Product description
VX base/plinth trim panel, sides, H: 100 mm, for D: 400 mm, stainless steel, 1.4301
Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) with a brushed grain 400 finish delivers robust corrosion resistance in service and a professional appearance for exposed cabinet edges. The business impact is reduced maintenance costs and longer product life. In practice, install these trim panels on VX base units to create clean side finishes that resist humidity, cleaning agents, and typical office and workshop environments. Dimensions set the fit: height 100 mm, designed to match D: 400 mm bases. This precise sizing reduces gaps and misalignment, speeding up installation and ensuring enclosure integrity. Fits VX, VX SE, TS, and PC enclosure families, simplifying part selection for projects. UL 50E Type 1 rating confirms suitability for cabinet service in ordinary environments, supporting regulatory compliance. Packaged as 2 pieces with assembly parts included, the kit reduces vendor handling and stocking complexity. Note that components from the 1st generation base/plinth system cannot be mixed with the 2nd generation system, preventing compatibility issues and rework.

Align the panel height to 100 mm and secure with the provided hardware, ensuring a flush, corrosion-resistant finish on the sides. Ensure not to mix with the second generation base/plinth components to avoid fit issues.
Key specs include material stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), brushed grain 400 surface finish, height 100 mm, depth compatibility 400 mm, and UL 50E Type 1 rating. The product ships as a 2-piece pack with assembly parts. It is designed to fit VX, VX SE, TS, and PC enclosure families and carries the EAN 4028177037793 for sourcing and cataloging.
Yes, the panel uses stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), which provides solid corrosion resistance in typical cabinet exteriors and workshop environments. While it does not specify IP ratings here, its stainless steel construction and brushed finish offer a durable exterior suitable for many non-washdown applications, reducing maintenance frequency and extending cabinet life in standard industrial settings.
The part carries UL 50E Type 1 certification, indicating suitability for ordinary electrical enclosure service. It is also referenced by ETIM 9 EC000721 and ETIM 8 EC000721 as data-classification entries and aligns with ECLASS 8.0 27182003. These standards support accurate data exchange, procurement workflows, and regulatory alignment during design and sourcing.
The two-piece pack with assembly parts reduces stocking complexity and shortens assembly time, lowering labor costs during installation. Its corrosion-resistant stainless steel surface minimizes maintenance needs, while the generation-specific compatibility note prevents rework from incompatible generations. Overall, these factors contribute to lower total cost of ownership and more predictable maintenance planning.
