Panel Hardware
Panel hardware plays a critical role in the installation, organization, and long-term reliability of industrial and commercial electrical enclosures. RSP Supply offers a comprehensive selection of panel hardware components designed to support secure mounting, structured cable routing, and efficient use of space within control panels and enclosures. These solutions are commonly used in automation systems, machinery panels, and electrical distribution applications.
DIN rails are standardized metal mounting rails installed inside enclosures to securely attach electrical and industrial components such as terminal blocks, circuit breakers, power supplies, and relays. Manufactured to universal industry standards, DIN rails allow compatible components to snap or slide into place, simplifying installation and enabling flexible panel layouts without the need for individual mounting hardware.
Additional panel hardware options include strut channel systems and wire duct. Strut channels, often referred to as Unistrut, provide a rigid, pre-drilled framework for supporting panel boxes, conduits, and cables. Wire ducts are rigid cable management channels with slotted sides that allow wires to be routed, separated, and modified as system requirements change. Together, these components help maintain organized wiring, reduce installation time, and support safe, professional panel construction.
FAQs
Q: What is panel hardware used for?
Panel hardware is used to mount electrical components, organize wiring, and support structural elements inside industrial and commercial control panels and enclosures.
Q: What is DIN rail used for in control panels?
DIN rail is used to mount electrical components such as terminal blocks, relays, circuit breakers, and power supplies. Components designed for DIN rail can snap directly onto the rail for fast installation and easy reconfiguration.
Q: What types of components can be mounted on DIN rail?
Common DIN rail-mounted components include terminal blocks, contactors, relays, power supplies, circuit breakers, and signal conditioners, provided they have DIN rail-compatible mounting clips.
Q: What is wire duct, and why is it used?
Wire duct is a rigid cable management channel used to organize and protect wires inside control panels. Slotted sides allow cables to be added or rerouted while maintaining a clean and orderly layout.
Q: What is strut channel used for in electrical applications?
Strut channel provides a strong, modular framework for mounting enclosures, supporting conduits, and routing cables. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial installations where structural flexibility is required.
