Aitech E103

Introduction

Aitech's E103 convection-cooled VME computer enclosure is built to be rugged and reliable as well as lightweight and compact. EMI/RFI protected and environmentally sealed, the E103 is capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions of altitude, temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, EMI and chemical exposure. This makes it ideal for use in all military environments.

The E103 is constructed of durable CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminium. Fasteners are stainless steel and often-used threads have self locking stainless steel helicoils to withstand severe vibration and shock. All connectors are located on the front panel of the enclosure for easy access. Side and back walls are externally finned for radiation and convection-cooling. Designed with a built-in handle, the E103 is also equipped with hooks and mounting holes to facilitate installation in standard 1/2-ATR short mounting trays.

The E103 accommodates 5 standard VME boards with 0.8 inch pitch, including:

• IEEE 1101.2 conduction-cooled VME cards
• Commercial VME boards without front panels
