  • Subrack for plug-in units
    Patent number: 7006358
    Abstract: A subrack (1) for use in industrial electronics includes two parallel sidewalls 10, bottom and top walls (40, 30) cooperatively defining a space therebetween for receiving plug-in units (50) therein. Each of the bottom and top walls includes a first plate (35) defining a number of spaced slide channels, and a second plate (31) fixed to the first plate. After the plug-in units slide into the subrack along the slide channels, mounting panels (52) of the plug-in units engage with fronts of the bottom and top walls thereby securing the plug-in units in the subrack. The first and second plates can be produced from sheet steel having a same thickness, which significantly reduces the manufacturing costs.
