20846433

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF part number 20846433 is a shieldable front panel constructed from aluminum. It features a front surface that is anodized and a rear side that is conductive to support electromagnetic interference shielding requirements. The component measures 70.8 mm in width and 128.4 mm in height, corresponding to a 3 U form factor with 14 HP of horizontal pitch. This design allows for integration into subracks, cases, and rack systems where structural front coverage and electrical continuity are necessary.

Feature Summary

• Shieldable construction with conductive rear side for EMI management
• Anodized front finish for corrosion resistance and aesthetic consistency
• Aluminum material composition providing lightweight structural rigidity

Applications

• Fitting in subracks
• Installation in electronic cases
• Rack system front panel coverage

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure the correct surface treatment and dimensional tolerances match your enclosure requirements. Confirm that the 3 U/14 HP footprint aligns with your subrack standard before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded front plate is required for a 3 U slot within a Schroff-compatible rack or case system. Ensure the application demands a conductive rear surface for grounding purposes and that the aluminum material meets the environmental conditions of the installation site.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF front panel series designed for modular enclosure systems. These panels serve as blanking plates or functional interfaces for equipment mounted in standard subracks, providing both mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference dimensions strictly. Verify compatibility with the specific subrack profile (e.g., Eurocard or proprietary) to ensure proper mounting hole alignment and depth clearance.
