Elma Now Shipping Uniquely Designed Conduction-cooled 1/2 ATR Box
with 6-slot 3U VPX Backplane
Configuration ensures fast removal of dissipated heat
Bedford, England, February 2011 – Elma Electronic, a leading supplier of
embedded products and systems solutions built on open standards-based
platforms like CompactPCI, ATCA, VME and VPX, has released a new 1/2 ATR
conduction-convection cooled enclosure with a unique, advanced airflow design
that distributes air across external fins in sidewalls.
This new configuration helps to ensure fast removal of dissipated heat, yet still
maintain a low profile design. It ships with a 6-slot 3U OpenVPX (VITA 65)
backplane on 1” pitch; it is also available with either a 3U cPCI backplane or a
single-width MicroTCA backplane. The unit also offers the choice of a fixed
mount or plug-in 28 VDC power supply.
Elma’s 1/2 ATR box is ideal for projects with weight restrictions; the unit weighs
only 12.5 pounds prior to power supply or payload.
The all-aluminum ATR is made from milled plates as well as punched and
formed sheet metal. The main body is dip-brazed for optimum heat
conductivity. The conduction-cooled card cage is completely sealed off to keep
the electronic components in a clean environment.
A removable front panel allows I/O customization to exact application
requirements. Narrow screw spacing ensures high EMC shielding compliance
to MIL-STD 461E. The enclosure meets ARINC 404A and ANSI/VITA 48.2
standards.
