20846445

Overview

The Schroff 20846445 is a shieldable aluminum front panel designed for rack mounting systems. It features a width of 6 HP and a height of 6 U, with a thickness of 2.5 mm. The component is constructed from anodized aluminum with untreated edges, providing a durable surface suitable for industrial environments. It is specifically engineered to accommodate stainless steel EMC gaskets, ensuring effective electromagnetic compatibility shielding when integrated into enclosure assemblies.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from anodized aluminum with a 2.5 mm thickness for structural integrity
• Designed to accept stainless steel EMC gaskets for enhanced shielding performance
• Features untreated edges to facilitate secure integration within rack systems

Applications

• Rack-mounted electronic equipment enclosures requiring EMC shielding
• Industrial control panels needing robust front access protection
• Telecommunications infrastructure housing units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional requirements against your rack system before procurement. Confirm that the 6 HP by 6 U size matches your chassis aperture. Ensure compatibility with stainless steel EMC gaskets if shielding is required. Check edge treatment specifications to confirm suitability for your assembly process. Validate material anodization standards against environmental exposure needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a shieldable front panel is required for 19-inch or similar standard rack formats. The 6 HP width and 6 U height define the available space for internal components. Consider the aluminum construction for lightweight durability. Evaluate the need for EMC gasket integration to determine if this shieldable variant is necessary over non-shielded alternatives.
