Cooling Profile

Forced-air convection via integrated plenum chambers or liquid-cooled cold plates

Structural Payload Capacity

Up to 120 kg (265 lbs) static load / 80 kg (176 lbs) dynamic shock load

Dimensional Tolerances

Precision tolerances within ±0.05mm for critical alignment rails and mounting holes

Hardware & Fasteners

Captive stainless steel screws, helicoil inserts, and self-locking aerospace fastners

IP Rating

IP65 equivalent for environmental sealing against dust, moisture, and cockpit spills

Weight Efficiency

Lightweight design optimized to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and fuel consumption

Grounding & Bonding

Multi-point low-resistance bonding studs meeting MIL-B-5087B requirements

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Are Frigate’s electronic equipment racks fully compliant with ARINC and MIL-STD standards?

Yes, our aerospace racks are explicitly manufactured and tested to meet ARINC 404A, ARINC 600, and MIL-STD-810H standards. We provide complete compliance documentation, material mill certificates, and testing reports during shipping to ensure smooth qualification testing for your system integration.

Can you customize the internal layout and cable routing for unique avionics setups?

Absolutely. Through our Design for Manufacturing (DFM) review, we customize internal mounting rails, custom cutouts, integrated plenum cooling chambers, and dedicated wire raceways. We work directly with your CAD files to map out connector orientations and eliminate interference during installation.

What surface treatments do you apply to guarantee corrosion resistance and EMI shielding?

We offer dual-layer surface protection, beginning with a MIL-DTL-5541 Type II chromate conversion coating for electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. This is followed by a durable epoxy powder coating on external surfaces, leaving mask-off areas at ground points to maintain a low-resistance EMI shield.

How does Frigate handle structural testing for high-vibration flight profiles?

We integrate structural analysis directly into the design phase and support physical validation, including shake table testing, resonant frequency sweeps, and shock testing. Our designs incorporate specialized isolators and high-strength welding to protect sensitive electronics against multi-axis flight vibrations.

What are the typical raw material choices available for weight reduction?

While aerospace-grade 6061-T6 and 7075 aluminum are standard, we also manufacture using advanced Aluminum-Lithium alloys. These alloys provide a significant reduction in overall mass alongside higher strength and stiffness, directly addressing critical aerospace payload and fuel-efficiency goals.
