Abstract
An insert is for the structural assembly of an electrical enclosure. The structural assembly includes a channel member having a generally flat portion with an aperture and a retaining mechanism, a side sheet coupled to the channel member, and a fastener coupling the channel member to the side sheet. The insert includes a first end portion inserted into the aperture and abutting the side sheet, a second end portion distal from the first end portion, a shoulder portion proximate the second end portion and being engaged by the retaining mechanism, and a tapered portion between the first end portion and the shoulder portion. An axial opening extends through the first end portion, the tapered portion, and the second end portion in order to receive the fastener. Tabs and corresponding notches facilitate proper assembly of the electrical enclosure and the fastener secures the electrical enclosure, once assembled.
