24560179

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF part number 24560179 is a rack mounting screw designed for use with EuropacPRO enclosures and accessories. It features an M2.5 thread size with a pitch of 0.45mm. The component is constructed from steel with a zinc finish to provide corrosion resistance. Key dimensional specifications include a length of 10mm or 12.3mm depending on the specific variant documentation, and it utilizes a Torx drive interface for secure fastening. The product complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a Torx drive head for reliable torque application
• Constructed from steel with a protective zinc coating
• Designed specifically for EuropacPRO series rack mounting applications

Applications

• Mounting rack accessories in 19-inch enclosure systems
• Securing components within EuropacPRO series frames
• General rack hardware assembly requiring M2.5 fasteners

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact length specification (10mm vs 12.3mm) against your mechanical drawing, as sources vary between M2.5x10 and M2.5x12.3 descriptions. Confirm the drive type matches your tooling; while primarily identified as Torx, some references mention Pozidrive/slotted variants for similar part numbers. Ensure RoHS compliance is required for your project specifications before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when M2.5 threaded holes are present in EuropacPRO compatible equipment. Choose based on the required grip length for your specific assembly thickness. Verify that the zinc-plated steel material meets your environmental exposure requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard 19-inch rack mounting patterns.

Part Context

This item belongs to the nVent SCHROFF range of rack accessories, specifically supporting the EuropacPRO series. These screws are essential hardware for assembling modular rack systems, ensuring secure attachment of panels and brackets. The product line focuses on standardized mounting solutions for industrial electronics enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Standard M2.5 Torx pan-head screws may serve as functional substitutes if dimensions match. Verify thread pitch and head height compatibility. Zinc-plated steel is the common alternative material. Cross-reference with other Schroff accessory catalogs for equivalent mounting hardware.
