SCHROFF PIU2 3U 7HP module, dual finish, model 20818021

SCHROFF PIU2 3U 7HP module, dual finish, model 20818021 is a compact enclosure component engineered for 3U rack systems with a 7HP width. It provides a standardized mechanical interface for modular electronic and embedded computing assemblies, enabling consistent alignment and secure mounting within SCHROFF racks and chassis. The dual finish supports compatibility with different panel aesthetics and mounting requirements while maintaining the physical dimensions common to 3U, 7HP modules.

Advantages

The module's standardized form factor simplifies integration into existing 3U rack layouts and reduces design variation when assembling modular systems. Its dual finish accommodates both functional and cosmetic mounting needs, allowing consistent appearance across mixed hardware. The compact physical size and precise mechanical tolerances offer reliable alignment, ease of installation, and predictable spacing for adjacent modules and cabling.

Suitable for

• Integration into 3U rack and chassis systems that accept 7HP modules
• Modular embedded computing assemblies and backplane-mounted subcomponents
• Replacement or upgrade of front-panel modules to match mixed-finish rack environments
• Applications requiring standardized mechanical interfaces for predictable spacing and mounting

Key specifications

• Form factor: 3U height compatible with standard 3U rack systems
• Module width: 7HP (horizontal pitch units)
• Finish: dual finish surface treatment for compatibility with different panel appearances
• Mounting: designed for front-panel mounting in SCHROFF racks and chassis
• Material and mechanical tolerances: engineered for stable alignment and secure attachment in modular racks

How to use

Position the module into the appropriate 3U slot in the rack or chassis, ensuring the 7HP width aligns with adjacent modules and rack guides. Secure the module to the front-panel mounting points according to the rack manufacturer's instructions and use compatible fasteners. Confirm that the dual finish side selected for outward presentation meets the visual or functional requirements before finalizing installation. Verify mechanical fit and clearance for connectors, cabling and neighboring modules to maintain reliable operation within the enclosure.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, check compatibility with the target SCHROFF rack or chassis and confirm available 7HP slot spacing. Handle the module by its edges to avoid surface damage to the finished panels, and use recommended torque values for mounting fasteners to prevent deformation. For mixed-finish environments, align all front panels consistently to preserve airflow and cable routing paths.
