ANSI/VITA 48.5-2026, Mechanical Standard for Modules Air Cooling SKU: AV48.5-2026
Mechanical Standard for Electronic Plug-in units Using Air Flow Through Cooling: This standard establishes the design requirements for an air-flow-through cooled Plug-In Module with a form factor as close to 6U as possible while retaining the VITA 46 connector layout. Unlike ANSI/VITA 48.1, which uses cooling air impinged directly upon the components and circuit boards, this Plug-In Module uses a compact core heat exchanger located within the central heat sink of the unit.
This revision is a major one that includes the addition of 3U form factor, discrete backplane pitches, and a larger air flow opening, as well as air seal supply changes. As a result, this revision is NOT interoperable with the previous (2010) revision and supersedes it. It is expected that new designs/implementations will use this revision.
