STANDARD PRODUCTS � KM6 Subracks

KM6 Subracks

In order to meet the diverse mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements that today's markets & applications demand, Verotec offer four distinct subrack ranges. All are designed around a number of dimensional standards that aim to provide a basic level of interchangeability between different versions and between manufactures of similar systems. The basis is the DIN 41494 Eurocard standard and the dimensions for the housing of Eurocards are described in IEC 60297-3, to which KM6-II is designed. KM6-RF too is designed around this specification but also meets the requirements of IEEE1101.10/11 which builds on IEC 60297-3 to offer additional functionality. For high volume and price sensitive applications such as infrastructure projects, the low cost KM6-EC is an ideal solution. Verotec's answer to heavy duty applications is the KM6-HD subrack which is designed to meet MILSTD- 167 and therefore makes it suitable for applications where resistance to excess shock and vibration is required.

KM6-II SUBRACK SYSTEM

Fully compatible with DIN 41494 part 5 and IEC 60297-3, KM6-II subracks are strong, versatile and easy to assemble. All tiebars have two screw fixing positions making the construction robust yet accurate and well suited to light and medium duty applications. The range is extensive, offering 3U, 4U, 6U and 9U heights in width of 24, 42, 60 & 84HP and depths of 160, 240, 300, 360 & 420mm. KM6-II Subracks are supplied either in kit form or individual component parts and are complimented by a wide range of accessories, including EMC conversion kits, guides, front panels and plug-in modules.

KM6-RF SUBRACK SYSTEM

The KM6-RF subrack range meets the requirements of IEEE 1101.10 & 11, which expands on IEC60297 to add functionality required for modern industrial computing applications. This includes RFI shielding, a rear transition area, front panel ESD / coding and handles with an injector / extractor operating feature. KM6-RF is therefore well suited to VME64x, CompactPCI and PXI applications, serving typical markets such as Telecoms, Medical and Instrumentation. The range caters for various combinations of height, width and depth and is complimented by a wide range of accessories, including guides, front panels and plug-in modules. KM6-RF subracks are supplied in complete kits or in their component parts.

KM6-EC SUBRACK SYSTEM

KM6-EC subracks have been designed and are suitable for high volume, cost sensitive applications. Whilst they are still versatile and fully conform to the requirements of IEC60297, care has been taken to remove certain features found in the KM6-II range to reduce the manufacturing cost. These include lighter extrusion profiles, single-point tiebar fixings (rather than double) and Zintec side plates (rather than aluminium). They are backward compatible with many of the standard KM6-II accessories including card guides, front panels, plug-in modules and covers.

KM6-HD SUBRACK SYSTEM

The KM6-HD subrack system although primarily designed for military use, would suit any rugged application where a resistance to shock and vibration is required. Built to meet MIL-STD-167, its features include positive guide retention, heavy two screw fixing tiebars, 3mm thick side plates & rack angles and a conductive finish throughout. The KM6-HD subrack accepts standard Eurocards in 3U, 6U & 9U heights and depths of up to 400mm in both the IEC 297 and IEEE 1101.10 standards. They are supplied fully assembled and complimented by the standard range of KM6 accessories.
