The Diplomat series enclosures from Verotec are available in 19 or 10.5inch thermally managed units for use in housing standalone systems. The 19inch caseframe is suitable for direct mounting of boards and modules and can also be used as a vertical tower unit. Manufactured in 3, 4, 6, and 9U heights and depths of 322, 422, 522, and 622mm, the series is suitable for medical technology applications, and for housing a variety of desktop instruments. All horizontal cases and caseframes can be fitted with a filtered ventilation plinth that replaces the standard base cover. The plinth can be fitted with fans to push air into the unit or it can provide good air throughput if fans are mounted in the rear panel to draw air out of the case. The cool air is directed through the active equipment area by a duct plate that blanks off the space behind circuit boards. For applications that require EMC attenuation, both cases and caseframes are available as Diplomat-RF versions, which include beryllium copper finger gaskets. The gaskets can be fitted to the top and bottom covers at variable spacing depending on the required attenuation level. A base cover enables attenuation levels of around 100dB at 1MHz for EMC panels and ventilated plinth versions.
