Options for the Type VII handles include coding/keying, a micro-switch for live insertion, and an ESD pin. With the handles’ long design, there is also space for adding the customer’s logo. Painting and silk-screening are optional. Suitable for the high connector insertion forces of 6U plug-in boards, the Type VII can also be used in 3U OpenVPX designs where minimal front I/O is required.
Pixus also offers short OpenVPX handles with a push-button and rugged metal claw. The company further provides faceplates, ESD clips, card guides, rails, and other board/enclosure components.
