Construction and Reliability
cPCIRepeat32 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. “leaded
or unleaded” components can be used along with solder choices. Dynamic Engineering
can support both processes.
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 Modules are secured against the carrier with the PMC connectors. It is
recommended, for enhanced security against vibration, that the PMC’s 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 is recommended.
Two Fan positions are available for optional Fan installation.
