The RM1U1922VBK is a 1U rack-mount or desktop instrument enclosure from the RM Series, built from extruded aluminum with vented top and bottom panels. Its overall dimensions are 1.75 in (44 mm) high, 16.60 in (422 mm) wide and 22.00 in (559 mm) deep, and it is intended for electronics designers, OEM engineers and test and measurement builders who need a compact 1U chassis that mounts in a 19" rack or sits on a bench.

Construction uses a Type 6063 extruded aluminum frame, with extruded aluminum side, front and rear panels 0.125" (3.2 mm) thick and flat 5052-H32 aluminum top and bottom panels .064" (1.6 mm) thick. The enclosure is finished in rugged textured black powder coat. The vented top and bottom panels are perforated with 4.50 mm (0.177 in) holes over a 373.06 mm [14.688 in] x 406.02 mm [15.985 in] area, for applications that need ventilation through the case. The solid-panel version is RM1U1922SBK. Because of the powder coat, panels are not grounded to the frame and the grounding method is to be determined by the customer.

As a full-width version, the RM1U1922VBK includes one pair of 19" rack mounting ears; the drawing shows a 482.61 mm [19.000 in] overall width across the ears and a 415.30 mm [16.350 in] front panel. It accepts the 1427B2BK pull handle, and for 4-post racks the RM1U18BRKT adjustable-depth rear bracket kit (sold in pairs) adds up to 16.00 in (406 mm) of support depth. It can also be used without the brackets as a desktop case.

The knockdown design ships unassembled for easy handling and shipping protection, with interchangeable front and rear, top and bottom, and side panels, four self-adhesive rubber feet and size-specific assembly hardware including screws and speed nuts. It ships in a box at 6.79 lbs (3.08 kg), is RoHS and REACH compliant and is manufactured in North America.
