24813442

Overview

The Schroff 24813442 is a PIU S1 WO P EMC 3U 42HP 167D rack plug-in unit kit. It features a shielded design with a hood, constructed for 3U height and 42 HP width within standard 19-inch rack systems. The unit measures 167 mm in depth and includes perforated panels to facilitate airflow management. This component serves as a structural frame assembly designed to house electronic modules while providing electromagnetic compatibility shielding.

Feature Summary

• Shielded construction with integrated hood for electromagnetic interference protection
• Perforated panel design to support thermal management and airflow
• Compatible with 3U height and 42 HP width rack standards

Applications

• Industrial control cabinet module housing
• Telecommunications equipment framing
• Test and measurement instrument enclosures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for dimensional tolerances and material specifications before integration. Confirm that the 167 mm depth aligns with your system's rear clearance requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting rails and connector interfaces. Cross-reference the part number 24813-442 with official nVent SCHROFF documentation to confirm current manufacturing status and regional availability constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this unit when a pre-shielded 3U frame with 42 HP width is required for modular installations. The 167 mm depth suits applications with limited rear access or specific cable routing needs. Consider the perforated panel configuration if active cooling or passive ventilation is necessary for the installed electronics. Verify EMC requirements against the provided test reports.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent SCHROFF PIU (Plug-In Unit) series, which provides standardized mechanical solutions for 19-inch rack environments. The 24813-442 model specifically addresses the need for shielded, modular frames that integrate seamlessly with other rack accessories. It is part of a broader ecosystem of rack components designed for industrial and telecommunications infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official nVent SCHROFF documentation for direct substitutes. Alternative models may vary in depth, such as the 24813-342, or differ in shielding configurations. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3U/42 HP form factor and compatible mounting standards.
