Product Information
The Kontron VPX360 Air Cooled is a rugged, commercial off-the-shelf power supply designed in accordance with ANSI/VITA 62.0 for integration into standard VITA 46.0 VPX systems. Its next-generation power conversion technology delivers up to 600 W of output power with high efficiency in a compact 3U form factor.
Separate versions support nominal 28 V DC or 48 V DC input systems, with a wide operating input range from 12 V DC to 68 V DC. The VPX360 provides multiple main and auxiliary output voltages, comprehensive protection functions, programmable power sequencing, and onboard monitoring through I²C, USB-C, and optional IPMI.
Designed for demanding environments, the power supply features conformal-coated electronics and is engineered to meet MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-1275, and MIL-STD-810 requirements. Compliance testing is still pending where indicated in the preliminary datasheet.
