20846451

Overview

The Schroff 20846-451 is a front panel designed for rack mounting systems, featuring a height of 6 HE (High Units) and a width of 21 HP (Hole Pitch). Constructed from aluminum with an anodized finish, the panel measures approximately 106.3 mm in length and 261.8 mm in width. It includes untreated edges and is engineered to accommodate stainless steel EMC gaskets for enhanced shielding performance.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from anodized aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance
• Designed specifically for integration with stainless steel EMC gaskets
• Features untreated edges to facilitate secure mechanical assembly

Applications

• Rack-mounted electronic equipment enclosures
• Shielded cabinet front panels requiring EMI protection
• Industrial control system housing components

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required EMC gasket material matches the panel's design specifications for stainless steel compatibility. Confirm dimensional requirements against the 6 HE by 21 HP standard before procurement. Ensure surface finish requirements align with the provided anodized aluminum specification to maintain environmental resistance standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rigid, shielded front interface is needed for standard rack applications. The specific 6 HE height and 21 HP width dimensions dictate its compatibility with corresponding rear chassis or backplane structures. Consider the untreated edge configuration for custom mounting solutions rather than pre-finished alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF line of electronics packaging accessories. It serves as a structural and protective element within larger enclosure assemblies, complementing other rack components such as subracks and power supplies. The product focuses on providing standardized physical interfaces for modular electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for this specific model. Verify exact dimensional and material compatibility if considering alternative manufacturers for similar rack front panel applications.
