Electrical circuits operating in tough environments, with water jets and spray, need protection: Rittal compact enclosures with protection IP69K category are well suited for this duty

Electrical circuits operating in tough environments, such as in agriculture and earthmoving, need protection from water.

The interior seal is protected against direct hosed water, locks, hinges and mounting plate are all vibration resistant and the surface finish consists of an aluminium zinc coating, powder - coated on the outside in textured RAL 7035.

The enclosure range also includes an interior door, ideal for the installation of indicators lamps, push buttons and display devices.

The protection category IP69K (DIN 40050) has been tested under the following stringent criteria: Water pressure 100 bar, at a temperature 80C, from a distance of 100 - 150 mm for the duration of the test 4x 30 sec (0deg, 30deg, 60deg and 90deg).
