Data Sheet, Technical Information
1STC803001D0201
Aerated rear-panel design enables superior airflow, reducing heat buildup and extending component life in cabinets. This translates to higher uptime in manufacturing lines and process automation environments, where thermal throttling can impact performance. IP31 protection helps mitigate dust and moisture ingress, supporting compliant operation in harsh environments and reducing the risk of premature equipment failure. The panel’s relatively light weight at 17.7 kg facilitates safer, faster on-site handling and fewer crane/lift dependencies during installation and service. With a width of 550 mm and a depth of 2100 mm, the unit fits wide cabinet backplanes and enables orderly cable management and rear access for maintenance. Compatibility with System pro E TBBS-backed configurations streamlines procurement, reduces install time, and improves long-term maintainability, backed by ABB’s data sheet and installation manuals for side/back panels.

FAQs
Yes. The Col-Ip31 rear panel is designed to align with ABB System pro E TBBS installation practices, providing side/back panel compatibility and a straightforward mounting pathway that reduces install time and retrofit risk in existing ABB power management and distribution enclosures.
IP31 indicates protection against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm and protection against vertically dripping water. In practical terms, the panel helps guard internal components from incidental dust intrusion and light moisture exposure typical in manufacturing and outdoor-adjacent installations, though it is not rated for immersion.
Ideal for large control cabinets and switchgear where rear mounting and airflow management are critical. The 550 mm width and 2100 mm depth support expansive back-panel layouts, enabling organized cable routing, improved cooling, and easier access for maintenance in process automation, data centers, and heavy industry environments.
The product aligns with WEEE regulations, listed as 4. Large Equipment, and is designated for Business To Business procurement. It also references environmental information under the 1STC803001D0201 series, supporting responsible disposal and compliance reporting in industrial settings.
By improving airflow and reducing heat-induced failures, the panel can extend component life and decrease unplanned downtime. Lighter handling and clear integration with existing ABB systems cut installation labor, while standardized documentation accelerates maintenance planning and supports longer equipment uptime and overall process efficiency.
