The 12-Slot Crate family provides full-size 19″ NIM infrastructures designed for laboratory and experimental setups requiring reliable power distribution, thermal management, and remote supervision of modular nuclear instrumentation. Available in ventilated and non-ventilated configurations, these crates support up to twelve standard NIM modules and offer pluggable linear or switching power supplies with power levels ranging from a few hundred watts to multi-kilowatt systems.

Advanced models integrate embedded control electronics, remote monitoring interfaces, and diagnostic tools, enabling centralized management of complex experimental racks. With robust protection mechanisms, long-life connectors, and modular fan units, the 12-slot crates ensure stable operation in both laboratory and field installations while maintaining compatibility with legacy and modern NIM
