Card handle SCHROFF 24560378 — panel/card grip, pack of 10

SCHROFF card handle model 24560378 is a replacement panel/card grip supplied as a pack of 10. The handle is intended for mounting on module fronts and provides a secure means to extract and insert printed circuit boards or front modules in rack-mounted systems and chassis. Designed for environments where modules are frequently serviced or swapped, this card handle supports safe and repeatable handling during maintenance and upgrades.

Advantages

The card handle offers a compact, durable construction that integrates with standard panel cutouts and module fronts. It provides a firm grip for manual extraction and insertion of cards, reducing the risk of accidental damage to connectors or components. Supplied in a pack of ten, it simplifies replacement of multiple modules at once and ensures consistent ergonomics across a system. The design minimizes protrusion while still offering sufficient leverage for safe operation.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted systems and chassis with removable front modules
• Server, telecom, and industrial electronic assemblies requiring frequent module service
• Field service and maintenance tasks where quick, safe card removal is needed
• Workshops and production lines replacing or upgrading multiple boards

Key specifications

• Form factor: panel-mounted card handle for front-module extraction
• Material: durable engineering plastic (compatible with standard panel fittings)
• Finish and color: neutral finish suitable for integration with equipment fronts
• Pack quantity: 10 handles supplied together
• Mounting: designed for simple snap-in or screw attachment to module fronts (fits standard cutouts)

How to use

Install the card handle on the module front by aligning it with the panel cutout and securing it according to the module's mounting method, either by snap engagement or with small fasteners if required. Once fitted, use the handle to pull the card or module straight out from the rack or chassis, applying steady, even force to avoid twisting the board. To insert a module, guide the card into its slot and push evenly using the handle until the module is fully seated. Regularly inspect the handle and mounting points for wear or damage and replace handles from the pack as needed to maintain safe operation.

Usage recommendations

For safe handling, ensure the system is powered down or that proper hot-swap procedures are followed before removing or inserting modules. Use the pack to replace handles in sets so all modules retain consistent grip and alignment, and keep spare handles available for routine maintenance to minimize downtime.
