Product informationKontron VPX360 power supplies are conduction-cooled COTS converters designed to VITA 62.0 and compatible with standard VPX chassis per VITA 46.0. The series delivers increased output power and current in a compact 3U x 5HP footprint using next-generation switching power technology. A dedicated input filter with booster and isolation stages enables operation on both 28V DC and 48V DC systems. The VPX360 includes onboard monitoring and control via I²C (IPMI) and Micro-USB. All mechanical and electrical interfaces comply with VITA 62.
