Dawn VME SLB-9838 slot load board

Product Description

Dawn VME SLB-9838 VME64x Slot Load/Termination Board

This is a Dawn VME SLB-9838, a slot load or termination board designed for VME64x backplane systems. Used in industrial, military, and telecommunications VME chassis, this board provides proper electrical termination for unused slots, maintains signal integrity, and can house additional system functions like temperature monitoring or voltage regulation. Sold AS IS for parts, repair, or integration into a compatible VME system.

Key Features (Typical of Slot Load Boards):

• Compatibility: VME64x (VITA 1.1-1997) backplane standard

• Function:

  • Passive termination for unused VMEbus slots

  • May include active monitoring (temperature, voltage) or I/O expansion

• Connectors: J1/J2 VME64x connectors (5-row, 160-pin)

• Form Factor: 6U VME board size (160mm x 233.35mm)

• Mounting: Standard VME retainer handles and ejector levers

• Applications: Filling empty slots in VME crates for EMI reduction, termination, or system monitoring

Potential Uses:

• VME System Maintenance: Replacement board for restoring termination or slot functionality in a Dawn (or compatible) VME chassis.

• Component Salvage: High-quality VME64x connectors, termination resistors, voltage regulators, and PCB for repurposing.

• Prototyping/Testing: For developing or testing VME64x backplanes, carriers, or custom boards.

• Industrial Spare: Keep as a spare for critical VME-based control or data acquisition systems.

Important Notes:

• Compatibility Check: Verify compatibility with your specific VME64x backplane and chassis.

• Termination Purpose: Primarily ensures signal integrity; may not provide active system functions without proper configuration.

• Technical Knowledge Needed: Suitable for engineers or technicians familiar with VMEbus architecture.
