Hammond RM0808BKSP 8.30 x 8.00 in Solid Top/Bottom Panel, Black

The RM0808BKSP 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 8.00 in (203 mm) deep, the half-width footprint listed in the RM ordering table for the RM1U0808SBK, RM2U0808SBK and RM3U0808SBK 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.

It covers the 8.30 in wide x 8.00 in deep half-width footprint, the deeper of the two half-width sizes, and ships at 1.32 lbs (0.60 kg).

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 189.00 mm [7.441 in], 1.80 mm [0.071 in] thick, with mounting holes called out as 6 X Ø3.00 mm x 8.00 mm, 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 RM0808BKSP is RoHS and REACH compliant, has a shipping weight of 1.32 lbs (0.60 kg), and carries UPC 623980102276. 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.
