Schroff UK - Switched-mode power supply provides high reliability for CompactPCI applications

As well as incorporating a P47 connector conforming to the PICMG 2.11 CompactPCI specification, the PSU also provides the high levels of reliability demanded by typical CompactPCI applications in the communications, industrial, military and aerospace sectors.
Inputs are protected against voltage transients and high inrush currents, outputs are protected against open-circuit and short-circuit conditions, and the power supply also includes over-temperature protection.

The unit is hot-swap capable, and active current sharing is provided on three of the outputs for parallel operation of multiple units in n+1 redundant designs or in systems requiring a higher output power.

Measuring 6U high x 8HP wide x 172mm deep, the new PSU is supplied with an EMC seal and a 19in. front panel including handles. It achieves a typical efficiency of 84% and meets the requirements of the relevant standards covering safety, EMC and mechanical stress.
