Class 2100 Conduction Cooled Rugged Embedded Computers

The Nova Integration Solutions (NIS) Class 2100 contains a portfolio of IP 66+ sealed, conduction cooled embedded computer reference designs conforming to standard host board form factors (PC/104, ComExpress, etc.,) as well as all Eurocard board types (VPX, cPCI, etc.), form factors and slot counts. These scalable reference designs are tailored to customer specifications for board count and I/O requirements.

All NIS Embedded Computers utilize a machined aerospace grade aluminum alloy #6061-T651 housing with formed aluminum internal structures. This housing design provides superior strength and rigidity while also ensuring MIL-STD-461 compliance for EMI/EMC and IP66+ ratings for sealing against dust and water
NIS engineering specializes in advanced thermal management and packaging techniques with the design process starting by considering the highest possible heat load per board form factor and designing an enclosure which will meet the most stringent demands of any application. These devices are truly military grade yet still suitable and cost-effective enough for any application including public safety, construction, railway, factories and more.

Input power options include single or three phase VAC inputs including 100-264 VAC @ 47-63 Hz; 115 VAC @ 400 Hz; and nominal VDC inputs from 12VDC up to 270VDC. Custom power systems can be designed in collaboration with parent company Technology Dynamics, Inc.

I/O connectors are customer definable and are military circular type by default. For moderate to large unit volume, NIS will design an I/O printed circuit board to reduce cabling complexity and direct labor costs, passing those savings to you, our customer.

The Class 2100 Embedded Computers are military grade devices suitable for use in any application.
