Aluminium housing EUKAP 45/55

Robust profile enclosure for Eurocards with 100 mm and 164 mm width

The aluminium enclosures of the EUKAP 45/55 series consist of a robust profile housing with U-shaped cross-section and a slide-in cover or base. The EUKAP 45 variant is designed for Eurocards with a width of 100 mm and a maximum PCB thickness of 1.6 mm, while the EUKAP 55 variant is designed for 164 mm wide Eurocards with a maximum PCB thickness of 1.7 mm.

The profiles have internal dimensions of 37 × 100 mm (EUKAP 45) and 47 × 164 mm (EUKAP 55). This provides sufficient space for populated PCBs with different component heights. Profile wall thicknesses of 3 mm (EUKAP 45) and 4 mm (EUKAP 55), together with a 2 mm thick slide-in cover, ensure high mechanical stability and reliably protect the electronics against external influences.

Inside, the profiles are equipped with several PCB guides (PCB slots). The EUKAP 45 variant provides 6 PCB slots, the EUKAP 55 provides 8 PCB slots. This allows the Eurocards to be positioned in a suitable slot depending on layout and component height.

The enclosures are supplied as a kit. The scope of delivery includes the U-profile, the slide-in cover or base and two end plates, including the appropriate screws (EUKAP 45: 8 screws; EUKAP 55: 10 screws). The end plates have a material thickness of 2.5 mm (EUKAP 45) or 3 mm (EUKAP 55). Profile and end plates are available either in natural anodized aluminium or black anodized aluminium.

The EUKAP 45/55 series is therefore particularly suitable for electronic modules in Eurocard format where a robust, closed enclosure solution is required for cards with a width of 100 mm or 164 mm. Typical examples include measurement, control or interface modules in industrial and equipment applications.
