Shielded Chassis for STICK-ON Module

The RDL STS-RF1 is an aluminum chassis designed to mount one compatible STICK-ON module while providing shielding that suppresses radio frequency interference. External audio, power-supply, and control signals connect to the installed module through specialized radio-frequency suppression filters. A detachable terminal block handles external wiring, while a large grounding screw above the terminal block provides a dedicated connection point for cable shields.

Ideal Use Cases

The STS-RF1 is recommended for installations where excessive radio-frequency interference is anticipated. This includes locations affected by sources such as WiFi transmitters. It is compatible with all STICK-ON modules except STICK-ON power amplifiers, making it suitable when a supported module needs a shielded mounting enclosure and filtered connections. Its compact dimensions also make it applicable where installation space is limited but a securely mounted chassis is required.

Why Choose This Model

This chassis combines module mounting, radio-frequency shielding, filtered signal entry, cable-shield grounding, and surface-mounting provisions in one purpose-built design. The aluminum enclosure surrounds a single STICK-ON module, while specialized suppression filters are used at the external audio, power-supply, and control connections. These features directly address installations in which external wiring or nearby transmitters may introduce unwanted radio-frequency interference.

The detachable terminal block provides the connection point for external wiring. Cable shields terminate separately at the large grounding screw positioned above that block. This arrangement gives installers clearly defined locations for signal wiring and shield grounding within the chassis design.

Installation and Integration

The STS-RF1 accommodates one STICK-ON module. Before installation, confirm that the selected module is not a STICK-ON power amplifier, since power-amplifier models are excluded from the stated compatibility. External audio, power-supply, or control wiring connects through the detachable terminal block and the chassis’s specialized radio-frequency suppression filtering. Cable shields connect to the grounding screw located above the terminal block.

Tabs incorporated into the cover allow the complete chassis to be mounted securely to any flat surface. The enclosure measures 5.64 inches wide by 4.38 inches deep by 1.59 inches high, or 14.33 by 11.13 by 4.04 centimeters. These measurements can be used to plan mounting clearance and wiring access before positioning the chassis.

Performance Highlights

The central performance function of the STS-RF1 is radio-frequency interference suppression for a mounted STICK-ON module. The aluminum chassis provides shielding, and external signal paths pass through specialized radio-frequency suppression filters before reaching the module. Supported external connections include audio, power-supply, and control signals.

The grounding screw adds a defined termination point for cable shields. Together, the shielded enclosure, filtered connections, and shield-grounding provision form a coordinated approach to installations where elevated radio-frequency interference is expected. RDL specifically recommends this model for environments affected by sources such as WiFi transmitters.

What Makes It Different

The STS-RF1 is more than a basic mounting enclosure. Its design integrates radio-frequency shielding with suppression-filtered connections for multiple signal categories. The detachable terminal block supports external wiring, and the separate, large grounding screw is positioned directly above it for cable-shield connections. Cover-mounted tabs further distinguish the chassis by providing an integrated method for securing it to a flat installation surface.

Compatibility across all STICK-ON modules other than STICK-ON power amplifiers gives the chassis a clearly defined role within the STICK-ON product range. It is designed specifically for a single module rather than for unspecified equipment or multiple-module installations.

Final Assessment

The RDL STS-RF1 is a focused installation accessory for mounting one compatible STICK-ON module in locations where radio-frequency interference is a concern. Its aluminum construction, specialized suppression filters, detachable terminal block, dedicated cable-shield grounding screw, and flat-surface mounting tabs bring the required connection and mounting functions together in a compact chassis. For supported STICK-ON applications exposed to sources such as WiFi transmitters, it provides the shielding and filtered interface described for the installation.
