Electronic chassis that accepts 3U or 6U printed circuit boards introduced by Pixus Technologies

WATERLOO, Ontario – Pixus Technologies in Waterloo, Ontario, is introducing a versatile 5.25-inch-tall embedded computing chassis that accepts 3U or 6U printed circuit boards mounted horizontally of various backplane types.

The modular design that accepts various card guide and rail options enables systems designers to incorporate OpenVPX, CompactPCI Serial, VME64x, or other Eurocard architectures in the new horizontal-mount chassis.

The system typically accepts as many as six 6U modules at a 0.8-inch pitch or five 6U modules at 1.0-inch pitch. Designers can place a divider to split the opening to accept dual rows of 3U modules or a mix of 3U and 6U boards.

The embedded computing chassis supports several pluggable or fixed power supplies in various voltage or wattage options. Side-to-side cooling is standard, but front-to-rear versions are available.
