    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines dimensions and features for R-type subracks and plug-in units, i.e. ruggedized variants of the mechanical structures of the 482,6 mm (19 in) series, with enhanced vibration and shock resistance and/or improved EMC performance, for use in more harsh environment.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of IEC60297 provides dimensions and features for R-type subracks and plug-in units, i.e. ruggedized variants of the mechanical structures of the 482,6mm (19 in) series, with enhanced vibration and shock resistance and/or improved EMC performance, for use in more harsh environment. This leads to a subrack standard which is externally compatible with IEC60297‑3‑100 but internally largely incompatible with IEC60297‑3‑101 . R-type subracks, chassis integrated subracks and plug-in units incorporate dimensions and features which provide for a higher level of ruggedness, compared with IEC60297‑3‑101 (test set-up and load definitions are selected from IEC61587‑1 and IEC61587‑5 ).
