Card Racks

1. Overview

Card Racks are modular mechanical frameworks designed to securely mount and interconnect printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic modules, and subsystems. As standardized infrastructure in electronics systems, they enable efficient assembly, maintenance, and scalability. Their importance spans across telecommunications, data centers, industrial automation, and military equipment by providing structural integrity and thermal/electromagnetic management.

2. Major Types and Functional Classification

TypeFunctional FeaturesApplication Examples
Standard 19" RacksComplies with IEC 60297/2110 standards, universal mounting holes (0.625" spacing), fixed dimensionsTelecom switches, server farms
Compact PCI RacksSupports cPCI/ATCA architectures, enhanced cooling channels, hot-swappable designTelecom base stations, industrial controllers
Modular Hybrid RacksCustomizable slot configurations, mixed backplane compatibility (VME/VXS/PXIE)Test & measurement systems, R&D labs
Reinforced Military RacksMIL-STD-810G compliance, shock/vibration resistance, sealed enclosuresAerospace avionics, radar systems

3. Structure and Components

Typical construction includes:

  • Aluminum alloy or steel frame with anodized/zinc-coated surface treatment
  • Adjustable mounting rails with 0.25" pitch positioning slots
  • Integrated cable management troughs (front/rear routing channels)
  • Thermal management: variable-speed fans, heat sinks, or liquid cooling channels
  • EMI shielding gaskets and grounding lugs
  • Standard 19" width (482.6mm) with 1U (44.45mm) height increments

4. Key Technical Specifications

ParameterDescriptionImportance
Mounting Hole Pattern0.625" 0.01" spacing, M4/M6 threaded insertsComponent compatibility
Load Capacity50-150 kg static load ratingStructural reliability
Thermal Dissipation300-1500W cooling capacitySystem uptime assurance
Vibration Resistance15G shock (IEC 60068-2-27)Harsh environment stability
Material Specifications6061-T6 Aluminum/Steel Q235BCorrosion resistance

5. Application Fields

  • Telecommunications: 5G base stations, optical transport networks
  • Data Centers: Server clusters, storage arrays (e.g., AWS/Azure infrastructure)
  • Industrial Automation: PLC control cabinets, SCADA systems
  • Military/Aerospace: Avionics systems, electronic warfare platforms
  • Medical Equipment: MRI scanners, digital radiography systems

6. Leading Manufacturers and Products

RittalTS 8 Modular Rack SystemIP55 rating, 190kg load capacity
CiscoNCS 5500 Series RacksHigh-density 100Gbps routing modules

7. Selection Recommendations

Key consideration factors:

  1. Installation compatibility (IEC/EIA-310 standards compliance)
  2. Future expansion capacity (minimum 20% spare slots)
  3. Thermal management matching equipment power density
  4. Environmental protection rating (IP42 for office, IP66 for outdoor use)
  5. EMC certification (CE/FCC Part 15 Class A)
  6. Total cost of ownership (material + installation + maintenance)

8. Industry Development Trends

Key trends include:

  • Miniaturization: 5G mmWave systems driving sub-3U form factors
  • High-density integration: 30+ boards per rack in AI accelerators
  • Smart monitoring: Embedded IoT sensors for vibration/temperature telemetry
  • Green design: Passive cooling adoption reducing energy consumption by 40%
  • 3D customization: Additive manufacturing enabling complex geometry racks
