Trapeze-shaped extractor handle is easy to fit

15 June 2005 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Schroff has developed a new extractor handle for easy insertion and extraction of plug-in units within 19" subracks. The form and outer appearance correspond to the previous model, but the mechanics have been reconstructed and are thus considerably improved.

The new handle, Type 2, can be fixed to the front panel more easily, ie, it is fastened to the front with a screw. It fits exactly into the front cut outs, in which the IEEE handles are normally mounted. This means that it can be used for IEEE applications as an alternative, where in some applications more space is required in front of the front panel. An integrated location pin guarantees optimum positioning of shielded plug-in units.

Through the new mechanics, with two lugs, the force during extraction is spread evenly. Therefore twisting and bending of the plug-in units, in particular the connectors, is now almost impossible. The new handle will be supplied with one order number, ready assembled, which lessens effort and costs for the user.

The new Type 2 handle fulfils EN 50155 standards and is available in three colours (dark grey, black and light grey).
