The National Instruments SCXI-1373 Chassis Panel-Mount Kit (Part Number: 776577-73) is engineered to provide secure mounting for both 4-slot and 12-slot SCXI chassis, facilitating an organized setup conducive to various industrial and laboratory applications. The kit includes essential hardware components such as two rack-mount brackets, thumbscrews (No. 6-32 and No. 8-32), screws (No. 10-32), nuts, and lock washers, which are designed to minimize movement and vibration that could disrupt the performance of the mounted modules. The SCXI system, a hallmark in signal conditioning and data collection, relies on this kit to ensure stability and accuracy, pivotal for dependable data acquisition from a wide array of sensors and transducers.

Optimally designed for challenging environmental conditions, the SCXI-1373 kit operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C, with storage capabilities from -40 °C to 85 °C. It meets IP40 ingress protection standards, making it suitable for environments exposed to dust and particulates. Furthermore, it performs effectively in high humidity conditions, boasting an operational humidity range of 10% RH to 90% RH, non-condensing, and a storage range of 5% RH to 95% RH, non-condensing. The SCXI-1373 kit is also constructed to withstand substantial shock and vibrations, compliant with IEC 60068 standards (5 grms, 5 g, 30 g, 50 g), and is rated for use at altitudes of up to 5,000 meters. This versatility solidifies the SCXI-1373 as an essential component of the SCXI system, enabling enhanced signal integrity and system performance.
