Rittal 2449000 180° Hinge for AE Enclosures, Die-Cast Zinc

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.
