Need more protection from EMC than you first imagined?

21 July 2010

Have you ever designed a piece of kit which let you down by being susceptible to EMC when you thought it ought not to be? Well, Rittal has the answer with the Ripac Vario subrack for mounting multiple board electronics in 19in racks, as the range is easily upgraded from standard to EMC after it has been completed. This will provide over 40dB of shielding effectiveness at 1GHz, both for incoming and outgoing protection.

For a simple upgrade add top and bottom covers, a rear panel, and a few gaskets to ensure good electrical and mechanical contact between adjacent surfaces. These components are readily available from stock.

Of course if you want to ensure full protection from the beginning, the Ripac Vario EMC subracks are also available on short lead times, along with EMC front and rear panels and a wide range of useful accessories.
