Rittal TS 8609.060 Divider Panel - IP54 Shielding
Part Number: 8609060
Quick Summary
Rittal TS 8609.060 divider panel shields individual enclosure cells in TS systems, enabling clean internal zoning for compact cabinets. Engineers often struggle with heat, airflow, and drive isolation within limited cabinet space, making flexible divider solutions essential. Notably, this panel achieves IP54 protection and uses zinc-plated 1.5 mm sheet steel for durable service in harsh environments. Its rear-mount capability and outer mounting compatibility support improved cooling, easier service access, and scalable layouts, reducing rework. For integrators and procurement teams, this part offers reliable modularity, straightforward installation, and consistent supplier lead times within the broader TS enclosure ecosystem.
Product Information
Extended Description
8609060 Rittal: TS Divider panel, for TS, for WD: 2000x600 mm
Article number
TS 8609.060
Product description
For shielding individual enclosure cells. All-round, double fold for stability and to hold the seal. Thanks to the symmetry of the enclosure frame, divider panels may also be fitted at the rear, dimensions permitting.
Applications
Notches in the corners and half-way up the sides permit the use of angular baying brackets and baying brackets, even with a divider panel fitted.

Product description
TS Divider panel, for TS, for WD: 2000x600 mm
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The divider panel is designed with an all-round, double fold to enhance stability and seal integrity, which reduces dust ingress and improves enclosure reliability in demanding conditions. This directly translates to fewer component failures and longer service intervals in automated systems, particularly in TS 8 enclosures handling motor drives or frequency converters. Application-wise, it supports rear mounting to optimize cooling unit placement while facing units outward, enabling efficient heat dissipation in compact layouts and facilitating easier maintenance tasks in industrial control rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The use of sheet steel, 1.5 mm thickness, and a zinc-plated finish delivers robust corrosion resistance and long-term durability, reducing maintenance costs and replacement cycles in moisture-prone production environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Supplied with assembly parts and compatible with outer mounting levels, it simplifies installation on existing TS frames and supports quick reconfiguration in modular automation cabinets. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Corner notches and mid-side access permit angular baying brackets even with a divider panel installed, enabling flexible rack integration and streamlined cabinet planning. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP 54 protection, as defined by IEC 60529, helps maintain internal integrity against dust and water splashes, safeguarding sensitive drives and controllers and ensuring compliant operation in mid-grade industrial environments.

FAQs
Install on the outer mounting level using the included assembly parts. The panel is designed for TS 8 enclosures with WD 2000x600 mm and features notches at corners and mid-sides to accommodate angular baying brackets. The panel is double-folded for stability and can be mounted at the rear where space permits, enabling versatile layout configurations.
Key specs include sheet steel at 1.5 mm thickness, zinc-plated surface, IP 54 protection, and a weight of 15.3 kg per pack. It fits TS enclosures with a height of 2000 mm and depth of 600 mm (WD 2000x600). The product ships as 1 piece per pack and includes assembly parts for straightforward installation.
Yes. The TS 8609.060 installation instructions explicitly allow rear mounting. This supports cooling unit placement with the cooling units facing outward and protected by a cover, improving heat management in dense panel layouts while preserving access for maintenance.
IP54 indicates protection against limited dust ingress and splash water from all directions, which is suitable for many production floors and control cabinets. In applications with higher dust or moisture exposure, additional enclosure provisions or enclosure-specific fan and filtration strategies should be considered to maintain long-term reliability.
By enabling clean separation of enclosure cells and improving heat dissipation through rear mounting options, the divider panel reduces cooling-related energy use, minimizes maintenance frequency, and lowers field service time. Its modular design also speeds up cabinet reconfiguration for changing automation tasks, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life cycle.
