30848382

Overview

The Schroff 30848382 is a front panel designed for VMEbus systems, specifically configured as a 3U height and 7 HP (Half-Height) unit. Constructed from aluminum with a front anodized finish and rear conductive surface, it features a U-profile design intended for retrofit shielding applications. The component serves as a blanking or mounting plate within rack enclosures, providing structural integrity and electromagnetic compatibility support for plug-in units in industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Constructed from aluminum with a front anodized finish and a conductive rear surface to support shielding requirements
• Designed with a U-profile geometry suitable for retrofit shielding applications in modular rack systems
• Configured as a 3U height and 7 HP width panel for integration into standard VMEbus chassis architectures

Applications

• VMEbus system front panel installation
• Retrofit shielding in industrial rack enclosures
• Blanking plate usage for unused slots in modular chassis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material finish and dimensional tolerances against your enclosure requirements before ordering. Confirm that the U-profile design aligns with your existing mounting hardware and shielding strategies. Ensure the 3U by 7 HP configuration matches the available space in your target chassis. Check for any recent engineering change notices regarding material composition or surface treatment specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a conductive, shielded front panel is required for a 3U VME slot. The aluminum construction offers durability while the anodized front provides corrosion resistance. The conductive rear surface is critical if electromagnetic interference mitigation is a priority. Ensure compatibility with the specific rack series and plug-in unit dimensions used in your assembly.
