VME PCB MOUNTING BRACKETS
It is possible to use two types of PCB mounting bracket with VME PCBs. The
normal PCB mounting bracket (173-12525B) should be used with 4HP wide
panels and the VME mounting bracket below used for 8HP wide panels enabling
wire wrap spills to be utilized and still obtaining compatibility with the committed
VME backplane.
