Hammond RM5U19BKFP 5U Full-Width Replacement Front/Rear Panel

The RM5U19BKFP is a single replacement front or rear panel for full-width 5U RM series rack-mount aluminum instrument enclosures. Its part description reads "RM5U x 16.35" FRONT/REAR PANEL", and the long description is "hardware - replacement panels for RM5U19". Because the front and rear panels of an RM enclosure are interchangeable, the one part covers either position. Typical buyers are OEM engineers and integrators who need a fresh blank panel to machine for switches, meters, displays or connectors.

The RM ordering table lists the panel at 8.75 in (222 mm) high by 16.60 in (422 mm) wide for 5U. The drawing gives the panel itself as 415.30 mm [16.350 in] wide by 221.49 mm [8.720 in] high, with a 3.18 mm [0.125 in] thickness, and 4 x Ø4.30 mm [Ø0.169 in] holes, with 106.05 mm [4.175 in] hole spacing dimensions. The RM series specification describes the front and rear panels as extruded aluminum 0.125 in (3.2 mm) thick, finished in rugged textured black powder coat.

The RM5U19BKFP suits the 5U enclosures RM5U1913, RM5U1918, RM5U1922 and RM5U1928 in solid and vented versions, which all share the 16.60 in width. Note that RM panels are not grounded to the frame because of the powder coat finish; the grounding method is to be determined by the customer, which matters if you are mounting grounded connectors on the panel.

It is RoHS and REACH compliant, with a shipping weight of 2.2 lbs (1.00 kg), UPC 623980108889 and UNSPSC 43201602.
