Industry News but military sales growth was higher. “We estimate that the military/aerospace market accounts for about 27 percent of the total PCB market in North America,” said Sharon Starr, IPC director of market research. “Based on new data, IPC is updating its market size estimates for rigid PCBs, flexible circuits, the mil/aero and medical vertical markets, and the prototype market.” PICMG Ratifies MicroTCA.2 Specification for Rugged Industrial and Military Applications PICMG has adopted the Hybrid Air/Conduction Cooled MicroTCA (MicroTCA.2) specification. The PICMG MicroTCA.2 specification addresses the needs of severe shock, vibration and thermal environments typical of many military air, land and sea as well as rugged industrial applications. The specification defines a modular open systems approach for hardened hybrid air/conduction cooled computer systems. It was developed based on key input from military vendors such as BAE Systems, and includes well-defined test procedures for a consistent reading of vendor compliance. MicroTCA.2 modules of all power levels benefit from the hybrid air/conduction cooling (hybrid cooling) approach, in which conduction allows thermal sharing among modules and with the chassis. This thermal sharing effect allows additional surface area to be exposed to the airflow through the chassis to more effectively dissipate the system’s total thermal load. Forced-air convection yields the dominant cooling effect in MicroTCA.2 systems, yet there is a significant secondary conduction cooling benefit associated with the module clamshell and innovative wedge lock designs. By taking advantage of complementary conductive heat transfer through finned clam-shelled module surfaces and aluminum chassis sidewalls, as well as heat sharing between adjacent chassis slots, the MicroTCA.2 hybrid cooling solution effectively provides increased thermal margin over other MicroTCA modes in environments with higher ambient air temperature or decreased airflow. For example, at a flow condition of 6.7 CFM per slot, an AdvancedMC Single Module dissipating 51.6 W of power recorded a 6.6°C reduction in component temperature, a 33 percent component temperature benefit, using the MicroTCA.2 hybrid cooling approach compared to the performance of a standard MicroTCA.0/MicroTCA.1 forced air-only solution.
