Our solid extruded aluminum handles Are creating a new standard for IEEE 1101.1 and IEEE 1101.10 Front Panels

Triple E handles feature a lifetime warranty against breakage…

For rugged commercial, industrial and COTS front panel applications, Triple E is the only choice for your VME, VME64x, VXI, PXI and cPCI handle needs. Triple E's patented, extruded aluminum handles boast superior strength and durability, providing almost unlimited PCB extraction cycles. Triple E's handles are fully compliant with the mechanical specifications of IEEE1101.1 and IEEE1101.10.

VME(IEEE1101.1) handles are available in single, twin and quad cam designs that help apply even pressure when extracting single or multiple boards. Handles are available in standard, low profile and high force versions to meet specific application requirements.

Today's high density cPCI and VME64x backplane connectors can exceed 150 pounds of force for board insertion / extraction. Unlike breakable plastic handles, our extruded aluminum IEEE1101.10 handles offer customers durability for confident injection / ejection. Special care was given to the profile of our aluminum inject / eject handles to ensure conformance to true U-height requirements even with the handle in the open position.

VME (IEEE 1101.1) Handles

   VME Single CAM Style

Triple E continues it’s tradition of rugged, extruded aluminum Eurocage components with the introduction of the Triple*Ease™ Single CAM ejector handle. This extruded aluminum handle is backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage. The Single CAM handles are a direct replacement for many plastic handles of similar design from other manufactures so there is no need to change your front panel design. Specify the Triple*Ease™ Single CAM VME ejector handles, they won’t break, bend, out-gas, melt or burn. Contact your local manufactures representative or factory for ordering guide.

Also with a lifetime warranty against breakage, the Triple*Ease™ Twin CAM design (pictured above) reduces parts count and assembly time compared with single CAM handles. Available in many widths from 4HP up to 16HP, Triple*Ease™ extruded handles offer uniform extraction of large modules and stacked circuit cards. When using front panels that are 8HP or larger, we recommend using our QUAD CAM ejector handle (pictured below) for uniform extraction of boards.

When using tall 9U cards and you need that extra extraction force, try the Triple*Ease™ low profile long handle.

Triple E offers a variety of fixed metal handles that utilize a lineal thread for ease of assembly to any panel. Designed to accept a 2,5mm x 8mm screw.

The handle coupler is a unique design that allows joining of multiple front panels. This coupler slides over Twin CAM handles and is held in place with set screws. Couplers are extruded aluminum and available in various widths and powder coat finishes.

CompactPCI / VME64x (IEEE 1101.10) Handles

Triple E offers the first all metal IEEE1101.10 handle, a significant improvement compared to conventional plastic handles. Extremely strong, Triple*Ease™ inject / eject aluminum handles are backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage. Unlike plastic handles, the solid metal design eliminates risk of out-gassing or burning in harsh or extreme environments. A stainless steel leaf spring will not wear out like conventional plastic types.
