20848139

Overview

The Schroff 20848139 is a front panel designed for 19-inch subrack systems, specifically conforming to the EuropacPro standard. It features a 6U height and 42HP horizontal pitch configuration. Constructed from aluminum, the unit offers a front anodized finish with a conductive rear surface to support shielding requirements. The design incorporates a U-profile structure intended for retrofitting shielding applications, ensuring compatibility with standard rack mounting hardware.

Feature Summary

• Provides structural enclosure for 19-inch subrack installations
• Supports electromagnetic interference shielding via conductive rear surface
• Designed for retrofitting textile shielding materials

Applications

• Electronic equipment housing in rack-mounted systems
• Shielded enclosure fronts for industrial control panels
• Retrofit shielding solutions for existing subracks

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required material thickness and finish specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target subrack series, such as EuropacPro, before procurement. Ensure the 6U by 42HP dimensions align with the planned module layout. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding the conductive rear coating during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded front interface is required for a 6U high application space. The 42HP width accommodates a broad range of standard plug-in units. Consider the U-profile design if retrofitting shielding is necessary rather than integral panel shielding. Verify that the aluminum construction meets the environmental corrosion resistance needs of the deployment site.
