Standard output voltage configuration is 5 VDC@20 A, 3.3 VDC@30 A, +12 VDC@3 A and -12 VDC@0.5 A. Input voltage is "universal" from 85-264 VAC over the frequency range 47-63 Hz and a 48 VDC input version is also available. Full output power is available over a temperature range of -10 to +55 degrees C with 15 CFM of cooling.

Additional standard features include, unlimited duration overload and short circuit protection, over-voltage and over-temperature protection, load sensing on 5 VDC and 3.3 VDC outputs, "enable", "inhibit" and "power good" signals, front panel LED's to indicate output and input power status and I2C data bus for remote monitoring and control.

Jake Moir, MD of Gresham comments; "We have been very successful at supplying a number of major system integrators with CompactPCI products and understand the procurement problems they are currently facing. The upturn in demand is resulting in growing lead-times and we are pleased to be able to offer fast delivery of our 3U, 250 watt product."
