Enclosure Seeks Critical Apps May 2005 Issue Published Date: May 09, 2005
A new powered enclosure has been designed to enhance performance and durability in critical military and aerospace applications. The D+1600 enclosure’s design meets current IEEE1101.10/IEEE1101.11 specifications, MIL-specs for shock and vibration, and EIA/IEC rack mount standards. A solid aluminum construction provides structural integrity and increased protection of boards under rigorous use. A stainless steel inject/eject plate provides up to 104 lbs. of insertion force, withstanding unlimited injection/ejection cycles of boards with high connector pin counts. The patented extruded aluminum card guide system will not flex or break like plastic and maximizes cooling airflow between the card guides. An aluminum housing with powder coat finish and stainless steel hardware is said to ensure superior durability in harsh environments. Models D+1605 and D+1607 accommodate up to five or seven horizontal mount 6U 4HP boards, respectively. Both models include ball bearing fans, an auto-ranging power supply and either a VME64X or cPCI backplane. Options include a rear mounted 80 mm I/O plug-in unit and choice of power supply up to 500W.
