VPX 3U Load Board

Load boards are essential in keeping any system in top running shape. As a full-system provider, Hartmann strives to not only provide the systems you need, but the supporting hardware as well.

The load board switches itself off at a temperature on the topside of the load test card or in a rack at 120 degrees Celcius +/- 5K. Once cooled, it turns itself back on. The incoming voltage levels for the voltages 5V, 12V, 3.3V, +12V-AUX, -12V-AUX, and +3.3V-AUX can be measured close to the plugs P0 and P1. These measuring points are run via the plug X1 on the front.4 temperature measuring points are attached to the load test card: On the front side, at bottom and top. These connections are also run via the plug X1. Available in both air and conduction cooled models.
