Positive Retraction Card-Lok
Positive Retraction Card-Lok
for reliable 2nd Level Maintenance
In rugged environments, it is crucial to access vital electronics. Although Card-Loks are important to secure ruggedized VPX systems, standard Card-Loks can become stuck in the chassis.
nVent SCHROFF’s positive retraction Card-Lok design avoids stiction failures allowing for guaranteed removal in 2nd level, at the same time improving the clamping force and heat dissipation of standard Card-Loks.
Easy 2nd Level Maintenance
- Positive Retraction mechanism eliminates stiction, allowing for reliable removal
- Drop in replacement for 260, 265 and 280 Calmark&Birtcher Lines
- Meets VITA 46, 48.2, 48.4, 48.5, 48.8 and SOSA requirements
Clamp Force/Thermal Management
- Meets advance requirements for heat dissipation and shock & vibration resistance
- Positive Retraction for gold chem showed clamp force at 450 lbs, 2.4 times higher than standard Card Lok
Thermal resistance for gold chem was measured at 1.22 ℃/W, 45% lower than standard Card-Lok
Customizable
- Standard COTS or modified products to meet application requirements
- Optimized for SWaP requirements
- Access to highly specialized nVent SCHROFF engineering team
