Introduction to the Standards Summary
Why is Schroff committed to standards
and modular concepts?
Commercial electronic devices are investments
with relatively long life cycles, where high
reliability and availability are predominant
requirements. In order to keep the cost low and at
the same time maintain a very high quality level,
standard designs with predefined performance
levels are indispensable. Subracks, cases and
cabinets are structural parts of any equipment. The
standards philosophy allows short development
time and fast market introduction for these
products without expensive development, testing
and validation procedures.
Are standard product platforms as flexible
and cost effective as proprietary designs?
If a certain product with relatively high quantities
and a long, steady lifecycle is demanded, most
likely a proprietary design will be favorable. But
for most electronics markets the required
investments are too high for proprietary designs,
if we consider all development and sourcing costs
realistically. Standard product platforms typically
consist of a modular concept which provides a
wide variety of off-the-shelf products.
Contents of the standards summary
This standards summary is the third release with
updated contents. The purpose of this document is
to inform designers and project engineers about
the most important mechanical standards of the
globally developed and approved IEC standards in
a very condensed manner. Users are encouraged
to look up more detailed information on IEC's
Website or in other printed sources.

VME, CPCI and ATCA
In addition to IEC standards there are application
specifications created by specific market user
groups. Examples are VME, created by VITA (VME
International Trade Association) or CPCI and
ATCA, created by PICMG (PCI-International
Computer Manufacturing Group). Details of VME
and CPCI have been incorporated into the latest
IEC standards (IEC 60297-3-101 up to -103)
which opens new features for the general use in
other applications. ATCA (Advanced
Telecommunication Computing Architecture)
represents the implementation of an 8 U Eurocard
form factor into a 19", resp. a 23" wide chassis.
Board level products of ATCA will not fit into IEC
standardized subracks due to deviating
dimensional details.
ETS standards
ETS standards have been created by ETSI
(European Telecommunication Standardization
Institute) for the European Telecommunication
installations. ETS standards are closely related to
IEC standards with specific focus on telecom
requirements. While the cited IEC standards in the
table above deal with the structural properties of
the equipment design, the ETS is also specifying
the working conditions.
Scope of the standards summary
This standardization summary will present the
main contents of the relevant standards with the
intention to create better understanding of the
correlations and application aspects. For the full
contents the IEC Web site will provide all
necessary information.
IEC standards
The globalization of the commercial electronics
market creates a demand for internationally valid
standards. Time-to-market and development
expenses of an electronic device force application
engineers to use off-the-shelf products rather than
design proprietary packaging solutions.
Recently developed Electronic Packaging standards
comprise dimensional specifications and
- on a higher level - the criteria for physical
integrity, electromagnetic compatibility and
thermal management.
With regard to such comprehensive market
requirements the technical subcommittee 48D of
the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) created a whole new series of standards.

1.01 Overview of the 482,6 mm (19") standard series IEC 60297-3-101
Width:
The overall width behind the mounting flanges
(incl. screws) shall be max. 449 mm. The subrack
aperture width is subdivided by a modular pitch of
1 HP = 5,08 mm (2/10").
Height:
The subrack total height is defined by a multiple of
a unit of 1 U = 44,45 mm (1 3/4").
19" system dimensions and definitions
The width over the mounting flanges is 482,6 mm
(19"), which created the term 19" system.
Depth:
The subrack total depth is not explicitly specified
by the standard. The individual dimensions
depend on the board depth, rear connector tails or
rear input/output plug-in units.
A slot is a multiple of horizontal pitches and may
be different in specific applications.
A board type plug-in unit consists of a printed
board fitted with a front panel and a connector. The
subrack aperture dimensions on the front are
mirrored to the rear in case of rear mounted plug-
in units.
A box type plug-in unit is typically housing
bulky components or multiples of boards.

Height:
1 U = 44,45 mm. Nominal: (44,45 - 0,8) ± 0,4
3 U = (3 x 44,45 - 0,8) ± 0,4 = 132,55 ± 0,4
Note:
The height dimension 100,2 + 0,5 is derived from the
printed board height dimension and a min.
tolerance of 0,2 mm. The max. tolerance of
0,2 + 0,5 = 0,7 mm includes the clearance
tolerance of the subrack horizontal members.
Width:
482,6 mm ± 0,4.
Mounting grid for front panels: 5,08 mm.

1.03 Guide rail dimensions
Printed board thickness is in general 1,6 mm.
Thicker boards are possible but need to be agreed
between contracting parties. If two part
connectors are used the increased thickness shall
be opposite to the reference plane of the board
(Ref. plane = ref. to first pitch line).

Dimensions:
The printed board dimensions are defined as the
base of the "Eurocard" form factor
(H = 100 x D = 160 mm).
Height:
The height increments are in accordance to the
units of the subrack (1 U = 44,45 mm). The table
shows the most popular board formats.
1.04 Printed boards
The printed board dimensions are specified in
IEC 60297-3-101. The figure below shows a
typical 6 U board.
Thickness:
The thickness of a board is, if nothing specifically
required, 1,6 mm. Thicker boards should be
agreed between user and vendor with respect to
the accessories concerned, e. g. guide rails.
IEC 60297-3-101 as the relevant standard for 19"
based subracks deals with two part connectors of
the series IEC 60603-2, IEC 61076-4-113 and
IEC 61076-4-101. Other connectors may
influence the board or subrack depth dimensions.

1.05 Connectors and backplanes
11
The connectors of the above described IEC series
fit on the backplane within the same slot width but
with different reference dimensions of the contact
grids to the pitch line. The contact grid in figure 6a
is 2,54 mm and 2 mm in figure 6b.
Typical applications for the IEC 60603-2 and
IEC 61076-4-113 series are VME 64 and 64X.
IEC 61076-4-101 series connectors are used for
Compact PCI.
The formula for H1: n x U - 4,8.
Example for 3 U = 3 x 44,45 - 4,8 = 128,55.
The formula for H2: n x U - 10,85 =
3 x 44,45 - 10,85 = 122,5.

1.06 Subrack depth mounting dimensions
Inspection dimensions for the subrack rear
depth DR from the rear attachment plane to
the backplane attachment
Application example VME
The formula for connectors type IEC 60603-2 and
61067-4-113 is:
DR = printed board depth + 22,48
(e. g. 80 + 22,48 = 102,48).
Application example CPCI
The formula for connectors type
IEC 61067-4-101 is:
DR = printed board depth + 20
(e. g. 80 + 20 = 100).
Inspection dimensions for the subrack
front depth D from the front attachment
plane to the backplane attachment
The formular for connectors type IEC 60603-2 and
61067-4-113 (application example VME) is the
same as for connectors type IEC 61076-4-101
(application example CPCI):
D = printed board depth + 15,6
(e. g. 160 + 15,6 = 175,6).
Inspection dimensions for the shroud DS
from the rear front panel attachment to the
bottom of the shroud
Application example VME
The formula for connectors on the rear plug-in unit
type IEC 60603-2 (inverted version) is:
DS = printed board depth + 10,28
(e. g. 80 + 10,28 = 90,28).
Application example VME 64 extension
The formula for connectors type IEC 61076-4-113 is:
DS = printed board depth + 12,78.
Application example CPCI
The formula for connectors type
IEC 61067-4-101 is:
DS = printed board depth + 12,14.
The max. thickness of the backplane should not
exceed 6 mm.

Explanations for the rear arrangement of
plug-in units
For I/O interface the rear plug-in units are fitted
with the inverted versions of the cited connector
types. This allows the plug-in function to be
directly on the tails of the front connectors
protruding from the backplane. The shroud is used
as a mechanical support to align the rear plug-in
function and to protect the tails from damage.

1.08 Dimensions of subrack associated plug-in units
Plug-in units
Subrack related plug-in units are the sub-
assemblies of a subrack. There are principally two
versions: The printed board type and the box type
plug-in units.
The printed board type plug-in unit consists
of a printed board as the carrier of the circuitry
and the electronic components including the
connector and a front panel.
The box type plug-in unit usually consists of a
metal housing in which one or more printed
boards may be located. The front panel and the
connector positioning follows the same
dimensional rules as those applying to the printed
board type plug-in units.
The drawings above illustrate the dimensional
rules of the front panels within the pitch lines of
a subrack and the reference fixing points for
printed boards at the rear of a front panel. Detail X

replaced by individual fasteners if agreed between
vendor and user.

1.09 Subrack/front panel shielding interface dimensions
15
Subrack/front panel shielding
Shielding measures against high frequency
interference are defined by standardized
dimensions on the front area only. Other areas of
a subrack are not critical regarding the
compatibility of plug-in units and are therefore left
to individual measures. If rear plug-in units are
used the dimensions of the front area should be
mirrored.
Missing dimensions see IEC 60297-3-101.

1.10 Subrack/plug-in unit electrostatic discharge provisions (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge
IEC 60297-3-101 describes an optional method of
electrostatic discharge. It is a contact clip which
can be placed into the guide rails, close to the
front of the subrack. Usually the guide rails are
made of insulating material and if prepared
accordingly by the vendor, the same guide rails
will mostly accept the ESD clip even when
retrofitted.
For the proper function the clip has to connect to
grounded parts of the subrack and to conductive
sections on the printed board. In order to avoid
discharge sparks a discharge resistor should be
used on the printed board.

1.11 Subrack/plug-in unit keying and alignment pin
17
Keying and alignment pin
IEC 60297-3-103 describes an arrangement of
keying and alignment between the plug-in unit
front panel and the subrack. This method of keying
was chosen for the standard instead of connector
related solutions for the benefit of maximum
design freedom on the backplane. The alignment
pin is designed for the correct positioning of EMC
shielded front panels and in specific applications
as a discharge pin between the front panel and the
subrack. For both solutions, keying and alignment,
caution is needed when chosing the subrack and
the front panels since retrofitting might become
very costly.

1.12 Subrack dimensions for the 25 mm series, IEC 60917-2-2
Metric Equipment Practice
In the mid 80's the standardization within IEC
generated a new equipment standard based on the
vision of a true three dimensional structure with a
homogeneous metric system grid. The envisaged
benefits were mainly CAD-CAM oriented and
general design improvements with regard to some
weak points in the existing 19" standard. As a
result the IEC 60917 series was developed,
comprising cabinet and subrack application
dimensions and also general rules for further
equipment standard developments. The main
system grid is 25 mm with subdivisions of 2,5 and
0,5 mm.

1.13 Subrack dimensions for ETS 300 119-4 (European Telecom Standards)
19
Subracks of the ETS standard
In the early 90's the European Telecommunications
Standardization Institute developed the
ETS 300 119 series for their specific technical
needs and also for better coordination between the
developments of equipment within the joining
countries. The contents of the mechanical
specifications take care of the compatibility of
subrack type equipment and the installation
requirements for racks and cabinets. The ETS
standard represents an excerpt of the 25 mm
metric standard (IEC 60917 series) for
compatibility reasons on subrack level but it
leaves out more details as for subrack related
plug-in units. The ETS standard also allows for
adaptation between metric and 19" subracks.
