Procurement Notes

Verify that the target equipment utilizes Schroff Frame Type Plug-In Units with guide rails, as this fastener is specific to that architecture. Confirm the requirement for M2 thread compatibility before procurement. Ensure the application involves rear panel attachment rather than front or side mounting. Cross-reference the part number 24812402 with official nVent SCHROFF documentation to confirm current availability and technical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when working with Schroff frame type plug-in units that explicitly support guide rail integration. The M2 thread size is fixed; ensure existing holes or tapped inserts match this specification. Consider the quantity per package (50 units) when planning assembly volumes. This part is strictly a mechanical fastener and does not provide electrical connectivity or environmental sealing functions beyond basic mechanical retention.

Part Context

This item is part of the broader 24812 Series hardware kits offered by nVent SCHROFF. These kits are engineered to complement the company's range of frame-type plug-in units. The series provides standardized mounting solutions for industrial electronics. The 24812402 variant focuses specifically on rear panel fastening, distinguishing it from other accessories like torx panhead screws or general case components found in related catalogs.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for this specific rear panel fastener. Due to the proprietary nature of the Schroff frame interface and guide rail system, generic M2 screws may not provide the correct length, head profile, or material properties required for proper fitment. Consult official nVent SCHROFF documentation for any approved alternative components.
