VMEbus Power Supplies The table below shows the power supply voltages and current capabilities for VMEbus modules. The current carrying capacities are shown for each VMEbus module. The current carrying capacity of a VMEbus module is limited by the capacity of the connector pins, which are required to be IEC Class II connectors (or better).
The current carrying capacities of standard connectors are generally limited to 70C, and usually don't conform to military temperature ranges of -65C to +125C. When standard connectors are used in wide temperature military systems, the current carrying capacities will be lower. However, military style connectors are available on VMEbus modules. Contact the board manufacturer for more details.
