Subracks and chassis are considered the most common mechanical designs of electronic equipment. The IEC 60297 series of standards provides definitions of mechanical structure and dimensions for 19 in cabinets and racks and their compatible subracks and chassis. The combination of 19 in based cabinets or racks and subracks and chassis is broadly applied to all industrial electronic fields in the world.
BS EN 60917-2-5 series applies to a frame-based cabinet structure with the specification of interface dimensions for the installation of miscellaneous equipment. The frame structure provides the mounting planes with mounting points for the assembly of internal and external accessories. Unlike the existing standards IEC 60917-2-1 and IEC 60297-3-100, BS EN 60917-2-5 allows cover parts like top covers and front/rear doors to exceed the cabinet's external coordination dimensions.
BS EN BS EN 60917-2-5 on specifications for miscellaneous equipment is useful for:
A chassis is a loadbearing framework of an artificial object, useful in the construction and function of embedded computing devices. Sub-racks are used for the reception of printed circuit boards and plug-in units in industries like telecom, test and measurement, transportation, aerospace etc. There are certain standardized specifications contributing to the performance of subracks and chassis.
BS EN 60917-2-5 discusses terms and definitions that depict a user-friendly idea of a frame-based cabinet. BS EN 60917-2-5 also provides users with an arrangement overview and external coordination dimensions of a frame-based cabinet structure which contributes to their performance characteristics, ensuring their reliability. The guidelines in BS EN 60917-2-5 help you perceive specifications for miscellaneous equipment that enables you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
