The RA-17C is an ESD-safe deep-slot rack for thicker boards. Each of its 25 slots is 3.2 mm wide and 7.7 mm deep, on a 16 mm pitch, taking boards up to 2.4 mm thick and 400 × 220 mm. Operating range is −10 °C to +80 °C (14 °F to 176 °F). It ships as a pack of 10 and needs no assembly.

Nearly twice the depth of a standard slot. Populated and heavy-copper boards stay seated through bench-to-bench transport, no tipping, no walking out.
Boards up to 400 × 220 mm, held with zero surface contact between assemblies.
Heavy-copper and multilayer boards fit with clearance, and standard 1.6 mm boards ride in the same rack.
Conductive polypropylene keeps boards in the safe range from SMT placement through final inspection.
External dimensions (L × W × H): 17″ × 6″ × 1″ · 435 × 160 × 30 mm
The RA-17C is a 25-slot conductive polypropylene rack for thicker PCBs, up to 2.4 mm: heavy-copper, multilayer, or populated assemblies.
Each slot is 3.2 mm wide and 7.7 mm deep, nearly twice the depth of a standard slot, on a 16 mm pitch. That extra depth is what keeps populated and heavy boards seated through bench-to-bench transport: no tipping, no walking out of the slot mid-handoff.
Boards up to 400 × 220 mm span the 160 mm rack width and may overhang both sides. Conductive PP at 10⁴–10⁶ Ω, the dissipative band under ANSI/ESD S541, keeps boards protected from SMT placement through final inspection. The deep-slot pick when one line runs both standard 1.6 mm and heavier 2.4 mm boards.
