SCHROFF PROPAC PRO CASE 3U 42HP 326D is a compact 3U rack enclosure providing 42HP of usable front panel width and 326 mm of internal depth. The case is designed to house modular electronics, instruments and plug-in units in a standardized format, offering front access for installation and maintenance. Its dimensions and mounting configuration make it suitable for laboratory setups, industrial control systems and telecom test equipment where a small, rack-mounted solution is required.

Advantages

The enclosure provides a standardized 3U mounting space with clear 42HP front width for modular modules, supporting straightforward mechanical installation. Constructed for professional usage, the case offers organized internal space for components and cables while keeping a compact footprint. Front-access design simplifies module insertion, removal and servicing without the need to access the rear of the unit. The fixed internal depth of 326 mm balances space for electronics with reduced overall enclosure size.

Suitable for

• Mounting modular electronic cards and eurocards in a compact rack format
• Laboratory instrumentation and test bench equipment
• Industrial control and automation modules with front-panel access
• Telecom and network test modules requiring standardized panel width

Key specifications

• Form factor: 3U rack enclosure
• Front panel width: 42HP (horizontal pitch units)
• Internal depth: 326 mm
• Mounting: standardized front mounting for plug-in modules
• Application area: modular electronics, instruments, test equipment

How to use

Install the enclosure into a compatible rack or place it on a bench as a standalone case. Secure modules to the front panel using the recommended screws and guides, ensuring correct alignment with mounting rails. Route power and signal cabling through the rear or designated entry points, keeping internal wiring organized to maintain airflow and service access.
