Aitech E116

Introduction

Aitech's E116 Forced air Fan-cooled VME computer enclosure is built to be rugged and reliable as well as lightweight and compact. EMI/RFI protected and environmentally sealed, the E116 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.

Sturdy Mechanical Design

The E116 is constructed of durable CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminium. Fasteners are stainless steel and often-used threads have selflocking 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 internally finned for forced air-cooling without sacrificing ruggedness. Designed with 2 built-in handles, the E116 is also equipped with hooks and mounting holes to facilitate installation in standard 1/2-ATR short mounting trays. Optional mounting side flanges are available for hard mounting to a shelf.

The E116 accommodates 6 standard VME boards with 0.8 inch pitch, including:

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