20846454

Overview

The Schroff 20846454 is a front panel designed for 19-inch rack equipment, adhering to the 6U height and 63 HP (Horizontal Pitch) form factor. Constructed from aluminum with a thickness of 2.5 mm, it features an anodized front surface and a passivated rear side. The component includes mounting pins to facilitate secure installation within chassis systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides EMC shielding capabilities for rack-mounted applications
• Features an anodized front surface for corrosion resistance
• Includes integrated mounting pins for structural stability

Applications

• EMC shielding in electronic rack enclosures
• Front access panels for modular chassis systems
• Industrial control cabinet front interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin configuration and hole pattern compatibility with existing chassis frames before procurement. Confirm that the 6U height and 63 HP width align with the intended enclosure dimensions. Ensure the aluminum material specification meets environmental requirements for the deployment location.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, shielded front interface is required for 6U high equipment. The 2.5 mm aluminum construction offers durability compared to thinner alternatives. Consider the anodized finish for environments requiring enhanced surface protection against oxidation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF Refrofit Shielding series, which focuses on providing electromagnetic compatibility solutions for standard rack systems. It serves as a critical interface component for maintaining signal integrity and physical protection in dense electronic installations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 6U height, 63 HP width, and 2.5 mm aluminum thickness. Verify pin placement and EMC grounding continuity. Generic front panels may lack the specific shielding properties or mounting precision required for this application.
