Title: ANSI/VITA 30.1-2008 (R2014), 2mm Connector Practice on Conduction Cooled Euroboards

Abstract
Mechanical characteristics of conduction cooled versions of Euroboard-based circuit card assemblies are described herein. This specification is applicable to, but not limited to, the CompactPCI bus standard, an internal interconnect (backplane) bus intended for connecting individual processing, memory, communications and I/O elements to additional resources. The aim is to ensure mechanical interchangeability of conduction-cooled circuit card assemblies in a format suitable for military and rugged applications and to ensure their compatibility with both conduction cooled chassis and commercial, air-cooled, single height (3U) and double-height (6U) x 160mm, Euroboard chassis.
