Liquid Flow-Through VITA 48.4 Cooling Technology in Rugged OpenVPX ATR Platform
Eletter Product
Power-hungry OpenVPX modules require a cooling solution guaranteed to keep the mission on course.
VITA 48.4 establishes the mechanical design interface, outline and mounting requirements for 6U OpenVPX liquid-flow-through cooled plug-in modules within associated sub-racks. While the connector layout remains common with VITA 46, VITA 48.4 standard modules are cooled by liquid flowing through an integral heatsink. Quick disconnect coupling assemblies allow fluidic coupling to the chassis manifold.
Elma Electronic’s newest rugged OpenVPX ATR platform is designed to accommodate boards requiring VITA 48.4 LFT (Liquid Flow-Through) cooling. The backplane is designed to handle 300Watts per slot, making it ideal for Liquid Flow-Through (LFT) cooling per VITA 48.4 specifications. “Clockable” guide pins are included at each slot to allow for easier keying (angle rotation) without having to deal with the removal of the backplane from chassis.
