Quick Summary

Rittal TS 8800.340 captive nut enables front-insertion mounting for M6 threads in enclosures. When space is tight or access to mounting points is limited, traditional fasteners slow assembly and risk misalignment. ETIM 9 EC002358 and ECLASS 8.0 23110815 classifications support consistent procurement data and regulatory alignment. The design supports vertical TS and VX enclosure sections via adaptor rails for VX compatibility, and the spring cage ensures reliable electrical contact in system punchings. Using this captive nut streamlines maintenance and reduces tool time, delivering tangible cost savings while ensuring secure, repeatable mounting for 12.5 x 10.5 mm system punchings in industrial enclosures.

8800340 Rittal: TS Captive nut, for thread M6, for insertion from the front
Article number
TS 8800.340
Product description
The nuts are inserted from the same side as screw-fastening takes place. Consequently, attachment points in the same height or width may also be used around corners. The spring cage also ensures electrical connection in the system punchings.
Installation options
On the vertical TS, VX SE enclosure section via adaptor rails for VX compatibility

Product description
TS Captive nut, for thread M6, for insertion from the front
Feature: Front-insertion design allows nuts to be inserted from the same side as screw fastening, enabling quicker setup and easier access in cramped panels. Business Impact: Reduces assembly time and minimizes handling errors, improving throughput on assembly lines. Application: Enclosures with rectangular system punching 12.5 x 10.5 mm in which space is at a premium. Feature: M6 thread specification ensures compatibility with common enclosure hardware and standardized fasteners, reducing part variety. Business Impact: Simplifies purchasing, lowers inventory complexity, and speeds maintenance with a single, reliable thread standard. Application: All TS and VX mounting scenarios where M6 is required. Feature: Spring cage design provides reliable electrical contact within the punched system, preventing loose connections. Business Impact: Enhances electrical integrity and vibration resistance, lowering rework risk. Application: Routine enclosure installations in control panels and rail-mounted assemblies. Feature: Compatibility with vertical TS and VX SE sections via adaptor rails for VX interoperability. Business Impact: Expands installer options, enabling quick upgrades or retrofits without new hardware. Application: Projects involving VX compatibility and modular enclosure layouts. Feature: Packaging and logistics data—packs of 50 pc(s) at 0.15 kg per pack—facilitates stocking and cost control. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement planning and reduces carrying costs. Application: Large-scale installations and recurring maintenance programs. Feature: Clear product description and classifications ETIM EC002358 and ECLASS 23110815 support accurate data exchange with ERP and procurement systems. Business Impact: Improves data quality, reduces miscommunication, and accelerates sourcing. Application: Enterprise-wide BOM management and supplier data alignment.
