Abstract
An avionics power management panel and door assembly where the panel includes a cabinet including a set of walls at least partially defining an interior with an open face and door assembly includes a central panel a front panel that includes a set of rows with apertures formed between two adjacent rows and where the set of rows have a crimped profile.
Claims18
A power management panel, comprising:
- an avionics power management cabinet comprising a set of walls at least partially defining an interior with an open face;
- at least one door assembly configured to mount electrical components for the power management panel, moveably mounted to the avionics power management cabinet and moveable between an opened position, where the interior is accessible, and a closed position where the door assembly closes the open face;
- a frame including a front panel spanning the frame, with the front panel having a rear-side surface and a front-side surface;
- a set of apertures defined by the front panel;
- a set of pillar spacers coupled to and extending from the rear-side surface of the front panel and configured to support one or more circuit breakers, printed circuit boards, or electrical relays;
- and
- a plate coupled to the front panel at the front-side surface;
- wherein the at least one door assembly is configured to support one or more of circuit breakers, printed circuit boards, or electrical relays.
