Conduction Cooled Chassis Delivers 135W January 2004 Issue Published Date: January 13, 2004
The Air Transport Rack (ATR) 3/4-size chassis can provide up to 135W of power in a 50°C ambient environment. Temperature is kept under control by way of optimized heat spreaders, and the chassis is dip brazed to provide a completely sealed enclosure that further aids in the natural convection process. The chassis supports the DIN mechanical spec, which allows the unit to accommodate VME, VME64X and CompactPCI backplanes. Custom backplane configurations are also available, as well as thermal simulation and an Icepak Thermal Model. Additionally, the ATR series meets the requirements of the ARINC 404A/MIL-STD-91403 standard. Single-unit prices start at $12,900. The ATR chassis is also available in full and 1-1/2 sizes.
