Vicor Corporation has introduced a DC front-end module that provides EMI filtering and transient protection. The M-FIAM9 (Military Filter Input Attenuator Module) enables designers using Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, Micro Series 24 V and Maxi Series 28 V DC-DC converters to meet conducted emission/susceptibility per MIL-STD-461E and input transients per MIL-STD-704A/E/F and MIL-STD-1275A/B/D. The M-FIAM9 accepts an input voltage of 10-36 Vdc, and delivers output power up to 500 W. It is housed in an industry-standard half-brick module measuring 57,9 x 55,9 x 12,7 mm and depending on the model selected, may be mounted onboard or inboard for height-critical applications.

 The M-FIAM is available in two environmental grades (including –55 to +100ºC, operating and –65 to 125ºC storage), with four pin options and three baseplate options. It is ideal for ground vehicle applications such as communications equipment, targeting systems, flat panel displays, RF jamming and GPS mobile tracking. Vicor has had a strong presence in the military COTS market for many years and the M-FIAM9 will extend an already comprehensive line of MIL COTS filters.
