TCP463Air cooled 4-channel 3U CompactPCI serial board
- Configurations
- 6 available configurations
TCP463 is a serial communication board for CompactPCI racks, meant for systems that have to reach field units over a few reliable serial lines.
The board weighs 0.123 kg and is air cooled, so it needs no particular care in the thermal budget of the rack.
The configurations of the family differ in consumption, between 0.15 and 0.2 W, and in the declared MTBF, between 290,000 and 370,000 hours. An example in the catalog is TCP463-10R.
