VITA 48.4-201x (New Standard), Liquid Flow Through VPX Plug-In Module Standard

Abstract: This standard establishes the mechanical design interface control, outline and mounting requirements for a liquid-flow-through cooled plug-in unit to ensure the mechanical intermateability of 6U VPX liquid-flow-through cooled plug-in module within associated subracks. The connector layout remains common with VITA 46.. This plug-in module uses liquid flowing through an integral heat sink of the unit for cooling the electronic components and circuit boards. The quick disconnect coupling assemblies allow fluidic coupling to the chassis coolant manifold.
