Aluminium extrusion provides high thermal conductivity for enhanced passive heat dissipation, reducing risk of overheating in compact control panels and enabling closer component packing. This translates to higher reliability and potential energy savings from simplified cooling, especially in constrained spaces where airflow is limited. The enclosure dimensions—width 526.6 mm, height 398.8 mm, depth 110 mm—and the front-panel fit of 482.6 x 354.8 mm help streamline cabinet design, enabling faster deployment and consistent panel aesthetics across equipment lines. Seals are included to ensure IP65 protection, guarding against dust and water ingress in harsh environments and improving uptime in manufacturing or process facilities. Rear servicing access minimizes maintenance downtime by allowing access without removing the enclosure, while two cam locks with a 3 mm double-bit insert provide secure operation. The use of extruded aluminium, die-cast zinc corner pieces, and plastic corner protectors offers a robust yet lightweight build suitable for serviceable, modular solutions that scale with your production line. While accommodating standard components, CP 6380.040 also supports compatibility with the BH 482.6 x 354.8 mm front panel format, ensuring a predictable integration path for legacy hardware and new automation modules alike.

FAQs
The CP 6380.040 supports a front panel of 482.6 mm width by 354.8 mm height, with an overall enclosure footprint of 526.6 mm by 398.8 mm and a depth of 110 mm. This standardized front-panel size minimizes custom fabrication, accelerates panel assembly, and simplifies component mounting, while the 100 mm installation depth keeps the enclosure compatible with space-constrained enclosures in existing frames.
The IP65 rating provides complete protection against dust ingress and water jets from any direction, enabling installation in dusty production floors, damp environments, or outdoor-adjacent scenarios. This reduces the need for additional sealing or enclosure enclosures, lowers maintenance intervals, and supports compliance with site hygiene and environmental guidelines in process industries.
Yes, servicing access is from the rear. This design minimizes downtime by allowing technicians to reach wiring, connectors, and modules without removing the entire enclosure from the cabinet. Rear access also preserves front-panel aesthetics and reduces disruption to mounted components, which is especially valuable in tight spaces or when panels are mounted in line with other equipment.
The enclosure uses two cam locks with a 3 mm double-bit insert, providing secure closure while allowing service access with common hand tools. This combination balances security with field maintainability, reducing tampering risk in production environments and enabling straightforward opening for maintenance or upgrades without specialized equipment.
Key considerations include its lightweight yet robust aluminium construction with die-cast zinc corner pieces and plastic protectors, which resist impact and corrosion while keeping weight manageable at 6.6 kg per pack. The Seals included, rear servicing, and front-panel compatibility reduce installation time, spare-part variety, and maintenance costs. The enclosure also aligns with industry classifications such as ETIM 9 EC002504 and ECLASS 8.0 27180505, aiding procurement and lifecycle management.
