EIA-310-D - Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
Scope
This standard is intended to provide overall design requirements for Cabinets, Panels, Racks and Subracks. When specifications are developed from this standard, agreements for that unit shall be made between the supplier and user.
Sectional Descriptions
Section 1
Description: This section is the soft metric conversion of the superseded EIA-310-C to conform with U.S. Public Law 100-418.
Section 2
Description: This section is an adaptation of IEC 917 recommendations for Cabinets, Racks and Panels. It is compatible with the IEC 25 millimeter practices. Type A is the preferred Cabinet and Rack Standard with no restrictions placed on overall width, height or depth. Key interfaces control the dimensions.
Type B is similar to Type A, with restrictions on overall width, height, and depth. This type should be used when equipment is in an environment that must comply with IEC 917: Modular Order.
Type C is similar to Type B except it permits extended doors, panels, tops and other protrusions such as handles.
Racks are open cabinets, which in general conform to Type A cabinets. (See 4.2.)
Section 3
Description: This Section may be applied in all fields of electronics conform to the IEC 25 millimeter practices. The purpose of this Section is to ensure the mechanical interchangeability of panels and subracks with cabinets and racks .
