Mounting plates

At the Onninen electrical wholesaler, we have prepared a wide range of products for professionals and home DIY enthusiasts who want to build or expand switchboards on their own. You will find everything you need to make a complete electrical box: from doors and walls, through mounting plates, to plinths and mounting rails. In this category, you can buy a mounting plate, which is one of the basic mounting elements of a switchboard.

Electrical switchboard – the basic element of the electrical installation

The switchboard is a key element of any electrical or multimedia installation. It is in the switchboard that all the equipment used to connect, break and separate electrical circuits and their combinations is located. The switchboard provides a safe, comfortable and aesthetic environment for the assembly of components. There are different types of switchboards. Due to their construction, we can distinguish between panel switchboards used mainly in homes and small commercial premises, box switchboards supporting much higher currents and cabinet switchboards for currents of up to several thousand amps.

Mounting plate - essential mounting element for switchboards

Properly matched, high-quality assembly elements determine the durability and reliability of the switchboard. One of these elements is the mounting plate, which facilitates and speeds up installation work. It allows for simple and convenient assembly of devices, equipment and accessories. Sometimes it is included in the set with the purchased switchboard or housing. If it is not included in the set, it can be easily purchased separately or ordered from the same manufacturer - similarly to, for example, a terminal strip, foundation filler or a lock in the handle. The plate can be mounted using metal angle brackets (switchboards can be equipped with them as standard).

The most important parameters of mounting plates for switchboards

When purchasing a mounting plate, you should pay attention to such parameters and product features as:

• width, height and depth,
• depth, width and mounting height in the cabinet,
• the material of manufacture (most often it will be steel),
• surface protection (e.g. galvanizing),
• presence of perforation,
• purpose – installation inside or outside buildings. When making a switchboard from scratch, it is worth using assembly elements from one manufacturer. This ensures their perfect fit. Manufacturers usually include information about compatibility in the descriptions.
