20860605

Overview

The Schroff 20860-605 is a 19-inch rack-mount chassis belonging to the Multipac Pro series. It features an aluminum construction with a height of 2U and a depth of 280mm. The unit provides approximately 84 HP for plug-in modules and includes a plain top cover and base plate. It offers EMC shielding of approximately 30dB at 1GHz without additional filters. The enclosure meets IP20 protection standards and allows for easy machining via detachable front and rear panels.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from aluminum for durable rack mounting applications
• Features detachable front and rear panels to facilitate custom machining
• Provides integrated EMC shielding performance in standard configuration

Applications

• Rack-mounted electronic equipment enclosures
• Industrial control system housing
• Telecommunications infrastructure chassis

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required depth matches the 280mm specification, as this model is distinct from deeper variants in the same series. Confirm that the 2U height aligns with available rack space. Ensure that the standard EMC shielding level is sufficient for the specific electromagnetic environment, as no additional filtering components are included in this basic chassis configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 2U footprint is required for 19-inch racks. It is suitable for applications where moderate EMC shielding is adequate and custom panel modifications are necessary. Consider deeper models if longer plug-in units are used. Verify compatibility with specific VME or other plug-in module formats supported by the 84 HP width.

Part Context

This component is part of the nVent SCHROFF Multipac Pro series, designed for modular rack systems. It serves as a complete enclosure solution rather than a subrack alone. The series is widely used in industrial and telecommunications sectors for housing sensitive electronic components within standardized rack environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Schroff 20860 series chassis with identical 2U height and 280mm depth. Verify that alternative models maintain the same 84 HP width and aluminum material composition to ensure mechanical fit.
