6U VPX Load Board for Conduction Cooled Chassis

Elma Bustronic Corp.'s 6U VPX Load Board in a conduction-cooledformat is designed per the IEEE standard 1101.2 mechanicalformat.

Theconduction-cooled VPX load board helps confirm the chassis meets the VITA46/48/65 power specifications for VPX and aids in locating hot spots within theenclosure. It helps test a system's coolingcapabilities by applying the load to the power supply for verification andcreating the necessary heat to confirm chassis cooling. The board features external voltage monitoring, loadstepping, and GO-NO-GO indicator LEDs.

The conduction-cooled load cardhas a microcontroller-based stepped load control to 100W maximum. Thevoltage rotary switch has settings for 3.3, 5, 12V, +12V_Aux, - 12 /48V, and Sys Reset. The set load power levels are saved in EEPROM. Bustronicalso offers VPX load boards in a 3U form factor and 6U air cooled formats.

Thelead-time is 2-3 weeks ARO.
