VPX 6U Load Board
The VPX 6U Load Board is a test card designed to simulate resistive loads on VPX systems, enabling comprehensive electrical and thermal testing.
- Configurable resistive load on +5 V, +12 V, +12 V AUX, –12 V AUX, and +3.3 V AUX rails
- Air-cooled with heatsink or conduction-cooled variants
- Automatic shutdown at ~120 °C
- Voltage and temperature sensing via front-panel X1 connector
- Automatic reactivation after cooling
Product Information
It includes automatic thermal protection that powers down the board if temperatures exceed 120 °C and automatically restarts after cooling.
The VPX 6U Load Board provides precise resistive load simulation across multiple voltage rails in a 6U, 5HP or 6HP form factor. 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.
