Boards engage from both edges, not just one: 7 mm deep on the top side, 7.5 mm rounded on the bottom. They can't rock and can't walk out mid-transport.
One operator carries a fully loaded rack two-handed across doors, carts, and elevators.
Boards up to 320 × 180 mm and 2.4 mm thick, held with zero surface contact between assemblies.
Conductive polypropylene keeps boards in the safe range from SMT placement through final inspection.
External dimensions (L × W × H): 19″ × 6″ × 1″ · 480 × 140 × 35 mm
The RA-18C is a 25-slot conductive polypropylene rack with double-sided slots, boards engage from both edges, and carry handles molded into both ends.
Slots are 3 mm wide: 7 mm deep on the top side and 7.5 mm on the bottom side with a rounded profile, on a 15 mm pitch. The two-edge grip keeps two-side-populated assemblies and heavy-copper boards from rocking or walking out mid-transport, and the molded handles let one operator carry a fully loaded rack two-handed across doors, carts, and elevators.
Boards up to 320 × 180 mm and 2.4 mm thick span the 140 mm rack width and may overhang both sides. Conductive PP at 10⁴–10⁶ Ω. Best seller in the slotted-edge series, the rack of choice when transport stability matters more than maximum board face area.
