Electronics cabinet withstands naval environment
Schroff
Varistar MIL 901D cabinet
Electronics packaging expert Schroff has developed a ruggedised 19in cabinet that is suitable for use on frigates, aircraft carriers and submarines.
The Varistar MIL 901D cabinet protects sensitive electronic systems from the conditions encountered during operation at sea.
It has been independently tested in accordance with the MIL-STD-901D standard to confirm its robustness and stability under extreme shock.
In addition, the cabinet is designed to MIL-STD for vibration resistance and its frame and covers are galvanised and powder coated to protect them from corrosion.
The MIL 901D model is based on Schroff's standard Varistar cabinet with modifications to enable it to cope with the rigours of naval applications.
Four shock absorbers are attached to the cabinet's welded base plate and two more are fixed to the rear of the solid top cover for wall mounting.
The shock absorbers are designed for each individual application, with the type and size determined by variables such as the cabinet dimensions, the weight of the components housed in the cabinet and the position of its centre of gravity.
Varistar MIL 901D is available in a range of sizes and provides good EMC shielding performance together with IP55 sealing against the ingress of dust and moisture.
