See Product Details

Schroff is revolutionizing the way that front panels are assembled by introducing a NEW die-cast base assembly for sheet metal panels. The new base integrates the alignment pin and thumbscrew into the die-cast eliminating the need for secondary operations during the manufacturing process. The uniquely designed die-cast base attaches to the end of the front panel providing strength and durability to what is commonly referred to as the weakest part of a sheet metal front panel. The new die-cast base not only strengthens the front panel but also provides a dedicated surface area for customized logos.

A new spring-loaded, IEA-R handle is compatible with the die-cast base and features a robust die-cast metal latch to stand up to "ruggedized" applications. The IEA-R handle has unique customization features allowing for serial numbers, logos or board identification labels to be placed directly onto the handle. The IEA-R handle now ships fully assembled – the bushing block, spring & handle are held in the fixed, final assembled position for quick and easy installation to the PCB.

The Schroff panel assembly conforms to the PICMG 3.0 R2 specification, and provides the following features:

Product Features

  • Die-cast base with integrated hardware
