Overview

The nVent PKBC8R Keyboard Compartment (SKU: PKBC8R) is a sealed, self-contained module designed to securely house and protect PC keyboards in industrial control panels or enclosures. Engineered for 800mm PC setups, this compartment mounts directly to an accessory front opening, integrating seamlessly into existing enclosures. Constructed from durable 14-gauge steel with a light gray RAL 7035 textured polyester powder paint finish, the PKBC8R ensures long-lasting performance in harsh industrial environments. Key features include a lockable die-cast aluminum door with pushbutton latches, hinged along the bottom edge for convenient access.

A seamless foam-in-place gasket on the door delivers a dust-tight seal, protecting the keyboard from particulate contamination and moisture ingress. The door locks securely in position when the shelf is extended, preventing accidental retraction and ensuring stability.
