34812642

Overview

The Schroff 34812642 is a Plug-In Unit (PIU) frame accessory designed for modular electronics enclosures. It features an anodized finish and conforms to the 6U height standard with a 42 Horizontal Pitch (HP) width. Constructed from extruded aluminum, this component serves as a structural side panel or frame element for building custom plug-in units. The unit is part of the nVent SCHROFF rack accessories portfolio, providing mechanical support and alignment for internal modules within standardized chassis systems.

Feature Summary

• Anodized surface treatment for corrosion resistance
• Extruded aluminum construction for structural rigidity
• Compatible with 6U height and 42 HP width standards

Applications

• Construction of modular plug-in unit frames
• Side panel assembly for rack-mounted equipment
• Structural support in electronic enclosure systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact dimensional tolerances and mounting hole patterns against your specific chassis requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 6U/42HP configuration matches your system's spatial constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing backplane or guide rail interfaces. Check for any specific anodizing color codes if visual consistency with other components is required. Validate lead times as manufacturing schedules may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a rigid, lightweight frame structure is needed for a 6U high, 42 HP wide module. Consider the anodized finish for environments requiring basic environmental protection. Ensure the extruded aluminum profile aligns with the mechanical interface standards of your chosen backplane or subrack system. Verify depth requirements separately, as this item primarily defines height and width constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the nVent SCHROFF range of PCB accessories and rack solutions. It complements other frame elements like cover plates and side panels to create complete enclosure assemblies. The product line supports various industrial and commercial electronics packaging needs, offering standardized dimensions for interoperability across different module types.

Replacement Considerations

No publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 6U height, 42 HP width, and mounting interface specifications precisely. Consult manufacturer engineering support for alternative profiles if exact replacement is necessary.
