Scope

This part of IEC 60297 specifies the basic dimensional relationship of a modular range of subracks and associated plug-in units in compliance with the IEC 60297 series.

The purpose of this standard is to specify dimensions which will ensure dimensional interchangeability of subracks and associated plug-in units. Connector related dimensions are limited to "inspection dimensions" only.

For mechanical and climatic tests refer to IEC 61587-1.

For electromagnetic shielding performance tests refer to IEC 61587-3.

For seismic tests refer to IEC 61587-5
