Modular IPC Enclosure from Elma Features Dynamic EMC Solutions
FREMONT, California, May 1, 2003 * Elma Electronic Inc, a global manufacturer of electronic packaging products, has announced a new family of Industrial PC enclosures with dynamic EMC containment capability in flexible, modular solutions.
Today's high-speed processors create higher frequencies, making EMC containment more challenging. The EMC solution of Elma's Type 4F IPC enclosure is capable of attenuating at frequencies of up to 30 db. Elma uses their patented EMC spring clips, which are more reliable than standard gaskets that can bend or snag. The chassis can optionally be upgraded to "Advanced Level", to fulfill the most sophisticated EMC requirements. These include special combinations of spring clips, contact springs, and honeycomb gasketing.
Designed to fit in 19" racks, the Type 4F is 4U high and only 445 mm deep (versions with a built-in depth of 545 mm and a 2U chassis for riser or low-profile cards will follow). The housing is designed for ATX and AT motherboards up to 14 slots (8, 10, and 12 slot versions are optional). It visibly accommodates three 5¼" CD-ROM- and a 3½" FDD cassette mechanism, as well as up to three more 3 ½" HDD internally. The hot-dip galvanized finishing of the housing prevents corrosion.
Elma incorporates modularity into each design, so that new configurations can be made quickly, more cost-effectively, and with proven design methods. The company's ISO9001 quality processes ensure consistency of the product over time. The unit purchased today will have the same configuration as the unit you buy tomorrow.
The IPC enclosure is cooled via positive pressure with ducting to ensure maximum airflow to the cards, where it is needed. The heat build-up can optionally be monitored with a temperature sensor. Also, the front fan filter can be replaced fast and easily.
The power supply units have 250W, 300W, 350W or 2 x 300W redundant options. The PFC (Power Factor Correction) and Pentium 4 connectors provide the necessary power to the industrial PC Type F4. Front panels are also available in black or light grey powder-coated and other colors.
Pricing of the F4 IPC starts under $400.00 with a 2-4 week lead time.
