68SR1

3U OpenVPX Solid-State Power Controller Relay Board Solid-State Power Switch Output; 3-Modules supporting up to 4-Channels each

The 68SR1 3U OpenVPX configurable open systems architecture motherboard can be configured with up to three NAI Solid-State Power Controller/Relay (switching) modules, each capable of supporting up to four isolated high current & voltage discrete output switching channels. External command and control is provided via one PCIe x1 backplane interface and one Ethernet ports, which can be factory configured to support 10/100/1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-X. Ideally suited for rugged Mil-Aero applications, the 68SR1 delivers off-the-shelf solutions that accelerate deployment of SWaP-optimized systems in air, land and sea applications.

The board platform provides support for (3) different NAI solid-state power controller switching relay function module types:

Module ID / Type # of Channels Description
SW1 4 Normally Open (NO), Low-V, ±100V @ 6A continuous (max./Ch.)
SW2 4 Normally Open (NO), High-V, ±200V @ 4A continuous (max./Ch.)
SW3 2 Normally Closed (NC), Low-V, ±100V @ 3A continuous (max./Ch.)
