MI-AIM

MIL AC/DC Frontend Module MI-AIM which provides Line Rectification, EMI Filtering, Transient Protection and Inrush Limiting

Description

The MI-AIM AC input module interfaces directly with AC mains to provide line rectification, EMI filtering, transient protection, and inrush limiting. These front-end modules accept 115 Vac and provide 250 W of output power for any of Vicor’s MI-x7x family of full-brick and half-brick sized modules.

The MI-AIM meets CE102 conducted emissions requirements of MIL-STD-461D/E, the transient and spike requirements of MIL-STD-704A, and the environmental test requirements of MIL-STD-810.
