Mounting Plates

A mounting plate is a sheet metal or plastic base plate screwed onto the base of a panel or junction box housing, onto which devices such as rails, terminal blocks and contactors are attached. It is used to fix devices without drilling the housing and to prepare the wiring on the bench and fit the plate into the panel afterwards. This category includes Çetinkaya Pano's plates in 1 mm galvanized sheet steel in sizes such as 190x145, 250x200, 310x230 and 400x300 mm, and the sheet metal and plastic plates TP Elektrik makes for its 210x280, 250x360 and 300x540 junction boxes. Choose the plate first by the brand, series and internal size of the panel or junction box it will be fitted to, then by its material and the weight of the devices it will carry. A mounting plate is not a DIN rail; the rail carries modular devices, while the plate is the base to which the rail and the screw-mounted devices are fixed.
