20848720

Overview

The Schroff 20848720 is a slot cover and front panel assembly designed for 19-inch electronic enclosures. It features a 6U height and 4HP width configuration with a 160mm depth. Constructed from steel, the unit includes an integrated front panel and is equipped with an EMC stainless steel gasket to ensure effective shielding. This component serves as a refit shield for unused rack slots.

Feature Summary

• Provides electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding via integrated stainless steel gasket
• Constructed from durable steel material for structural integrity
• Designed specifically for refit shielding applications in standard 19-inch racks

Applications

• Shielding unused slots in 19-inch electronics cabinets
• Environmental protection for partially automated test systems
• Rack safety and organization in industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required depth matches the 160mm specification of part 20848720. Confirm compatibility with the specific enclosure series intended for installation. Ensure the stainless steel gasket requirement aligns with the project's EMC standards. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 6U by 4HP footprint is required for slot coverage. The steel construction offers robust physical protection compared to lighter materials. The inclusion of the gasket makes it suitable for environments requiring enhanced interference mitigation without additional aftermarket modifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent SCHROFF accessory portfolio, which specializes in PCB accessories and rack solutions. It complements other front panels and card retainers within the same ecosystem, ensuring standardized dimensions and mounting interfaces across the manufacturer's 19-inch enclosure range.

Replacement Considerations

Part 20848721 is a documented alternative offering similar 6U 4HP dimensions but with a 220mm depth. Verify that the increased depth does not interfere with rear cable management or enclosure constraints before substitution.
