30846681

Overview

The Schroff 30846681 is a flat front panel designed for rack mounting systems, featuring a slot cutout to accommodate an EMC gasket. Constructed from stainless steel, it provides structural integrity and electromagnetic interference shielding capabilities. The component measures 4 HE (Housing Units) in height and spans 42 TE (Technical Units) in width, ensuring compatibility with standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It serves as a protective cover for equipment bays while maintaining the necessary clearance for internal cabling or ventilation through the designated slot.

Feature Summary

• Flat design with integrated slot for EMC gasket installation
• Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Standard 4 HE height and 42 TE width dimensions

Applications

• Rack-mounted electronic equipment enclosures
• EMC shielding applications requiring gasket integration
• Industrial control cabinet front panels

Procurement Notes

Verify exact dimensional tolerances against specific rack standards before procurement. Confirm material specifications match environmental requirements. Ensure slot dimensions align with intended EMC gasket profiles. Check compatibility with adjacent rack accessories to prevent mechanical interference during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when stainless steel durability and EMC shielding are required. The 4x42 configuration suits standard 19-inch racks. Consider the slot requirement if gasket-based sealing is necessary. Evaluate weight constraints due to metal construction compared to plastic alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF rack accessories portfolio, which includes PCB accessories and enclosure components. The brand specializes in electronics packaging solutions.
