The Curtiss-Wright / ACRA Control Spare Filler Panel is a passive chassis accessory engineered to occupy empty user-slots within the KAM-500 13 User-Slot Chassis. This component maintains proper internal airflow distribution and prevents dust and debris ingress, protecting internal components and ensuring system longevity when user-slots remain unpopulated.
Technical Specifications
• Chassis Compatibility: KAM-500 13 User-Slot Chassis (KAM/CHS/13U)
• Construction Material: Aluminum alloy
• Form Factor: Single user-slot filler panel
• Mounting: Secures via existing module retention mechanisms
• Finish: Typically black or electroless nickel-plated
– Key Features
• Maintains directed airflow within the chassis cavity
• Seals empty slots to prevent environmental contamination
• Direct replacement for unpopulated user modules
• Ensures chassis remains a complete, protected unit
• Aluminum construction for thermal and mechanical stability
– Typical Applications
Filler panels are deployed in KAM-500 systems where one or more user-slots will not be populated by operational modules. They are essential in systems requiring selective module configurations while maintaining thermal management and environmental protection standards.
– Compatibility & Integration
The filler panel is purpose-designed for the KAM-500 13 User-Slot Chassis and integrates with the existing slot framework without modification. When optional heat sinks (ACC/HSK/001/13U) are added to chassis sides, overall system width increases; filler panels remain compatible with this configuration.
