Military COTS 28Vi Filter M-FIAMSB Datasheet

Category: Electronics, Passive Filters, Vicor Corporation

Overview of the M-FIAMSB EMI Filter and Transient Protection Module

The M-FIAMSB, part of Vicor’s portfolio, is a rugged, high-density power module designed to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering and transient protection conforming to various military standards. It is engineered to support designers working with 24V input DC-DC converters from Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, and Micro Series.

Key Features & Benefits

The M-FIAMSB module offers various features, including compliance with MIL-STD-461E for EMI filtering, MIL-STD-704E/F for transient protection, and MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-202 for environmental considerations. With environmental stress screening and low-profile mounting options, it is suitable for applications where space is at a premium. The output power level can reach up to 560W, supported by an output current of up to 20A within a compact package. Additionally, it limits inrush current to protect circuit components.

Absolute Maximum Ratings & Thermal Characteristics

When it comes to the absolute maximum ratings, the input voltage range lies within 14 to 36VDC. Thermal resistance and capacity suggest efficient heat management, with a baseplate to heat sink flat, greased surface with thermal pad at a typical 0.16°C/Watt and baseplate to ambient in free convection at 1.00 LFM also displayed in °C/Watt.

Environmental Parameters & Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)

The module operates effectively across different environmental temperatures profiles, such as Ground Benign, Naval Sheltered, and Airborne Inhabited Cargo, to which the MTBF rate is denoted in thousands of hours, highlighting its reliability across various conditions.

Product Highlights & Compatibility

With an actual size of 2.28 x 2.2 x 0.5 inches and configurable via part numbering for proper integration, the M-FIAMSB is tailored to complement Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, and Micro Series 24V Input DC-DC converters as well as 24V Input VIPAC Arrays™. It emphasizes its compatibility with the SurfMate and InMate socketing systems but notes that additional external components may be necessary to comply fully with specified standards.

Mounting and Product Grades

The product available mounting configurations include slotted, threaded, and through-hole options. The product grade temperature listings inform users about operating and storage temperature ranges, ensuring that the module performs optimally within its designated environmental settings.

Additional Notes

Customization of the module is feasible with different options for pin style and baseplate types, enhancing flexibility for various application needs. The datasheet disclaims that while EMI performance is subject to various external influences, product images represented in the datasheet may not reflect present product markings accurately.

The M-FIAMSB datasheet offers detailed information for engineers and designers on how to incorporate this module effectively into military and high-reliability applications, providing robust power solution support under multiple environmental and electrical stress conditions.
