Rittal VX 8660.072 Base/Plinth Trim Panel - UL 50E Type 1

Stainless steel 1.4301 construction with a brushed grain 400 finish provides robust corrosion resistance and a professional look. This endurance reduces maintenance cycles and replacement costs in harsh industrial environments. Use this trim panel on VX, VX SE, TS, and PC enclosures to protect edges while preserving a clean, uniform presentation around the base. Dimensionally targeted: Height 100 mm and depth 600 mm match standard base/plinth footprints, ensuring a precise, repeatable fit at scale. The design integrates with the included assembly parts, enabling quick mounting with modest torque and fewer on-site adjustments. This consistency reduces installation time on assembly lines and in multiline control cabinets, improving throughput while preserving enclosure integrity and airflow clearance. Includes assembly parts and ships in two-piece packs. This packaging reduces the risk of missing hardware and simplifies stocking in distribution centers. For large cabinet projects, the two-unit packs support simultaneous installation across multiple bays, accelerating commissioning and minimizing downtime. The service-friendly design also facilitates field maintenance, as replacement trim can be swapped without dismantling larger sections. Gen compatibility: Components from the 1st generation base/plinth system cannot be mixed with 2nd generation parts, which ensures consistent electrical and mechanical interfaces across a project. Clear compatibility rules reduce change orders, prevent fit issues during retrofits, and protect warranty coverage. When sizing and planning, engineers can rely on uniform dimensioning and fastening patterns across VX-based installations. Compliance and cataloging: EAN 4028177037830, ETIM EC000721, and ECLASS 27182003 support precise procurement and ERP integration, improving data quality in purchasing workflows. The UL 50E Type 1 rating confirms suitability for safety-critical enclosure applications, which eases regulatory reviews and client audits. This panel thus contributes to safer, more auditable industrial automation projects while maintaining consistent aesthetics.
