Project Description

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.

Universal Input:
  • 115 Vac; 60/400 Hz
Output Power(per module):
  • 250 W
Output Voltage:
  • Rectified Line
  • 1 – 95 Vdc (with MI-x7x DC-DC converters)
Efficiency:
  • Up to 95%
Dimensions(half brick):
  • 2.28″ x 2.4″ x 0.5″ (57,9 x 61,0 x 12,7 mm)
Operating Temperature:
  • -55°C to 100°C M-Grade

  • Compatible with Vicor MI-x7x family of modules
  • Inrush limiting
  • MIL-STD-461D/E CE102 compliance for conducted emissions
  • MIL-STD-704A compliance for input transients
  • MIL-STD-810 environments compliance
  • Environmental stress screening
