Enclosure Backplates & Panels

Enclosure backplates and panels provide a secure, organized mounting surface for electrical and control components inside industrial enclosures. These panels are typically offset from the enclosure wall, allowing devices to be mounted without compromising the enclosure’s structural integrity or NEMA rating. Many backplates are designed with pre-drilled or pre-punched mounting patterns that align with enclosure frames, simplifying installation and ensuring proper fit.

Interior panels and subpanels are commonly removable, allowing technicians to assemble, modify, or service electrical components outside the enclosure before installation. This modular approach improves workflow efficiency and reduces downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Enclosure backplates and panels are available in a wide range of materials, including painted steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass, wood, and composite materials to match application requirements and environmental conditions.

Gland plates are specialized enclosure panels equipped with gaskets to allow cable entry and exit while maintaining the enclosure’s environmental rating. They are often easier to drill or punch than enclosure walls and can help preserve NEMA ratings when modifications are required. Gland plates may also be used to cover unused cutouts from removed accessories or to adapt enclosures to new external equipment with different mounting footprints.
