Protective Touch Guard Rittal SV 9677798 polyamide screwless, light grey

Rittal Protective Touch Guard SV 9677798 is a screwless safety cover made from light grey polyamide. It is designed to prevent accidental contact with live parts on devices and device adapters with a 185 mm compatibility profile. Supplied as a single-piece pack, this non-conductive guard is intended for use in industrial enclosures and electrical installations where a removable, tool-free protective barrier is required.

Advantages

The product combines a screwless attachment concept with a durable polyamide construction, delivering a protective cover that can be mounted and removed quickly without tools. Its non-conductive material reduces the risk of electrical conduction while offering resistance to common mechanical stresses found in industrial environments. The light grey finish provides neutral visual integration with typical control panels and enclosures.

Suitable for

• Covering exposed live parts on device adapters with 185 mm compatibility
• Use in industrial enclosures and switch cabinets to add non-conductive protection
• Temporary or permanent installations where tool-free removal is preferred
• Situations requiring compliance with basic touch-protection practices

When it may not be suitable

This touch guard is intended for basic protection against accidental contact and is not a substitute for full insulation or barrier systems required by specific regulatory standards. It may not be suitable where IP-rated dust/water sealing, high mechanical impact resistance, or certified flame retardance beyond standard polyamide properties are mandatory.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyamide (non-conductive)
• Colour: Light grey
• Attachment: Screwless, tool-free mounting
• Quantity: 1 piece per pack
• Compatibility profile: for device adapters with 185 mm dimension

How to use

Position the protective guard over the target adapter or device area so that it covers exposed live parts. Engage the screwless mounting features until the guard clicks or seats securely against the enclosure or adapter flange. Ensure the cover is fully seated and does not obstruct ventilation or required access points. For removal, disengage the snap-fit points and lift the guard away, taking care to de-energize circuits when working close to live parts.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify dimensional compatibility with your device adapter or enclosure, specifically the 185 mm profile requirement
• Confirm that a screwless, non-sealed cover meets your site's safety and certification requirements
• Assess whether polyamide material properties (mechanical strength, temperature range) are adequate for the intended environment

Usage recommendations

Install the guard only on compatible adapters and ensure regular visual inspection for secure seating and any signs of wear. De-energize circuits before performing maintenance near the protected area. Use the guard as part of a broader safety strategy that includes proper signage, grounding where required, and adherence to local electrical safety codes.
