Edition
Level 2
As Level 1, but conformally coated and 100% tested in manufacture to provide an extended operating
range.
Level 3
Level 3 boards are intended for applications that have extended temperature, shock and vibration
requirements, but can be served by conventional, forced-air-cooled, racking systems. These rugged
boards comprise a double-Eurocard size printed wiring board fitted with wide temperature range,
industrial grade components and are conformally coated as standard.
Level 4
Designed primarily for use in sealed ATR chassis and other conduction-cooled environments the Level 4
board features wide temperature range, industrial grade devices, an integral thermal management layer
and incorporates a central stiffening bar for additional strength. Cooling is achieved through conduction
of heat from the thermal management layer to the cold wall of the rack to which the boards are secured
by screw driven wedgelocks. Level 4 boards are 100% temperature characterized and conformally
coated during manufacture. Level 4 is mechanically compliant with IEEE Std. 1101.2- 1992.
Level 5
As Level 4, but 100% tested in manufacture to provide an extended operating range. All five styles fully
support the power and versatility of the VMEbus, so no matter how large or diversified your project,
absolute compatibility is assured at all stages of development.
