Why Choose Elma
Flexibility Elma tailors solutions to individual
applications to ensure fast and cost-effective
results. Experience Extensive practical
experience in packaging electronic systems is
used to minimise the time taken to develop new
customised solutions without compromising system
performance or reliability. Compatibility Becaus
e the two key electromechanical components
enclosures and backplanes are made in-house,
Elma guarantees compatibility, consistency and
reliability. Global resources With
manufacturing in Europe and the US, customers
benefit from local service, backed by global
resources.

Small factor reduces costs, maintains strong
performance
AMC Modules
ATCA Board
ATCA Carrier Board
ATCA System
Space and cost savings -- going from a carrier
board solution to the AMC directly plugging into
the backplane. Performance is high with 5,000

Modular MicroTCA

• Flexible design makes customization
• Less expensive
• Faster
• Easier
• Proven design building blocks

6
How modularity is incorporated

• Extrusions

• Plastic card guides

Extrusion to hold the Tapped Strip for the Card
guide and the Filler panel. Card guides and
extrusions allow flexibility in enclosure and
modules sizes/heights.
Plastic card guides snap on with additional screw
on option. ESD Clip can snap on card guide.
Plastic card guides also provide electrical
insulation.
7
Flexible cooling options

• Single or redundant cooling options
• More flexibility to meet applications demands
• Less customization, lower costs.

8
Flexible cooling options

• Push only or push/pull cooling configurations.
• Thermal simulation can find hot spots for minor
  modifications with little customization (higher
  CFM fans, air baffles, more intake/exhaust, etc)

9
Modular Cube Chassis

• Divider plates

Allow double module slot to switch to two single
modules.
