The description sections and FAQ are machine-assisted and can contain errors; where they disagree with the record, the record is correct, and where description sections disagree with each other, Details wins._ ## Summary - Manufacturer: Elma - Condition: Used and in Excellent Condition - Price: $50.00 USD - Availability: In stock, 1 available - Warranty: 1-Year Warranty with 30-Day Return Guarantee - ITAR restricted: No - Shipping weight: 1 lb, estimated - Shipping dimensions: 8X8X3 in, estimated ## Categories - Test Equipment > Electrical Test > Electrical Parts (primary) ## Details ### Configuration - Length: 10 5/16" - Width: 12/16" ## Overview Passive electromagnetic interference shielding component designed for 6U VPX or VME card cage architectures occupying single slot width. Fabricated from conductive materials with integrated grounding contacts to maintain chassis electromagnetic compatibility when inserted into unused card slots. Features standardized mechanical dimensions conforming to VITA or IEEE card cage specifications with front panel mounting hardware. Provides continuous shielding barrier preventing RF leakage through open slot apertures while maintaining proper airflow characteristics. Compatible with standard card guides and ejector handle mechanisms for tool-free installation and removal in military, aerospace, and industrial computing platforms. ## Function An empty slot filler panel for 6U-sized chassis systems, providing EMI/RFI shielding to maintain electromagnetic compatibility in partially populated enclosures. Prevents dust ingress, maintains proper airflow, and preserves structural integrity of rack systems. Features mechanical design compatible with standard 6U form factor mounting schemes, typically used in VME, VPX, or other modular electronic systems to cover unused slots while maintaining shielding effectiveness and system cooling performance. ## Platform This passive EMI/RFI shielding component is engineered for 6U Eurocard-based systems, including VMEbus, CompactPCI, OpenVPX, and custom chassis. Its primary function is to block electromagnetic interference, maintain chassis airflow integrity, and protect internal components in unused slots. It interfaces physically with subrack card guides and front panel mounting provisions, ensuring system-level EMC compliance and structural rigidity. Applications span defense, aerospace, industrial control, and telecommunications where high-reliability, shielded enclosures are paramount. ## Application Provides mechanical spacing and EMI shielding in vacant slots of 6U VME, VPX, CompactPCI, or OpenVPX chassis systems. Prevents electromagnetic interference between adjacent cards while maintaining proper airflow patterns for thermal management. Commonly deployed in military, aerospace, and industrial computing systems where partial population of backplane slots requires maintaining system integrity. Used in radar processing systems, avionics computers, test equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure where empty slots must be properly terminated to meet EMC compliance and prevent signal crosstalk or radiation leakage. ## Accessories Mounting hardware (e.g., M6 or 10-32 screws) for securing the panel within a 6U rackmount chassis. The filler panel acts as a passive mechanical component, forming an EMI/RFI shield and airflow barrier in an open slot. No electrical or data connectors/interfaces. Associated equipment: Standard 6U rack-mountable chassis. ## Interface Designed for 6U single-slot Eurocard chassis mounting. Features standard 6U height (233.35mm) form factor with front panel mounting tabs. Provides EMI/RFI shielding for unused card slots. No electrical connections or interfaces - purely mechanical shielding component. Mounts using standard Eurocard guide rails and front panel securing mechanisms. ## Images - - - -
