Hammond RM0804BKSP 8.30 x 4.25 in Solid Top/Bottom Panel, Black

The RM0804BKSP is a solid replacement top or bottom body panel for the RM series rack-mount aluminum instrument enclosure, sold individually. Its nominal panel size is 8.30 in (211 mm) wide by 4.25 in (108 mm) deep, the half-width footprint listed in the RM ordering table for the RM1U0804SBK, RM2U0804SBK and RM3U0804SBK enclosures. It is intended for OEM builders, maintenance teams and integrators who need to replace a damaged panel, keep a spare for machining, or change an enclosure between solid and vented tops.

This is the smallest top/bottom panel in the RM range, matching the 8.30 in wide x 4.25 in deep half-width footprint, and at 0.88 lbs (0.40 kg) it is a light, simple replacement for a scratched or modified lid.

The drawing specifies the panel material as .064" aluminum (5052-H32) with a black powder coat colour, and the part page lists aluminum material in black. Drawing dimensions show the panel at 202.97 mm [7.991 in] by 93.65 mm [3.687 in], 1.80 mm [0.071 in] thick, with mounting holes called out as 4 X Ø3.00 mm thru, countersunk Ø6.50 mm X 82.0°. Top and bottom panels in the RM design are interchangeable, so the same part serves either position.

The RM0804BKSP is RoHS and REACH compliant, has a shipping weight of 0.88 lbs (0.40 kg), and carries UPC 623980102245. The drawing notes that the panel can be factory modified (milling, drilling, printing) and that solid models are available in STEP or IGES, useful when planning cut-outs for connectors, fans or displays. Because RM enclosure panels are powder coated, they are not grounded to the frame; the grounding method is to be determined by the customer.
