Product description
VX Partial mounting plate, dimensions: 700x300 mm
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VX 8617.560 is a 700x300 mm partial mounting plate made from 2.5 mm sheet steel with a zinc-plated surface. This combination provides robust mechanical support while resisting corrosion in industrial environments, enabling longer service life for mounted components and reduced replacement costs. Business impact: increased enclosure reliability and lower total cost of ownership due to durable construction and straightforward reconfiguration. Application: ideal for adding PLC modules, terminal blocks, or small control devices inside VX, VX SE, or PC enclosures, with the option to install it upright as a vertical mounting surface or flat as a horizontal base, accelerating panel upgrades without enclosure redesign. Feature → Compatibility and installation advantages → Application: Adaptor rail VX is required for installing in VX SE, PC, IW; installation options support easy integration into existing layouts. This translates to faster commissioning, minimal downtime, and scalable control architectures. Feature → Sustainability and efficiency → Application: Packs of 1 with weight 5.78 kg and PCF 22 kg CO2 eq (Cat B) demonstrate a compact, efficient component for sustainable manufacturing. The 700x300 mm footprint fits a wide range of interior layouts, enabling cleaner wiring schemes and improved thermal management while meeting standard enclosure widths of 800 mm and door compatibility.

FAQs
Installation begins with verifying enclosure compatibility (VX family or PC variants) and selecting the correct orientation. The plate can be mounted vertically as a mounting surface or horizontally as a base. For VX SE, PC, and IW configurations, an adaptor rail VX is required. Assembly parts are included to simplify attachment, and alignment should consider door clearance and cable routing to maintain serviceability.
The plate measures 700 mm in width and 300 mm in depth, with a product weight of 5.78 kg per pack. Constructed from 2.5 mm sheet steel and zinc-plated, it provides solid support for added components while minimizing enclosure footprint impact. Planning should account for cabling clearances and potential future additions within VX, VX SE, or PC enclosures.
Yes, the 700x300 mm mounting plate offers a dedicated platform to consolidate components, improving wiring organization and accessibility. Its robust steel construction and zinc plating enhance durability in demanding environments. For high-density layouts, pair with the adaptor rail where required and plan vertical or horizontal mounting to optimize space without compromising serviceability.
The provided data does not specify CE or IP ratings for this mounting plate. However, it uses standard VX family compatibility, 2.5 mm sheet steel, and a zinc-plated finish, and it is cataloged with ETIM EC000213 and ECLASS 27409216. For regulatory compliance, verify local requirements and product documentation from Rittal for your region and application.
Maintenance benefits come from easier access to components mounted on the plate, cleaner wiring routes, and faster reconfiguration when expanding systems. ROI is driven by reduced commissioning time, lower risk of wiring errors, and the ability to adapt existing VX enclosures for new applications without costly enclosure redesigns or new housings.
