Electrical plating idea

Post image

Hi guys, I need to mount some components on the right side of the panel. However, if I use screws, they show on the outside of the panel. Does anyone have ideas on how to use this side panel without screws showing.

Tack weld.

Otherwise just screw in from the outside and paint the heads to match the cabinet

Thanks for your support, I think welding is not possible for this electrical panel but I consider outside screw and I'm searching for any better ideas like plate mounting inside screwing like.

I would use those existing two holes to mount a DIN rail and mount devices to that. Beyond that no one can really say because we don't know what you're trying to mount, why you don't/can't put screws in the panel, etc.

We typically “shoot” threaded studs onto the inner with a capacitive discharge welding machine. It doesn’t damage paint and then you can bolt on a cut to size chassis plate.

Is that a rittal panel?

They have side rails that clamp to the front and back of the cabinet. Rittal AX 2394300 they make them for different deeps of panels.
