Construction and Reliability
cPCIBPMC6U is constructed out of 0.062 high temp ROHS compliant material.
Gold has been used for plating rather than Tin for improved performance over
time.
Surface mounted components are used. The connectors are SMT for the PMC
bus and through hole [compression fit] for the cPCI. The PMC Module
connectors are keyed and shrouded with Gold plated pins on both plugs and
receptacles. They are rated at 1 Amp per pin, 100 insertion cycles minimum.
These connectors make consistent, correct insertion easy and reliable.
The PMC Module is secured against the carrier with the PMC connectors. It is
recommended, for enhanced security against vibration, that the PMC mounting
screws are installed. The screws are supplied with the PMC from the OEM.
Dynamic Engineering has screws, standoffs, blank bezels and other PMC
hardware available at a reasonable cost if your PMC was not shipped with some
of the required attachment hardware or if it has been misplaced.
Thermal Considerations
If the PMC installed has a large heat dissipation; forced air cooling with the “FAN”
option is recommended.
