Behlman Electronics Inc. has introduced its fourth COTS VPXtra Power Supply designed to support the rigors of mission critical airborne, shipboard, vehicle and mobile VPX applications, as well as high-end industrial applications. The latest in the family of Behlman VPXtra™ Power Supplies is the VPXtra™ 500M 3U COTS dc-dc converter. This is a rugged, highly reliable, conduction cooled, switch mode unit. It is VITA 62, Open VPX compliant, and delivers up to 550W of dc power via six outputs. The 12V, 3.3V, and 5V main outputs can be paralleled for higher power. VPXtra™ 500M can accept 18 to 36 Vdc input, compliant with MIL-STD-704, and can supply a high-power dc output.
VPXtra 500M power supplies have no minimum load requirement and have overvoltage and short circuit protection, as well as over current and thermal protection. Designed and manufactured with Xtra-Cooling, Xtra-Reliable Design and Xtra-Rugged Construction, the Behlman VPXtra 500M is your best choice for Open VPX system designs when 3U and VITA Compliance are essential.
According to Ron Storm, president of Orbit Power Group and Behlman Electronics, “Beginning in 2012, Behlman has repeatedly raised the 6U power bar for VPX system designers. Now we are proud to do the same for design engineers needing higher output from a 3U form factor power supply that complies with Open VPX and VITA 62 requirements.â€
