Front panel SCHROFF 20850136 unshielded for 3U 63TE mounting

Front panel SCHROFF 20850136 unshielded for 3U 63TE mounting is an unshielded metal front panel designed to fit 3U electronic enclosures with a width of 63TE. It provides a standardized front interface for modules and components, aligning with 63TE rack spacing to ensure correct mechanical integration in systems that use SCHROFF-compatible subracks and housings. The panel is intended for use where an unshielded, mechanically robust front face is required for installations, repairs or replacements in electronic chassis.

Advantages

This unshielded front panel offers precise dimensional conformity to 63TE spacing and 3U height, enabling straightforward mechanical installation. Its unshielded design provides easy access for connectors, displays or controls mounted on the front without additional conductive barriers. Built to match standard subrack geometries, the panel facilitates interchangeability and simplifies maintenance and replacement in professional electronic systems.

Suitable for

• Replacement of damaged or worn 3U front panels in 63TE systems
• Integration into SCHROFF-compatible subracks and enclosures
• Prototyping and system assembly where an unshielded front is required
• Retrofits and repairs of industrial or telecom chassis using 3U modules

Key specifications

• Form factor: 3U height compatible with 63TE rack width
• Shielding: unshielded front panel design
• Material: metal construction suitable for front-face mounting (conductive finish typical for SCHROFF panels)
• Mounting: designed for standard 63TE mounting points and fasteners
• Front interface: accommodates module connectors, controls and indicators without integrated EMI barriers

How to use

Align the front panel with the 63TE mounting rails of the 3U enclosure and secure it using the appropriate screws or captive fasteners at the designated mounting points. Ensure that any front-mounted connectors, switches or displays are positioned and fitted before final attachment to avoid misalignment. Verify mechanical fit and clearances with adjacent panels and modules, then tighten all fasteners to the specified torque or hand-tighten as recommended by the enclosure manufacturer.

Usage recommendations

Use this unshielded SCHROFF front panel where front access to connectors and controls is required and where EMI shielding is provided elsewhere in the system or not critical. For installations requiring electromagnetic compatibility or grounding, consider using a shielded panel or add appropriate grounding and sealing measures between the panel and chassis. Handle the panel with appropriate ESD precautions when installing electronics-sensitive modules.
