VPT, INC.

HIGH-RELIABILITY POWER SOLUTIONS AT A REASONABLE COST

VPT, Inc. (VPT®) is a global leader in providing power conversion solutions for use in avionics, military, and space applications. VPT offers high-reliability DC-DC converters, EMI filters, accessory power products, and custom engineering services for the rapid development of critical power systems. For nearly 30 years, VPT’s awardwinning DC-DC converters, EMI filters, accessory products, and engineering services have powered systems for world-class organizations and programs. All of VPT’s product designs are based on decades of proven heritage and deliver high reliability at a reasonable cost.

VPT’s high-reliability COTS DC-DC converters, which include the ruggedized VXR Series, are designed to meet the requirements of commercial avionics and military applications, including unmanned systems.

The V-SHIELD® packaging technology was recognized by the judges of the Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Award with the highest, platinum level award in 2016. The platinum level recognizes military and aerospace electronics featuring a superb innovation, characterized by a groundbreaking approach to meeting a need, a new level of performance, efficiency and/or easeof-use.

The VXR Series is optimized for a broad range of applications from military ground vehicles to commercial and military aircraft and is intended for harsh environments including severe vibration, shock and temperature cycling, and features VPT’s patented VSHIELD® advanced packaging technology. V-SHIELD® is an integral epoxy encapsulation which incorporates EMI shielding and dual-sided thermal conduction. It is highly resistant to chemical, solvent and salt environments, and is fully compatible with high-volume manufacturing processes including wave solder, cleaning solvents, highpressure sprays and aqueous wash. It also simplifies system thermal design with dual-sided conduction cooling, coupled with reduced power dissipation.

With V-SHIELD® packaging, the DC-DC converter combines the reduced radiated emissions advantage of the metal packaging and the water/chemical resistivity of the epoxy packaging. Merging these two options provides a design with superior performance at a reasonable cost. VSHIELD® packaging allows the converter to be used for multiple rugged applications, from military ground vehicles to commercial and military aircraft. It can withstand harsh environments including severe vibration, shock, and temperature cycling.
