The front panel is an important component for many electrical systems, enabling operators to access the internal components with ease. However, the front panel needs to be secure, while also facilitating ease of use to ensure that the equipment functions properly. This is where front panel hardware comes into play.
Front panel hardware is a general term that is used to describe any fastener or related product that either fastens or provides access to electrical components or systems. Because this category covers so many different products, front panel hardware can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, configurations, and materials. Some of these components include:
- Handles
- Knobs
- Screws
- Fan guards
- Fuse clips and holders
- Pins, plugs, sockets, and jacks
- D subminiature connectors
Front panel hardware is especially common in computer systems. In this type of application, the front panel serves as a way to access internal computer components, making upgrades or repairs easier to perform. However, many other industries and applications take advantage of front panel hardware, such as in military or industrial applications.
