Rear Transition Modules Support Many Bus Architectures

A series of rear transition modules (RTMs) support VPX, VME64x, VME, CompactPCI, and custom bus architectures. An RTM brings IO signals out the rear side of the backplane. By directly plugging into the backplane, the RTMs offers higher resistance to shock and vibration as compared to a ribbon cable connection style. These modules are designed for standardized or custom systems in military/aerospace, medical, industrial, communications, and energy applications. Possible sizes include 3U x 80 mm, 6U x 80 mm, and 8U x 80 mm. The modules come with or without injector/ejector handles, which help the board lock securely into place. The lead-time is two to three weeks. ELMA BUSTRONIC CORP., Fremont, CA. (510) 490-7388.
