Cover plate Rittal SV 9684.990, steel housing, pack of 2, for VX enclosure (50 mm)

Rittal SV 9684.990 is a steel cover plate supplied as a pack of two and designed for use with VX enclosures (50 mm). The plates have a natural steel finish and function as blanking covers to close unused openings in control and electrical cabinets, helping to protect internal components from dust and mechanical contact. These cover plates are intended for industrial cabinet installations where a durable, corrosion-resistant steel blanking solution is required.

Advantages

The steel construction offers mechanical strength and dimensional stability, while the natural finish provides a neutral appearance that integrates with standard enclosures. Supplied as a pack of two, the plates allow for quick replacement or simultaneous closure of multiple openings. Their design is compatible with VX enclosures at the 50 mm mounting width, enabling a straightforward fit without additional modification.

Suitable for

• Blanking unused module or fuse-switch disconnector slots in VX enclosures (50 mm)
• Protecting enclosure interiors from dust and accidental contact
• Industrial electrical and control cabinet installations requiring steel cover plates

When it may not be suitable

This cover plate is a passive blanking element and does not provide active sealing against liquids or gas-tight protection; for IP-rated sealing or gasketed closures, a dedicated sealed cover or gasketed accessory should be chosen. It is also not suitable where electrical insulation is required, since the material is steel and conductive.

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Finish: natural steel
• Pack quantity: 2 pieces
• Intended mounting width: 50 mm (compatible with VX enclosures)
• Function: blanking/cover plate for enclosure openings

How to use

Identify the unused opening or module slot in the VX enclosure with a 50 mm mounting width. Align the cover plate with the opening and secure it according to the enclosure’s mounting method (screw, clip, or frame fit as applicable). Ensure the plate sits flush with surrounding panels to avoid gaps that could permit dust ingress. For maintenance, remove or replace the plate using basic hand tools as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your VX enclosure‘s 50 mm mounting width and slot type
• Determine whether a non-conductive or gasketed cover is needed for your application
• Check whether the natural steel finish and mechanical protection level meet site requirements

Usage recommendations

Use these steel cover plates for closing unused VX enclosure slots where basic mechanical protection and dust reduction are required. Avoid using them as a substitute for sealed or insulated covers when environmental sealing or electrical isolation is necessary.
