EUROCARDS-CRITICAL DIMENSIONS

  • As with the rest of the system the printed circuit boards sizes are standardized

  • All PCBs should be of euro card size and conform to the layout shown below

  • A 2.5 mm wide border is necessary at the top and bottom of printed circuit boards to allow clearance for guides and for mounting into plug-in unit guide rails

  • On the double height Euro card, owing to the overall size and position of the connectors, it is recommended that when fitting components to the front panels the grid as laid out below is adopted. This will allow consistency between 3U and 6U height front panels if mixed configurations are utilized
