Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a 9HP height handle to ensure mechanical compatibility with the target VME backplane and chassis dimensions. Confirm that the grey plastic variant meets the environmental requirements of the installation site, as this model is not RoHS compliant. Cross-reference the part number 20808063 against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm availability and any recent material change notices.

Selection Notes

Select this handle when a fixed, non-extraction style grip is required for 9HP VME modules. Ensure the chassis design accommodates the trapeziform profile without interference from adjacent slots. Compare against other HP heights if module density varies across the rack. Verify that the plastic material properties are suitable for the expected frequency of manual operation.
