Schneider PCBALU200X TSX Compact Aluminium Plate

Technical Specifications

Physical Construction and Material Quality

This PCBALU200X TSX compact aluminium plate measures 11.2 inches in length. Its width reaches 6.8 inches with a thickness of 0.2 inches. The total weight comes to approximately 1.85 pounds. Manufacturers constructed this plate from 6061 aluminum alloy for strength. An anodized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. The surface finish protects against oxidation in industrial environments.

Mechanical Properties and Thermal Performance

PCBALU200X offers impressive mechanical strength for its weight. Minimum tensile strength reaches 310 megapascals for durability. The Brinell hardness rating measures 95 for wear resistance. Thermal conductivity reaches 167 watts per meter-kelvin. This high conductivity dissipates heat from mounted electronic modules. Consequently, the plate acts as an effective heatsink for TSX Compact components.

Mounting Configuration and Hole Pattern

The aluminum plate features eight pre-drilled mounting holes for convenience. Four holes occupy the four corners of the rectangular plate. Four additional holes sit at mid-span positions along each edge. Each hole measures 0.2 inches or 5 millimeters in diameter. You can mount CPU modules, I/O cards, and power supplies directly. The hole pattern matches standard TSX Compact equipment footprints. Therefore, installation requires no custom drilling or modifications.

Application Use and System Integration

You will use this plate as a mounting backplane for TSX Compact systems. It supports vertical or horizontal orientation inside control cabinets. The PCBALU200X operates reliably from -40°C to 120°C ambient. For example, you can mount it in outdoor enclosures or hot environments. The plate does not contain any electronic components or energy storage. Consequently, this aluminium plate provides a simple mechanical foundation for Schneider automation hardware.
