Key Product Features:

• Panel: Extruded aluminum eliminates the bowing common with cold rolled sheet metal.
• PCB Mounting: Integral to the panel extrusion, EZ-Mount™ PCB mounting blocks can be machined wherever needed in the vertical direction with VME spacing of 0.154” from front panel left edge. Reduces parts count and simplifies assembly. In single handle 3U applications, eliminates the need for a hole through the panel for the upper PCB mounting block. Double width (8HP) panel extrusion with integral mounting for a second PCB per the VME specification is also available.
• Ejector Handles: Solid aluminum extrusion with single, twin or QUAD cam construction have a minimum of 0.2" cam travel, allowing for straight and full removal of the PCB from backplane connectors. The twin cam reduces torque on the PCB/Panel assembly, which avoids warping or damage to the PCB. Handles can be customized for non-standard front panel widths.
• EMI Gasket: Triple*Ease™ shielded VME panels are available with Nickel plated BeCu EMI gaskets which provide optimum shielding effectiveness.
• ID Labels: Permanently bonded to solid metal handle surface with self-stick adhesive. Can be printed with logos, part numbers or other text.
• Finish: Durable powder coat finish is available in several standard colors. Can withstand 1000 hours salt spray. Optional brushed finish with Iridite or anodize finish is also available.
