20848013

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF 20848013 is a U-profile front panel designed for 3U height and 14 HP width configurations. Constructed from aluminum, it features a front anodized finish and a rear conductive surface to support electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The component serves as a mounting interface for electronic equipment within rack systems, specifically engineered for use with EMC textile gaskets to ensure effective shielding in retrofit applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides a U-profile structural interface for mounting electronic modules
• Designed for integration with EMC textile gaskets to enhance shielding performance
• Features a conductive rear surface to support grounding and electromagnetic compatibility

Applications

• Retrofit shielding installations in industrial rack systems
• Mounting interfaces for electronic equipment requiring EMC compliance
• Subrack assembly components for communication or measurement hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific dimensional tolerances and hole patterns against the target chassis design before procurement. Confirm that the required EMC textile gaskets are sourced separately, as they are not included with the panel. Ensure the aluminum anodization meets the environmental corrosion resistance standards of the installation site. Cross-reference the 3U/14 HP specification with the system's mechanical constraints to guarantee proper fitment.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a shielded front panel solution is required for 3U high equipment bays. It is suitable for applications where retrofitting existing racks with improved EMC performance is necessary. Consider the conductive rear finish if direct grounding contact is needed. This component is appropriate for environments demanding robust aluminum construction with standardized U-profile mounting capabilities.
