1U Rack

My client needed an enclosure for a PCB he was designing. He provided the requirements for the components on the front panel. I designed the sheet metal enclosure and selected the off the shelf components. He took care of the electrical portion and the screen final screen print. The pictures here show generic labels. The enclosure is made from 5052 aluminum sheet metal and consists of a base, top cover, and 2x mounting ears. It is designed to fit a standard 19" rack mount and takes up 1 RU of space. The front pane includes a power button with a ring LED, vent holes, USB connectors, LCD screen, knurled knob, and 3x indicator LEDs. The front panel and mounting ears are painted white and the rest of the outer surfaces of the enclosure are power coated black. The rear side simply consists of venting holes a C14 connector for power.
