Rittal 9409600 Ex enclosure - IEC EX/PTB & ATEX

Ex enclosure design meets hazardous-location requirements while offering compact WHD dimensions. The KEL Ex enclosure measures 300x380x210 mm and ships with a mounting plate sized 275x334 mm, enabling rapid alignment with standard control panels and simplifying cable routing. Made from stainless steel 1.4301, the enclosure and door deliver excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in wash-down or dusty environments. The all-round foamed-in silicone seal enhances ingress protection and maintains performance across temperature variations. Protection and certifications translate into real-world reliability: IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, UL 50E Type 1 rating, and approvals for hazardous locations per IEC EX PTB 09.0035U and ATEX 1082U. This combination reduces risk of equipment failure, supports regulatory compliance, and streamlines supplier audits. Includes a cam-style lock with a 3 mm double-bit insert and one locking point for secure access, while the mounting plate aids fast installation and serviceability. At 8.1 kg per pack, it provides a sturdy enclosure that resists movement on wall or panel mounts in vibration-heavy environments. Installation-friendly features extend resilience: compatibility with common enclosure accessories, easy door operation, and reliable gasket sealing that keeps dust and moisture out. These attributes translate to faster commissioning, fewer field adjustments, and lower total cost of ownership across the equipment lifecycle. Industry context: process plants, energy, and manufacturing lines in harsh conditions rely on robust Ex enclosures as the foundation for switchgear, control circuits, and instrumentation.
