LCR Electronics has added several compact MicroTCA chassis models to its VME, CompactPCI and VPX rugged chassis product line.

The new ATR chassis models employ machined box construction.

This enables the company's enclosures to conform to rigorous MIL-STD specifications, including 810F methods 514.5, 513.5, 516.5, 507.4 and 509.4 for vibration, acceleration, shock, humidity and salt fog respectively.

Additional MIL-STD specifications that the new chassis models meet include 167 Type 1, Para 5.1 for vibration, 901D lightweight hammer for shock and 461D for EMI.

An optional shock-isolated card cage provides additional rigidity to internal electronics.

Each MicroTCA rugged enclosure can feature up to a 10-slot backplane and is configured to Arinc 404A.

The chassis models are air or conduction cooled in a variety of standard and custom sizes to accommodate numerous application environments, with customisable input/output also available.

The operating temperature range is -40C to +85C and the storage temperature is -55C to +95C.

Custom pricing for the MicroTCA chassis is available upon request.
