Original Press Release:
Elma Offers Ergonomic Handles in CompactPCI/VME64x, Classic, and Telco Styles
FREMONT, California, August 9, 2006 - Elma Electronic Inc., a global manufacturer of electronic packaging products and components, now offers embedded board injector /ejector handles in CompactPCI/VME64x, Classic, and Telco styles.
The CompactPCI/VME64x handle is specifically designed for CompactPCI and VME64x architecture applications. They come with or without an ESD pin and an .1" offset per the PICMG 2.11 R1.0 power interface specification. The button mechanism unlocks the handle with a microswitch sending a signal that the board is disengaging. The Telco handle has similar features including the button mechanism and ESD pin options. However, the Telco handles are longer to provide more leverage for the high insertion/retention force of most telco boards. The end of the handle is arched outwards for superior ergonomics and to ensure fingers won't be pinched. Long Telco handles are also available. Elma also offers a "Classic" ergonomic handle in latching and non-latching formats.
Elma's line of handles come in black, gray, or custom colors. The handles can be offset or aligned and with or without microswitches with pre-assembled wire. Elma's quality is renowned in the industry and offers many of its handle products in stock or with "express" lead-times. The company is also developing a cutting-edge AdvancedTCA handle to be released in Fall 2006.
Lead-time is stock to 2 weeks. For more information on Elma's handles, visit www.elma.com or call 510-656-3400.
