Verotec today unveiled new 3U 4HP versions of the EPLAX VeroPower family of 19 inch subrack pluggable AC/DC switched mode power supplies to add further capability to its KM6 subrack and metal enclosure families. At only 4HP (0.8 inches) wide and a standard 160mm deep, the new units are the slimmest available from any manufacturer, leaving the maximum possible space in the subrack for active system boards.

Open frame racks are useful when all round access is required, for example in IT applications for housing patch panels and in development labs where access for testing is important, Verotec has announced two low cost units specifically developed to serve these types of applications: the Commsrak wall mounted unit and the Labrak360 floor-standing unit.

Verotec has introduced new versions of its intelligent and standard fan trays that offer increased airflow and lower noise from the same fans. The intelligent versions now have a higher maximum operating temperature of 70°C, achieved through uprated PSUs and software enhancements.

Verotec’s H family of horizontal chassis provide a “plug ’n ’play” environment for hardware and software developers and system integrators using either cPCI or VME64x architectures. The chassis, which mount PCBs horizontally, are complete with a PSU, thermal management and have good EMC shielding.

Verotec has introduced a slimline wall mounted enclosure, a versatile enclosure that houses electronic or electrical equipment mounted on 1U or 2U 19” panels, which fit vertically into the two separate 2.5U deep panel mountings in the unit. It is also ideal for use as horizontal breakout cabinets or as distribution units in structured cabling systems employing either copper or fibre media.

Verotec has developed eleven new models in four families of integrated development systems for stand-alone desktop or rack mount environments. Equally suitable for the hardware/software development environment and for use as the packaging for the finished system, the modular units are configured from the company’s standard ranges of enclosures, subracks, backplanes, thermal management products and power supplies.

Verotec offers four different variants of KM6 subracks, each optimised for specific applications. All meet IEC60297-3, are the most versatile and configurable systems on the market and are available ex-stock with no minimum order value.

Verotec has introduced its TecSYS VPX Development Platform, developed to address the issue of the lack of a suitable entry-level development platform that provides a basic physical environment for software development and board integration. A modular system assembled from standard building blocks, the TecSYS is user-configurable around the default options if required.

Verotec has extended its range of modular pluggable power converters with the introduction of 11 new models specifically designed to be fully compliant with the PICMG 2.11 Power Interface specification. To meet the cPCI high current requirements on the 3.3 and 5V rails, the units feature two independent converters operating in parallel, enabling, for example, the 300W unit to provide 30A at 5V and 40A at 3.3V simultaneously.

Verotec has continued its international expansion with the formation of a new French subsidiary, which will provide increased technical and commercial support for new and existing French customers. Located near Paris, Verotec SAS is headed up by Patrick Antoszczyk, who has more than seven years’ experience in the French electronics packaging market.

Verotec has extended its range of standard 2- and 4-rail plug-in modules for its KM6-II, KM6-RF, KM6-EC and KM6-HD subrack families and has introduced a new fast response design and manufacture service for fully custom plug-in units to complement its long-established modification services. All modules are fully compatible with IEC 60297-3 compliant subracks from any manufacturer. Standard 2- and 4-rail plug-in units are produced in two versions, ...

Verotec, the successor company to Vero Electronics and APW, has moved to a new facility with more than twice the space of its existing unit. Located on the same Chandlers Ford industrial estate as the previous one, the new factory gives the company increased space for standard product stockholding, additional R & D, production and assembly space and improved customer meeting facilities.

Verotec has revamped its range of IEEE1101.10/11 compliant subrack front panels with an improved design of injector/ejector latching handle that generates greater insertion and extraction force, a superior stainless steel EMC fingered gasket that improves contact with the adjacent panel and a ROSH-compliant iridite finish that gives enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.

The latest addition to Verotec’s family of 19 inch rack cases is the Veroshield 19” EMC screened version, which combines the ability to easily mount a wide range of electronic, electric and electro-mechanical equipment in a standard 19” enclosure with good EMC performance.

The field-proven Diplomat family from Verotec is an elegantly styled enclosure, available as a 19 inch or 10.5 inch wide thermally managed, EMC capable unit suitable for housing stand-alone systems, as a 19 inch caseframe for direct mounting of boards and modules and as a vertical tower unit.

Designed for use in rail, military, aerospace and other harsh environments where electronic equipment will be subject to shock and vibration during use, the ruggedised KM6-HD subrack system from Verotec is designed to meet MIL-STD 167, the US Department of Defence Test Method Standard. Manufactured as standard in 3U, 6U and 9U heights, depths of 160mm, 220mm and 400mm and in 42HP half and 84HP full widths, the IEEE 1101.10/11 compliant KM6-HD 19...

Verotec has introduced a 2U EMC screened, thermally managed and powered IEEE 1101.10/11 desktop or rack mount 19” chassis unit that can be supplied with either a horizontally mounted 6U 4 Slot cPCI or a 6U 4 Slot VME64x backplane. The cPCI backplane is available as a 64 bit, PICMG 2.0 R3.0 compliant unit with a right-hand controller slot at the top, rear plug connectors in P3, P4 and P5 and selectable coded I/O in both a standard and CT/H.110 v...

Verotec, the successor company to Vero Electronics and APW, now offer the EPLAX VeroPower family of 3U and 6U 19” subrack pluggable power supplies to add further capability to its KM6 subrack and metal enclosure families. EPLAX, which manufactures in Bremen, Germany, is another direct descendent company from Vero Electronics, which developed the original plug-in modular PSU in 1976.

Verotec offers a wide range of standard backplanes and extender cards for VPX, VME, VME64, VXI and VXS applications, available as either stand-alone components, or integrated into thermally managed systems with subracks, enclosures and power supplies from its range. In addition to supporting VMEbus and its later derivatives, backplanes conforming to the requirements of cPCI, PCI, ATCA and microTCA are also produced, as are units for legacy applic...

Verotec offers an enormous choice of standard front panel options for its KM6 subracks and its 19” and Eurocard-based metal enclosures. Factory customisation services and bespoke panel fabrication with multi-colour screen printing, engraving, cut-outs, polyester overlays, viewing windows and custom finishes, plus a wide range of tooled support products such as card mounting brackets, handles, gaskets and sealing strips enable rapid modification...
