AdvancedTCA Zone 1 Power Connector Compatibility Study is Complete

4 years 2 weeks ago

Advanced TCA Zone 1 Powers
Advanced TCA Zone 1 Powers

In the spring of 2005, the ATCA Zone 1 Connector Compatibility Group was formed. The purpose of this group is to reduce possible concerns of the ATCA community regarding compatibility of connectors between various Zone 1 connector suppliers and to relieve the burden of compatibility testing from the ATCA community.

Compatibility testing between Conec GmbH and Positronic Industries is now successfully complete. Compatibility was established using a three-step program.

First, group members exchanged production samples and test reports which showed their individual products' compliance to PICMG 3.0, appendix B. Appendix B details requirements for Zone 1 power connectors.

Next, group members supplied connector samples for compatibility testing. The testing was performed by Contech Research, Inc., located in Attleboro, MA, U.S.A.

Finally, group members agreed to maintain compatibility over time by performing re-qualification testing every three years. Also, a joint review will be done by group members if any group member makes design changes to their product.
