Essentra Adhesive-Backed Vertical Mount PCB Card Guide, 204 mm Length, 1.6 mm PCB Thickness, PCG3A X 204MM

The Essentra PCG3A X 204MM is a high-quality adhesive-backed vertical mount PCB card guide designed for professional electronics applications. This model supports printed circuit boards up to 1.6 mm thick, providing a secure and precise mounting solution for both assembly and prototyping workflows.

With a total length of 204 mm, the card guide is adept at accommodating standard PCB form factors. Its adhesive-backed design enables tool-free installation onto chassis or enclosures, reducing assembly time and improving convenience for engineers and technicians. The large self-adhesive surface ensures a stable bond, minimizing unwanted movement or vibration during use.

Essentra's design incorporates robust edge retention, ensuring PCBs remain properly seated and aligned. This particular model is ideal for vertical mounting scenarios where space optimization and repeated board insertion/removal are needed, such as in modular racks or benchtop test fixture applications. The guide's construction is tailored for electronics manufacturing, prototyping environments, and high-reliability ESD control areas, supporting safe and repeatable handling of sensitive circuit boards.

For installations requiring different geometries, Type 2 adhesive guides (204 mm L x 15 mm W x 8 mm H) securely hold 1.6 mm PCBs at their edges, while an alternate Type 3 profile (204 mm L x 21 mm W x 13 mm H) is available for horizontal hold-down applications.

Common industrial applications include PCB assembly lines, laboratory setups, electronics manufacturing services, and cleanroom environments where non-intrusive, flexible mounting is essential. This product is RoHS-compliant, and its usage helps facilitate rapid, damage-free board handling.
