20849155

Overview

The nVent SCHROFF part number 20849155 is a specialized Advanced MC Module Mechanism designed for use in MicroTCA systems. This component functions as an extractor handle, specifically configured as a double mid-size unit. It serves as the complete mechanism for a pull-handle, engineered to activate a microswitch through hot-swap operations. The assembly includes an integrated light guide (light pipe) to indicate module status or presence within the rack infrastructure.

Feature Summary

• Designed as a complete extraction mechanism for activating microswitches during hot-swap procedures
• Integrates a light guide component for visual indication within the module interface
• Configured as a double mid-size extractor handle compatible with specific rack architectures

Applications

• MicroTCA system module installation and removal
• Hot-swap activation mechanisms in telecommunications racks
• AdvancedMC module interface assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application utilizes nVent SCHROFF AdvancedMC modules, as this mechanism is explicitly specified for that ecosystem. Confirm the requirement for a double mid-size extractor configuration to ensure mechanical compatibility with the chassis slots. Ensure the system design accounts for the integrated light guide functionality if status indication is required. Cross-reference the full part number 20849-155 against current nVent documentation to confirm no recent specification changes affect the microswitch activation parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component only when integrating with nVent SCHROFF AdvancedMC modules requiring a dedicated hot-swap actuation mechanism. The double mid-size form factor dictates the physical space requirements within the front panel assembly. Consider the inclusion of the light guide if optical status feedback is necessary for the specific deployment environment. This part is not a generic handle but a functional switch-actuating mechanism.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent SCHROFF Front Panel Component Systems portfolio, specifically categorized under Rack Accessories. It is part of the specialized interface solutions designed for high-density computing and telecommunications equipment. The product line focuses on robust mechanical interfaces for modular systems like MicroTCA, ensuring reliable insertion and extraction cycles while maintaining electrical contact integrity through precise switch actuation.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As this is a specialized mechanism for the AdvancedMC ecosystem, direct replacements may require validation of mechanical dimensions and switch actuation profiles against the original nVent SCHROFF specifications.
