Rittal 180° Hinge for AE Enclosures, Die-Cast Zinc

The Rittal 180° Hinge (2449000) extends the door opening angle on compatible enclosures to a full 180°, giving technicians and installers wider, unobstructed access to panel interiors during installation, wiring, and ongoing maintenance work. Constructed from durable die-cast zinc, this hinge is designed for use with a standard door variant on Rittal AE enclosures and ships as a 2 pc(s) packaging unit that includes the assembly components needed for a complete installation. Because it is a mechanical add-on that changes how far the door travels, installers should note that the enclosure's protection category can be reduced once the hinge is fitted, so confirm the required ingress protection rating before specifying this hinge for a given application.

Key Features

  • Door Opening Angle: 180° opening angle allows the enclosure door to swing much further open than a standard hinge permits, improving line-of-sight and physical access to components mounted inside.
  • Durable Construction: Die-cast zinc material provides a strong, corrosion-resistant hinge body built to withstand repeated door cycling in industrial environments.
  • Door Variant Compatibility: Suitable for door variant: Standard door, matching common Rittal enclosure door configurations.
  • Enclosure Compatibility: Suitable for enclosure type: AE, Rittal's widely used compact and modular enclosure platform.
  • Bayed Suite Consistency: Door stop remains consistent within a bayed enclosure suite, keeping door alignment uniform when multiple enclosures are joined side by side.
  • Installation Note: The protection category of the enclosure can be reduced once this hinge is installed, so verify enclosure IP rating requirements before use in the intended environment.
  • Supply Includes: Assembly components needed for installation, supplied as a 2 pc(s) packaging unit.

Rittal 2449000 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Rittal 2449000 hinge fit my AE enclosure?
The 2449000 hinge is made for Rittal AE enclosures fitted with the standard door variant. If your cabinet is a different Rittal platform, or the door is anything other than the standard door, this hinge is not the right part for it.
2) Does adding a 180 degree hinge affect the enclosure's IP rating?
It can. Rittal states that the protection category of the enclosure can be reduced once the 2449000 hinge is fitted. If the cabinet has to hold a specific ingress protection rating in a washdown, dusty, or outdoor location, settle that requirement before you commit to this hinge.
3) How many hinges come in a Rittal 2449000 pack, and do I get the mounting hardware?
It ships as a 2 piece packaging unit and includes the assembly components needed for installation. One door normally takes a pair, so a single pack covers one standard AE door. Count your doors before ordering if you are retrofitting a bayed run.
4) Can I use a 180 degree hinge on enclosures bayed side by side?
Yes. With the 2449000 the door stop stays consistent within a bayed enclosure suite, so doors across joined AE cabinets keep the same alignment and travel instead of one door swinging differently from the rest.
5) Why choose a 180 degree hinge over the standard AE enclosure hinge?
A standard hinge limits how far the door clears the opening. The 2449000 takes the door to a full 180 degrees, which matters when a technician needs the door flat against the cabinet face to reach terminals at the hinge edge or to pull wire through a tight equipment room. The trade off is the possible reduction in the enclosure's protection category, so indoor control and panelboard work is where it makes the most sense.
6) Can I retrofit 180 degree hinges onto AE enclosures already installed?
Yes, the 2449000 is a mechanical add-on intended for AE enclosure door retrofits as well as new builds, and it comes with the assembly parts. Just remember the swap can lower the cabinet's protection category, so it is a better candidate for interior control cabinets than for sealed outdoor cabinets.
7) What is the Rittal 180 degree hinge made of, and will it hold up in an industrial plant?
Die-cast zinc. That gives a corrosion-resistant hinge body built for repeated door cycling, which is what you want on a cabinet that gets opened daily for service rather than once a year.
