DataMetrics 1/2 ATR chassis

Product Description

DataMetrics 1/2 ATR Short Chassis (Avionics/Test Equipment Enclosure)

This is a DataMetrics 1/2 ATR short chassis, a ruggedized aluminum enclosure designed to house avionics, test equipment, or electronic modules in military, aerospace, or industrial applications. Built to the 1/2 ATR (Air Transport Rack) standard, this chassis provides a compact, standardized form factor for system integration in airborne, ground, or shipboard environments. Sold AS IS for parts, repurposing, or repair of compatible DataMetrics (or similar) systems.

• Connectors: May have cutouts or provisions for D-sub, circular, or coaxial connectors on front/rear panels

• Cooling: May include ventilation slots or fan mounts

• Applications: Housing for RF modules, power supplies, data acquisition cards, or custom avionics

Potential Uses:

• Avionics/Test Equipment Repair: Donor chassis for restoring an identical DataMetrics or 1/2 ATR system.

• Custom Enclosure Project: Repurpose as a rugged case for a DIY RF amplifier, power supply, or data logger.

• Component Salvage: Harvest rack ears, connectors, card guides, handles, and aluminum panels.

• Display/Simulation: For museum display, flight simulator hardware, or as a training prop.

Important Notes:

• Empty Shell Likely: This listing is typically for the chassis only; internal boards, power supplies, and connectors may not be present.

• Compatibility: Designed for systems using the 1/2 ATR short standard; verify dimensions match your needs.

• Modification Potential: Can be machined or drilled for custom connectors or components.
