Self-Locking Handle Fits cPCI And VME64 Apps

May 1, 1999

The insertion and extraction of 19" CompactPCI, VME64 extension and other Eurocard boards is made easier with firm's line of high-leverage, self-locking injector handles, which conform to the IEEE 1101.10 specification for VME64 extensions, CompactPCI and other Eurocard modules.The handles also feature a positive secure lock in the inserted position to prevent any accidental extraction of boards. The self-locking design incorporates a moving pivot for optimal leverage. In addition, the handle has a separate sliding element that locks plug-in units into the subrack without screws. Beneficial for high-availability and redundant systems, the sliding element actuates a micro-switch that signals the CPU that a board is being disconnected.
