20848636

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF 20848-636 is a rear panel designed for 19-inch rack systems, specifically compatible with RatiopacPRO and PropacPRO enclosures. Constructed from aluminum, this component measures 426.4 mm in width and 128.4 mm in height, corresponding to a 3U rack unit configuration. It features an 84 HP horizontal pitch and includes ventilation capabilities to support thermal management within the enclosure. The panel serves as a structural backplane element, providing mounting surfaces and airflow pathways for integrated electronic modules.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from aluminum material for durability and heat dissipation
• Designed with ventilation perforations to facilitate airflow
• Compatible with RatiopacPRO and PropacPRO desktop case series

Applications

• Rear mounting for RatiopacPRO desktop enclosures
• Rear mounting for PropacPRO desktop enclosures
• 19-inch rack system backplane integration

Procurement Notes

Verify compatibility with specific RatiopacPRO or PropacPRO chassis models before procurement. Confirm that the 3U height and 84 HP width align with existing rack infrastructure requirements. Ensure the aluminum finish meets environmental specifications for the intended installation location. Cross-reference part numbers to distinguish between solid and ventilated variants if shielding requirements differ.

Selection Notes

Select this model when retrofitting rear panels for Schroff desktop cases requiring ventilation. The 84 HP width accommodates standard 19-inch module layouts within the specified chassis depth. Consider the aluminum construction for applications needing passive thermal conduction. Verify that the 3U form factor matches the available vertical space in the target enclosure assembly.

Part Context

This rear panel belongs to the nVent SCHROFF accessory line for industrial enclosures. It functions as a modular component for the RatiopacPRO and PropacPRO product families. The design supports standardized 19-inch mounting practices while providing specialized ventilation for internal components. It is distinct from solid backplates due to its perforated structure.

Replacement Considerations

No direct substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed for this specific ventilated rear panel variant. Users should verify dimensional compatibility with alternative manufacturers' panels if sourcing replacements. Ensure any substitute maintains the 3U height and 84 HP width constraints.
