Hauppauge, New York, August 27, 2012 — Behlman Electronics Inc., known for its leadership in power products for military, industrial, and commercial applications, has developed a new engineering standard that raises the bar on VPX products and systems design, by delivering an unprecedented 1000 Watts DC in the high-density 6U, VPX-compliant Behlman VPXtra(tm) 1000CD. This is a rugged, highly reliable switch-mode unit ideal for high-end industrial applications, as well as for mission-critical military airborne, shipboard, vehicle, and mobile applications.
Heat problems solved by Behlman’s Xtra-Cooling(tm) technology.
Behlman’s engineering breakthrough — Xtra-Cooling technology — has been achieved by a unique card-edge conduction cooling paradigm that enables the dual output VPXtra 1000CD to deliver up to 1000 Watts of clean, regulated 12 VDC power and 3.3 VDC auxiliary power with a typical efficiency of 90%, from wide-range 28 VDC input.
VPXtra 1000CD is OpenVPX(tm) VITA 62 compliant, and designed to power OpenVPX modules. Standard features include overvoltage; short circuit and thermal protection, with no minimum load requirement; and the 12 VDC output can be paralleled for higher power and fail-safe redundancy.
Complete specifications and data sheets for VPXtra 1000CD Power Supplies are immediately available at www.behlmanvpx.com.
Also incorporating Behlman’s Xtra-Reliable(tm) design and Xtra-Rugged(tm) construction, VPXtra(tm) 1000CD power supplies are designed and manufactured to meet MIL-STD-810 for shock, vibration, and humidity, and MIL-STD-461 for EMI.
According to Behlman President, Ron Storm, “Achieving adequate cooling in such a high-density package was a daunting task, but it had to be done in order to enable
higher power VPX applications. It is a testimony to Behlman’s design engineering team that we have been able to use our trademarked Xtra-Cooling technology to break through the power ceiling. This sets new higher power standards that can be employed by everyone designing and manufacturing VPX-compliant products and systems.”
Delivery is approximately 12 weeks after order and prices range from $5,495 to $4,945, depending on quantities.
A different model, the VPXtra 1000CM Power Supply, is available for engineers that need five outputs up to 600 watts. The Behlman VPXtra 1000CM provides 12 VDC @ 40 A, 5 VDC @ 24 A, 3.3 VDC @ 15 A, -12VDC @ 2 A, and +12 VDC@ 1 A.
