PE-Style PIC

From JuniperClue

The PE-Style mechanical interface is similar to the P-Style. The dimensions are precisely the same; in fact, the only change is the addition of an ejector lever on the front panel, and an ejector mechanism attached to a metal plate which is added to the bottom of the PIC. The actual electronics on a PE PIC are precisely the same as a P PIC.

The PE-Style PIC was originally created for use in the M5 and M10 product lines, which have integrated FPCs. The ejector system allows for the PIC to be physically removed without pulling out the FPC, which would be impossible on the M5/M10. The M7i and M10i, which replaced the M5 and M10 products respectively, have continued to use the PE-Style PIC. The PE-Style interface is currently used only on type-1 PICs intended for use in chassis with an integrated FPC.
