Description
REF 03The RA-19C is a 25-slot conductive polypropylene rack built for high-density storage. Each slot is 2.8 mm wide with a full 8 mm depth and a tight 12.2 mm pitch, the deepest engagement and tightest packing of any rack in the slotted-edge series.
The 172 mm rack width gives a wider base than most universal racks, and the 50 mm tall body provides more structural support during stacking. Boards seat deeper and closer together than standard-pitch alternatives, perfect for high-density WIP, tight floor space, or production lines that need to maximize storage per linear foot.
Max board thickness is 2.2 mm (slightly less than RA-17C/18CP because the slot is narrower at 2.8 mm vs. 3 mm). Boards span the rack and can overhang on both sides. Conductive PP material at 10⁴–10⁶ Ω keeps boards in the conductive range from SMT placement through final inspection.

REF 12What does the “tight 12.2 mm pitch” actually buy me?
Slot pitch is the centerline-to-centerline distance between adjacent boards. Standard slotted-edge racks run 15–16 mm pitch; the RA-19C runs 12.2 mm, which fits more boards into a given linear distance. For 25-board capacity, that means a tighter footprint, valuable when bench or shelf real estate is limited, or when you need to maximize WIP density per linear foot of cart or shelving. Trade-off: less air clearance between boards, so populated boards with tall components on top should be cross-checked against component height before loading.
Why is the slot 8 mm deep? What’s the practical benefit?
The 8 mm slot depth is the deepest in the slotted-edge series (vs. 4 mm on RA-16C, 7.5 mm on RA-17C / RA-18C). Deeper engagement means the board is captured further into the rail, gravity, vibration, and component mass have a harder time walking the board out of the slot during cart transport, lift-and-carry handoffs, or shelf placement. Pick the RA-19C when boards travel rough between stations.
Why is the max board thickness 2.2 mm instead of 2.4 mm like RA-17C / RA-18C?
The slot width is 2.8 mm on the RA-19C, slightly narrower than the 3 mm slot on RA-17C / RA-18C, so the practical max board thickness drops to roughly 2.2 mm. For 2.4 mm boards (heavy-copper, multilayer), use the RA-17C. For 1.6 mm standard boards, all four RA SKUs work.
Will the RA-19C fit my SMT loader / unloader?
The RA-19C is a bench-side / shelving rack, not an in-line magazine rack, it’s designed for manual handling, dense storage, and operator-portable transport. For in-line SMT loader / unloader compatibility, look at the Gear Adjustment or Belt Adjustment magazine racks (B0103 / B0106 / B0108 / B0109 chassis with 563 mm height + 10 mm slot pitch).
Is the RA-19C ESD-safe for our EPA workstation?
Yes. System resistance is 10⁴–10⁶ Ω, which lands in the conductive band per ESD Association standards. Suitable for boards staged on EPA-controlled workstations between SMT, hand soldering, AOI, and final inspection. RoHS PASS via SGS Report No. NGBEC25007635101 (20 Nov 2025), all ten restricted substances Not Detected.
