Hammond RM1922BKVP 16.60 x 22.00 in Vented Top/Bottom Panel, Black

The RM1922BKVP is a vented replacement top or bottom body panel for the RM series rack-mount aluminum instrument enclosure, sold individually. Its nominal panel size is 16.60 in (422 mm) wide by 22.00 in (559 mm) deep, the full 16.60 in width footprint listed in the RM ordering table for the RM1U1922VBK through RM5U1922VBK 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.

The drawing shows 816 vent holes of Ø0.170 in in 17 rows by 48 columns on 0.313 in x 0.313 in spacing; at 0.71 lbs (0.32 kg) it is much lighter than the solid RM1922BKSP.

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 413.79 mm [16.291 in] by 544.60 mm [21.441 in], 1.80 mm [0.071 in] thick, with mounting holes called out as 10 X Ø0.160 in x 0.07 in, countersunk Ø0.256 in X 82°. Top and bottom panels in the RM design are interchangeable, so the same part serves either position.

The RM1922BKVP is RoHS and REACH compliant, has a shipping weight of 0.71 lbs (0.32 kg), and carries UPC 623980505855. 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.
