Abstract
An abrasion control apparatus allowing a drawer member of an electronic enclosure to be inserted into a receptacle wherein the contacting sides of the drawer member and receptacle are made of aluminized steel. The invention includes a double thick side of the receptacle; the side of the receptacle which comes in contact with the side of the drawer member having a window in which is placed a plastic wear strip. The abrasion control apparatus further includes wear strips in a notched portion of the side of the receptacle and a bottom of the receptacle such that contact is prevented between the drawer and the metal sides of the receptacle as the drawer member is inserted into the receptacle.
