20848696

Overview

The Schroff 20848696 is a shielded bottom hinged front panel designed for 19-inch subracks and modular electronic systems. It features a 6U height profile and supports 28HP (Half-Height) plug-in units. The component is constructed to provide electromagnetic shielding for internal modules, ensuring signal integrity in industrial and measurement applications. It serves as a protective enclosure interface for rack-mounted equipment.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic shielding for mounted plug-in units
• Features a bottom-hinged design for access
• Compatible with 19-inch subrack mounting standards

Applications

• Industrial control system enclosures
• Measurement technology instrumentation racks
• Modular electronic system integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific HP configuration and shielding requirements against the target subrack model before procurement. Confirm that the bottom-hinged orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly constraints of the intended chassis. Ensure compatibility with the specific plug-in unit form factors planned for installation within the 28HP space.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded, hinged solution is required for 6U slots in 19-inch racks. Compare against fixed front panels if frequent module access is not needed. Consider the material specifications for environmental resistance if the deployment area involves harsh conditions or specific regulatory compliance needs beyond standard industrial use.
