A robust new VPX power card has been released from industry-leader Aegis Power Systems, Inc this week. The lightweight 3U unit gives industrial, commercial, military, and aerospace engineers a power supply option with higher efficiency and greater power outputs than previous competitors.

These powerful single slot rack cards are ruggedized and designed to meet portions of various military standards including Mil-Std-704, Mil-Std 461e, and Mil-Std-810f. The new 270Vdc VPX power supply units are suitable for use in VITA 62 standard rackmount chassis across many markets including military (including COTS option), industrial, and commercial.

The specifications of the VPX 270-500 power card exceed competitor models by yielding up to 93% max efficiency, 500 watts total output power, and a smaller 4HP size. The conduction cooled unit offers six output voltages, short circuit protection with automatic recovery, option to parallel units, and a quick start-up time. Modifications may be available per customer request.
