It is engineered to integrate with the VSTAR modular rack system, ensuring structural compatibility while enhancing the durability of the installation in demanding industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides IP55 ingress protection rating for base plate applications
• Designed specifically for integration with the VSTAR series rack systems
• Enhances environmental sealing for electronic enclosures

Applications

• Industrial control cabinet installations requiring dust and water resistance
• VSTAR series rack base plate assembly
• Electronic equipment housing in harsh operational environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific VSTAR model compatibility before procurement, as this kit is designated for base plates within that specific product line. Confirm that the required ingress protection level (IP55) aligns with the environmental conditions of the intended deployment site. Ensure all necessary mounting hardware is included or sourced separately according to the official installation guidelines provided by nVent SCHROFF.

Selection Notes

Select this component when the application demands a sealed base plate solution for VSTAR racks. The IP55 rating indicates suitability for areas with limited dust exposure and potential water spray, distinguishing it from higher or lower rated alternatives. Consider the mechanical load requirements and spatial constraints of the VSTAR chassis to ensure the kit fits without modification.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF portfolio, a provider of electronics packaging solutions including cabinets, subracks, and accessories. The VSTAR series represents a modular approach to rack design, allowing for scalable configurations. As an accessory, part 23130073 complements the core structural elements by adding protective functionality rather than serving as a primary enclosure unit.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing VSTAR infrastructure before attempting to use alternative kits from other manufacturers.
