cPCI 6U Load Board
The cPCI 6U Load Board is a test card designed to simulate resistive loads on CompactPCI systems, both electrically and thermally. It ensures reliable power and thermal testing with automatic shutdown if the board overheats.
- Configurable resistive load on +5 V, +3.3 V, +12 V, –12 V rails
- Air-cooled or conduction-cooled variants
- Automatic shutdown at ~120 °C
- Voltage and temperature sensing via front-panel connectors
- Automatic reactivation after cooling
Product Information
The cPCI 6U Load Board provides precise resistive load simulation across multiple voltage rails in a 6U format. It enables engineers to test power supply capacity and thermal behavior under realistic conditions. The board features automatic over-temperature shutdown and voltage/temperature sensing for detailed system analysis.
