Behlman Announces Availability of a Reference Guide for Design Engineers that Need to Have VPXtra(TM) Information at Hand to Answer their Most Pressing Questions

Designed to make it easier to achieve greater success when designing VPX products and systems.

Hauppauge, New York – Behlman Electronics, Inc., known for its leadership in breaking through the previous 400-watt VPX power ceiling to enable VPX product and system designers to utilize up to 1000 watts of output power from a 6U single slot supply, has announce another breakthrough that will help VPX engineers achieve their design goals faster, easier, more efficiently and more economically.

Behlman’s VPXtra™ 1000CD and VPXtra™ 1000CM “Expanded” Data Sheets provide a combined total of 27-pages of detailed text, charts and diagramed information about features, benefits, overviews, and specific technical data for the range of Behlman VPXtra™ 6U single slot power solutions.

Technical data includes such details as Absolute Minimum Ratings; Input Characteristics: Output Characteristic for each Voltage/Amp combination; General Characteristics; Controls and Signals (per VITA 62); Output Power Status vs. Input Power and Control Signals; Indicators; Output Turn-on Delays; Load Transient Response; Efficiency vs. Load for Minimum, Nominal and Maximum Input Voltage; Power Dissipation vs. Load for Minimum, Nominal and Maximum Input Voltage; Maximum Output Power vs. Input Voltage (71° C card Edge Temperature); Input Current vs. Input Voltage at maximum Output Loads; Paralleling Options; MIL-STD-461 and CE-102 Test Results; Connector Charts and Diagrams; and Complete Product Diagrams.

These Expanded Data Sheets ensure that design engineers will have the answers at hand for virtually every VPXtra™ question likely to pop up during the design process, thereby enabling engineers to move forward more quickly.

According to Behlman President, Ron Storm, “When we broke through the 400 Watt VPX power ceiling in 2012, our telephone started ringing off the hook, as engineers clamored to gain the knowledge that would give them design capabilities up to 1000 watts in a single 6U rack slot. As the Behlman VPXtra series of VITA 62 compliant power supplies continues to gain enormous popularity, the need for comprehensive reference documents became undeniable. We now make this available, as a service to the VPX community.”
