardized M12 thread and a 50 mm length that accommodate common sheet-metal thicknesses and fastening requirements. Supplied in a set of eight, it simplifies replacement and batch assembly. The silver finish provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor industrial and electrical enclosure environments. Compatibility with common M12 nuts and threaded inserts makes it practical for many mounting and joining tasks.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting sheet-metal panels in electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Fastening mounting frames and rack components
• Repair and maintenance of industrial housings and panels
• Batch assembly where multiple identical M12 fasteners are required

When it may not be suitable

This bolt is intended for general sheet-metal connection and indoor enclosure use; it may not be suitable where specialized corrosion resistance, stainless steel material, or high-strength grade bolts are required. For outdoor installations, highly corrosive environments, or structural applications requiring certified high-tensile fasteners, select materials and grades designed for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M12
• Length: 50 mm
• Application material: sheet metal
• Finish/color: silver
• Package quantity: 8 pieces

How to use

Choose the correct mating nut or threaded insert compatible with M12 threads. Insert the bolt through aligned sheet-metal holes and tighten to the recommended torque for the bolt material and application to ensure secure clamping without deforming the sheets. Use washers where needed to distribute load or to protect painted surfaces. For electrical enclosures, ensure that fastening does not compromise gaskets or seals and that electrical continuity requirements are met when necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that M12 thread and 50 mm length suit your sheet-metal thickness and assembly design
• Check material and finish requirements for corrosion resistance in your installation environment
• Verify compatibility with nuts, washers, or threaded inserts you plan to use
• Ensure the pack quantity (8 pieces) matches the number of fasteners needed

Usage recommendations

For routine assembly in indoor electrical cabinets and control panels, tighten bolts to standard torque values for M12 fasteners appropriate to the bolt material, use flat washers to protect sheet surfaces, and replace bolts in matched sets when performing maintenance to maintain consistent clamping. For harsher environments, consider selecting fasteners with higher corrosion resistance or protective coatings.
