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.
Specifications
  • 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
  • Compact 6U, 4HP format
  • Suitable for functional and thermal validation
