20848670

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF 20848670 is a plug-in unit kit designed for 3U rack systems with 12HP width. It features an anodized front panel and a conductive rear section, providing electromagnetic shielding capabilities. The assembly includes a static trapeziform handle without extraction function. Constructed with U-profile shielding, this component ensures structural integrity and signal protection within industrial enclosure environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic shielding through conductive rear construction
• Includes static trapeziform handle for manual operation
• Features anodized front panel for corrosion resistance

Applications

• Industrial control cabinet installations
• Telecommunications equipment racks
• Automated machinery housing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific handle configuration, as some listings indicate an extractor handle while official datasheets describe a static trapeziform handle without extraction. Confirm compatibility with 3U/12HP rack standards before procurement to ensure proper fitment in existing chassis infrastructure.

Selection Notes

Select this unit when fixed mounting with basic shielding is required rather than hot-swappable functionality. Ensure the application does not demand frequent module removal, as the static handle lacks extraction mechanisms. Verify that the 3U height and 12HP width align with the target rack system dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF plug-in unit series, which provides standardized solutions for 19-inch rack enclosures. These units typically serve as interface panels or shielded compartments for electronic modules, ensuring environmental protection and electrical continuity within larger system architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with similar 3U/12HP shielded kits from the same manufacturer. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical U-profile shielding specifications and handle types to ensure mechanical and electromagnetic compatibility.
