This document provides an overview of electronic enclosure construction and components. It covers topics such as cabinet and rail construction, chassis design, slide selection criteria, bracket-to-rail mounting, and component assembly.
This guide explains how to design slides into electronic enclosures, focusing on cabinet construction, rail configurations, and chassis dimensions. It provides criteria for selecting the proper Accuride slide and bracketry based on drawer load, travel, and mounting patterns.
The document also details standard EIA dimensions, rail mounting hole patterns, and load‑rating testing (2,000 cycles, 10‑12 cycles per minute). It includes a glossary of terms and Accuride contact locations worldwide.
| Minimum rail‑to‑rail opening | 17.72" (450 mm) |
|---|---|
| Static overload capacity | 2 × indicated load rating |
The minimum rail‑to‑rail opening is 17.72 inches (450 mm).
Accuride slides can tolerate a static overload of twice the indicated load rating.
