The GE IS200EBKPG1A IS200EBKPG1ACB Rack Backplane provides the main interconnect backbone for Mark VI systems. You will find this backplane in turbine control cabinets and generator panels worldwide. It distributes power and data to all inserted VME cards simultaneously.
Technical Specifications
The GE IS200EBKPG1A IS200EBKPG1ACB Rack Backplane carries its revision code near the center. This backplane measures 426 mm in length and 310 mm in width. Its total thickness reaches 15 mm including PCB material. The assembly weighs approximately 1.85 kg (4.08 lbs). Transition words like first and next help describe its connector layout. First, the backplane hosts twelve VME card slots in a single row. Next, it provides two dedicated power connectors for external supplies. Finally, it routes signals through six layers of copper traces.

Functional Features
The GE IS200EBKPG1A IS200EBKPG1ACB Rack Backplane includes a 15000 µF capacitor array for bulk energy storage. This capacitor bank smooths voltage ripples from external power supplies. Additionally, each card slot has staggered pin lengths for hot-swap capability. Moreover, the backplane uses impedance-controlled traces for high-speed communication. You can mount this backplane on any standard 19-inch rack.
Installation and Compatibility
This backplane replaces older revisions like IS200EBKPG1A without card modifications. Always tighten the mounting screws to 1.2 Nm for proper grounding. The GE IS200EBKPG1A IS200EBKPG1ACB Rack Backplane requires a clean DC power source within specifications. Do not insert cards while the backplane has power.
