Microchassis

October 1, 2008

Tripe E Corp. (Lowell, MA) has introduced a 2U microchassis for military, aerospace, and other harsh environment applications. The rack-mount unit features a flange that spans the entire depth of the unit, two fans, and all-aluminum guide decks. It protects boards from vibration damage, incorporates left-toright cooling and maximum airflow between slots for protection against heat build-up, and supports the weight of the unit in a 2U package size.

The fully powered microchassis features 3U, 300-watt, PICMG 2.11-compliant, dual-redundant power supplies. Cooling is achieved with two high-speed 12VDC 84CFM fans in push-pull configuration, and are attached to side rack angles for service. Sensors monitor PCB and PSU temperature and are connected to a fan controller to maintain operating temperatures. Units comply with UL, EN, and CE specs. Options include VME64X, cPCI, or PICMG2.16 backplanes. Units accommodate up to four 6U × 1.6 mm × 160 mm boards in front, and four 6U × 1.6 mm × 80 mm direct plug-in rear transition boards.
