DC front-end filter for military use

29 October 2008 Circuit & System Protection

Vicor has introduced a new DC front-end module that provides EMI filtering and transient protection.

The M-FIAM9 (Military Filter Input Attenuator Module) enables designers using Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, Micro Series 24 V and Maxi Series 28 V DC-DC converters to meet conducted emission/susceptibility per MIL-STD-461E and input transients per MIL-STD-704A/E/F and MIL-STD-1275A/B/D.

The M-FIAM9 accepts an input voltage of 10 to 36 V d.c. and delivers output power up to 500 W. It is housed in an industry-standard half-brick module measuring 57,9 x 55,9 x 12,7 mm and depending on the model selected, may be mounted onboard or inboard for height-critical applications.

The module is available in two environmental grades (including –55 to +100°C operating and –65 to 125°C storage), with four pin options and three baseplate options. It is ideal for ground vehicle applications such as communications equipment, targeting systems, flat panel displays, RF jamming and GPS mobile tracking.
