North Atlantic Industries (NAI) announces the availability of its latest 3U rugged VPX power product — the VPX57-31. Designed for rugged military and commercial aerospace applications, the VPX57-31 provides up to 400 Watts of power (CC4 temperature range, full load) with six outputs and is compliant with MIL-STD-704F. Other features include current share, remote error sensing and a built-in EMI filter compliant with MIL-STD-461, CE-102 — all within a single slot 1.0" pitch, 3U package. The VPX57-31 is designed to meet standard 3U VPX mechanical requirements and has VITA 62 compatible outputs & signaling, user programmability, I2C communication and programmable over-temperature monitor.

“The VPX57-31 fulfills a unique requirement requested by our customers, by providing a high-voltage (+270Vdc) dc Input within a VITA 62 compatible product while meeting stringent power requirements in a compact rugged COTS package,” said Lino Massafra VP Sales and Marketing. “Many of today’s military systems rely heavily on high-efficiency power supplies that can support OpenVPX requirements and withstand MIL-STD-704 low- and high-voltage transients. The VPX57-31 is the latest in a complete line of NAI VPX power converters that support some of today’s most demanding system power requirements,” Massafra concluded.

Basic pricing configuration starts at $2,888 each in quantities of 100. Programmability, I2C communication, remote sense and current share are included.
