Rugged commercial enclosures cut costs
Mektron Systems has launched a range of compact, powered COTS rugged system enclosures designed for VME applications and offering outstanding quality and versatility.
They offer outstanding quality, versatility and cost effectiveness for any VME project.
A comprehensive range of different slot width backplanes from 1- through 21-slot are available that incorporates the same ten-layer controlled impedance motherboard throughout and offers optimum configuration flexibility.
Irrespective of VME bus format, be it standard VME, VME 64 Extensions or a mixed configuration of both, the sophisticated design enables these backplanes to be manufactured from the same base board and then allows them to be configured to customer requirements at the assembly stage.
The advanced design of these backplanes also enables any environmental build level from full ruggedised Military MIL-Spec to commercial industrial standard, all from the same bare boards that are released to MIL-P-55110 and are populated from stock.
This combined approach offers optimum configurational flexibility and significantly reduced lead times whilst ensuring cost competitiveness.
Utilising industry proven and established pressfit connector technology, the Mektron Millennium backplanes can be populated with any permutation of 3- or 5-row J1/J2 or 'A'/'B' style PO connectors.
Ruggedised build level backplanes use high specification components and are conformally coated.
For high quality and reliability the commercial build level backplanes are also fitted with high specification components.
The complete range is available with automatic Bus Grant and IACK switching options.
The Millennium Series of rugged backplanes is designed to exceed the specification requirements of MIL-STD-810E with operating temperature of -55 to +105C, and ability to withstand shock to 40g for 11ms and vibration to 0.1gg/Hz (12g RMS approx).
