20848590

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF part number 20848590 is a shielded front panel plug-in unit kit designed for CompactPCI and VME64x applications. It features a 3U height and 10 horizontal pitch (hp) width configuration. The unit includes handles for installation and removal within standard rack systems. This component serves as a structural interface for electronic modules, providing mechanical support and shielding in high-density computing environments.

Feature Summary

• Shielded front panel construction for electromagnetic interference protection
• Compatible with CompactPCI and VME64x system architectures
• Integrated handles facilitate secure plug-in unit handling

Applications

• CompactPCI backplane module mounting
• VME64x system integration
• Industrial computing chassis assembly

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific application requirements against the 3U x 10hp dimensions before procurement. Confirm compatibility with existing backplane standards and chassis frames. Ensure that the shielded design meets the necessary environmental protection specifications for the intended deployment location. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar non-shielded or differently sized variants.

Selection Notes

Select this unit when a shielded interface is required for 3U CompactPCI or VME64x modules. The 10hp width accommodates larger board formats. Consider the integrated handles for ease of maintenance in confined rack spaces. Ensure the surrounding chassis supports the specified form factor and shielding requirements for optimal performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent SCHROFF line of rack accessories and front assemblies. It is specifically engineered for modular electronic systems requiring robust mechanical interfaces. The product series includes various heights and widths to suit different module densities. As a front panel kit, it complements the broader ecosystem of rack-mounted computing hardware.

Replacement Considerations

Part number 20848589 is a related front assembly with 8hp width. Verify dimensional compatibility if substituting. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in public documentation. Ensure the replacement maintains the 3U height and shielding characteristics required by the system design.
