(click image to zoom by 4.1x)

The Elma IEEE front panels are front anodized and rear-conductive with top and bottom cutouts for handle mounting. By anodizing the front of the panel, it provides a scratch-resistant and non-conductive material. This is ideal for the front of the panel where unsightly scratches and abrasions are unacceptable. The back and sides of the panels are alodined, which is conductive, but not scratch resistant. It is important for the inside of the front of the chassis to have electrical continuity from panel to panel.

Other sizes for the IEEE front panels include 4HP-10HP, 12HP, and 14HP. Elma’s front panels and filler panels are designed to provide accurate alignment for adjacent cards and EMC protection for the enclosure. The front panels are available in a wide array of styles and have both segmented and continuous gasket styles. Also, a wide range of customization services are available. For volumes of 1-2000 panels, high-speed milling services are utilized. For quantities above 2000 panels, Nc punch machines are employed for accurate and uniform stamping. Other in-house services include silk-screening, painting, overlays, and assembly of handles and springs.
