24571284

Overview

The Schroff 24571284 is a Ratiopac PRO AIR desktop enclosure designed for modular electronics integration. It features a 6/7U height profile and supports an 84HP (Horizontal Unit) mounting grid, providing substantial internal volume for component assembly. The unit measures 495mm in depth, offering extended space for deep modules or cable management compared to standard depths. Constructed with a natural finish, it includes 19-inch mounting brackets for secure rack installation. The chassis allows for the modification of shielding functions and can be fitted with front panels, enabling customized environmental protection and aesthetic integration within professional test and measurement setups.

Feature Summary

• Modifiable shielding capabilities for enhanced electromagnetic compatibility requirements
• Compatible with standard 19-inch mounting systems via included brackets
• Supports front panel customization for specific interface needs
• Designed as a desktop case for flexible laboratory or benchtop use

Applications

• Benchtop electronic test equipment housing
• Modular instrumentation chassis assembly
• Laboratory prototype development enclosures
• Custom shielded device integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact dimensional tolerances and mounting hole patterns against your specific module requirements before procurement. Confirm whether the base unit includes the necessary hardware for the 19-inch brackets or if these are sold separately. Ensure that the 84HP grid aligns with your intended module footprint. Check for any specific surface treatment options if corrosion resistance beyond the standard natural finish is required for your environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a deeper 495mm chassis is required compared to standard 300mm or 400mm units. The 84HP width accommodates wide modules or multiple narrow units side-by-side. Consider this desktop variant over wall-mountable cabinets if benchtop accessibility is prioritized. Verify that the 6/7U height provides sufficient vertical clearance for your tallest components while maintaining stability on the work surface.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF Ratiopac PRO AIR family, known for high-quality electronics packaging. The series emphasizes modularity and thermal management through its design language. As a desktop case, it serves as a foundational element for building custom electronic systems without the constraints of fixed rack configurations, allowing for easier access during development and testing phases.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When replacing older models, verify that the new unit's mounting bracket configuration matches existing infrastructure. Ensure that the HP grid spacing remains compatible with legacy modules if cross-generational replacement is planned.
