KM6 Case Frames House Eurocard-Based Cards And Modules December 03, 2008
A new line of KM6 case frames is designed for applications requiring the mounting or housing of Eurocard-based cards and modules in either a 19-in. rack mount or desktop enclosure. A step up from a standard subrack, its design requires no additional housing and offers optional EMC protection and the integration of cooling fans and power supplies in a self-contained unit. The use of standard KM6 subrack components means that the case frame is fully compatible with KM6-II card guides, front panels, plug-in units, and other accessories. The top and bottom covers can be removed for system building and servicing. A range of accessories are available: tilt feet, carry handles, fan trays, and hinged front and rear covers. The KM6 family conforms to DIN41494 and IEC297 standards. The large number of standard elements enables complex units to be configured from standard components, reduces time to market, and reduces front-end engineering costs. Specific variants of the case frames are approved for use in high-shock and high-vibration environments such as railway applications. Other versions offer enhanced attenuation for use where EMC is a potential issue. VEROTEC INC., Londonderry, NH. (603) 821-9921.
