20848599

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF part number 20848599 is a shielded front panel kit designed for industrial enclosure applications. It features a 3U height profile and supports 42 HP (Half-Plate) width configurations. The unit is constructed from aluminum with a front anodized finish and a rear conductive surface to ensure effective electromagnetic interference shielding. This component includes a bottom-hinged mechanism for secure access and integration within rack-mounted systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic shielding through a conductive rear surface and anodized aluminum construction
• Features a bottom-hinged design for secure and accessible panel operation
• Engineered for 3U height and 42 HP width compatibility in standard rack environments

Applications

• CompactPCI system enclosures
• NE64X application frameworks
• Industrial electronic housing assemblies requiring EMI protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hinge configuration and shielding requirements against your enclosure design before ordering. Confirm that the 3U height and 42 HP dimensions align with your chassis specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing inserters or extractors if used in plug-in unit kits. Check current availability as lead times may vary by distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a shielded, hinged front solution is required for 3U applications. The conductive rear surface is critical for grounding and EMI mitigation in sensitive electronic environments. Compare against non-shielded alternatives if electromagnetic protection is not necessary for your specific use case.
