Verotec supplies 6 Slot horizontal 3U 19 inch VMEbus chassis to UTC Aerospace Systems

Verotec has supplied 6 Slot horizontal 3U 19 inch VMEbus chassis, configured to the project’s requirements, to UTC Aerospace Systems, a US-based global supplier of technologically advanced aerospace products. Based on one of Verotec’s standard modular integrated system designs to reduce development time and cost, the 24 inch (600 mm) extended depth 3U chassis provides a physically and environmentally secure system environment. The subrack is recessed by 2.4 inches (60mm) from the front of the enclosure; a 6 Slot VMEbus backplane with passive terminations and ABG connectors provides interconnect for 6U boards mounted horizontally to save space. To conform to the needs of the project, cooling is reversed from the conventional layout with fans on the left hand side of the unit taking in cooling air via a removable filter. After removing heat from the horizontal boards, the air exhausts on the right hand side. A rear-mounted custom 400W embedded PSU, powered through an EMC screened mains inlet, provides the required +5 and ±12V system voltages.
