Sealed, 1" pitch, high performance dry-air 6U chassis incorporates six heat exchangers, 20 super conductive heat pipes & air re-circulation fans inside. This minimum maintenance ATR is ideal for applications where ambient air is laden with hostile or harmful contaminants.
Heat is conducted to hollow sidewalls, top cover & rear panel heat exchangers where it is dissipated to the ambient environment by forced air rear fans or by vehicle air plenum. Two additional internal card-cage heat exchangers recirculate air & 20 integrated heat pipes provide fast passage for heat to exit the internal card-cage. Internal air recirculation fans ensure constant airflow across modules.
The 6U SIXHEX-20HP chassis is available in 5 & 7 slot versions (½ ATR, ¾ ATR, 1 ATR), supporting VME, cPCI, VPX, VPX-VME & cPCI-VME hybrid backplanes. Total PSU power of up to 825 watts may be installed. Custom modifications can be designed upon request.
Internal layout is divided into 4 independent metallic partitions. I/O section at the front, card-cage, PSU section & exhaust fans at the rear. This improves EMI/EMC performance & reduces PSU noise on system electronics.
This 1" pitch chassis has been designed exclusively for VME wedgelock IEEE P1101.2, Compact PCI 1101.2/IEC/118/ CD and VPX VITA 46.0/.1/.10/.3/.4/.7 conduction cooled modules. A mixed card-cage, supporting air-cooled and conduction-cooled modules my be selected upon request.
The 6U SIXHEX-20HP chassis is suitable for high wattage sealed applications that demand superior cooling capability.
Chassis Global Thermal Resistance (CGTR) coefficient:
ΔT/W = 0.050°C (½ ATR) | 0.043°C (¾ ATR).
Chassis Payload Thermal Resistance (CPTR) coefficient:
ΔT/W = 0.0596°C (½ ATR) | 0.0497°C (¾ ATR).
For reliable operation it is recommended the maximum Payload Power not be exceeded. Subject to operating conditions.
All CM 6U ATR chassis are delivered tested, qualified and certified per Military Standards MIL-STD-461E & MIL-STD-810F.
CM 6U SIXHEX-20HP military backplanes are available in VPX, VMEbus, cPCI, or combinations of VPX-VME64 or cPCI-VME64 hybrids, providing standard bus slot and signal daisy-chain functionalities. SIXHEX-20HP backplanes are 1" pitch & deliver full compatibility with 0.8" pitch modules.
All 6U backplanes install specific TTL logic circuitry for driving up to 8 front panel user LED indicators. Units fitted with a Temperature Supervisory Unit will also drive an additional panel LED TEMP (over/under temperature indicator).
All SIXHEX-20HP backplanes integrate a Temperature Supervisory Unit (TSU) with panel LED (over/under temperature) that controls Power Supply & Fan operation. Remote optoisolated control switches for ‘Battle-short’ & chassis PSU ‘on/standby’ are fitted as standard.
CM 6U military backplanes allow unlimited pin I/O wiring capability. Flexible top & bottom wiring integration is facilitated by a standard 25mm bottom cavity clearance to avoid requiring a custom backplane.
The final slot in SIXHEX-20HP 7 slot chassis allow for bus functionality & contain power/control provisions to accept a eurocard-size metallically caged Redundant PSU. A single slot RPSU up to 575W operates in parallel with main PSU on a load-sharing basis to minimize component stress.
Custom backplanes maybe designed upon customer request.
CM backplanes support one or two 100W power sockets for optional micro-size DC/DC military converters with user defined output voltage. The converters are useful for increasing the +5VDC or +3.3VDC power lines or for generating isolated positive, negative or bipolar auxiliary DC voltages.
Class 1 military power input connectors offer reliable shock & vibration interconnectivity between chassis internal modules and allows high DC current rates with low voltage drops & minimum contact heating.
6U backplanes are supplied with military conformal coating. Printed circuits boards are partially coated per MIL-I-4658C in areas in which do no affect VPX, VME, cPCI, or I/O connectors.
All 6U models integrate similar backplane electronics for easy switch-overs, retrofits or replacement parts.

6U SIXHEX-20HP (1'' Pitch) chassis PSUs support a wide variety of AC/DC input voltages (MIL-STD-704 & MIL-STD-1275) and customer defined DC power output combinations up to 825 watts. Available in different versions to suit the demand per DC Line of standard COTS open busses.
All PSU models are fitted with Power Fail Monitor, remote voltage sensing, output voltage trim-up, time-delayed protection fuses, rear fan fuse and DC/DC converter remote shutdown.
To comply with MIL-STD-461E, a high capacity integrated EMI/EMC input voltage filter is fitted as standard on all 6U models.
Front-end FIAM modules are protected against DC reverse polarity. An optional reverse polarity diode may be fitted in series with power connector input pin IN (+).
Single-phase AC PSUs are fitted with a VICOR military Filter and Autoranging Rectifier Module (FARM) to provided EMI filtering, autoranging line rectification and inrush current limiting to meet MIL-STD-461E category A1b specifications for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
DC PSUs are equipped with a VICOR military Filter and Attenuator Module (FIAM). This front-end device is fitted prior to the DC/DC converters to provide EMI filtering, inrush current limiting and transient protection.
200VAC 3-Phase PSU versions additionally incorporate AC/DC rectifier stage prior to the VICOR FIAM front-end modules.
6U SIXHEX-20HP (1'' Pitch) model PSUs incorporate isolated DC/DC converters and oversized hold-up capacitors to ensure proper operation during short power line failures. Outputs are protected against short-circuit, thermal-shutdown etc. PSUs are custom made to match the enclosure mechanics.
This 6U ATR Chassis is currently only available in 5 & 7 slot versions |

The PSU
in SIXHEX-20HP 1" pitch models is attached to a heat ecxhanger panel that provides both conduction and convection cooling. Internal air recirculation dissipates heat generated by the PSU through its panel via thermal conduction to the chassis frame.
Forced air that is drawn through the heat exchangers, passing over the PSU panel external fins & exhausted, removing the majority of heat.
