3000 SERIES

The 3000 Series consists of a family of custom and standard ATR reference designs and enclosures also referred to as a chassis, in support highly rugged and MIL spec applications required by the defense and aerospace markets. The Series provides a full set of packaging features ideally suited to meet the demands of high-performance ground-based applications that must operate in difficult environments or by flight vehicles that operate at high altitudes.

Three (3) classes of product are provided and are classified by the type of cooling technology utilized. A variety of standard products exist that can be further customized. The Series 3000 Reference Design Specifications can be downloaded to include individual data sheets on each product.
