Handles are secured with a separate large stainless steel pivot pin, rather than a traditional PCB mounting screw. Twin cam construction reduces torque and allows for 0.2-in. The low profile handle lies flush on the front panel providing a streamlined appearance. PCB mounts are provided where needed, optimizing surface area for connectors, LED's and switches. Special panel mounts, machined to fit customer specifications, attach to PC boards with a single screw.
Panels feature durable scratch resistant powder coat finish with radiused edges and silkscreening.
Panels meet IEEE, DIN and IEC mechanical specs, supporting VMEbus, VXIbus and CompactPCI bus architectures. Triple E Corporation's patented solid aluminum handle assembly with stainless steel leaf spring will not wear out, warp, break, outgas or burn like conventional plastic handles. The revolutionary design meets the new IEEE 1101.10 specifications for cPCI and VME64 bus extension applications, and is ideal for rugged COTS requirements. Extruded aluminum front panels provide a rugged and stable mounting surface for one or more large boards. Patented integral PCB EZmounts ensure secure attachment of the panel to board, preventing warpage or damage during insertion and removal.
