VME Board Manufacturers

This is a general listing of VMEbus COTS [Commercial-Off-The-Self] card manufacturers, and vendors.
The types of products or devices they produce are listed under the company name, in alphabetic order. Mezzanine card Manufacturers are listed on their own page.
All other card formats are listed on the COTS Card Manufacturers page. Cards listed that make reference to other bus types (MIL-STD-1553 for example) may have additional detailed information on other pages. See the main Interface Bus page for a description of some other bus formats. Detailed information on the VMEbus standard may be found on it's VME Bus Definition page.
In addition to functional cards; Protoboards, Extender cards, and Prototyping board manufacturers are also listed below.
Extender boards may be either Passive [straight through] or Active [buffered signals].

Three card heights are allowed with VME; 3U, 6U, or 9U; a single slot card is 6T wide. Length is either 160mm or 340mm (Norm). The other possible lengths are: 100/160/220/280/340/400mm
Height is given in 'U', Length is given in 'mm', Width is given in 'T'; Most card sizes listed are one slot or 6T wide.

A size PWB = 3U x 160mm,
B size PWB = 6U x 160mm,
C size PWB = 6U x 340mm,
D size PWB = 9U x 340mm ... H x L x W {@ width=6T}

A, B, C, and D are VXI terms. VME normally only references 3U or 6U by a length.
VMEbus Extender cards come in any one of the board sizes listed above. Extender boards are used to extend the card under test out the front of the VME chassis [so it may be worked on]. The extender card will provide male connectors on one end of the card [to plug into the chassis backplane] and female connectors on the other end of the card [to allow the test card to plug in]. A VMEbus card extender may be either passive or active. A passive board extender simply runs the VMEbus signal from the backplane to the card under test. In some cases passive board extenders also provide jumpers or shunts to by-pass signals. Active extender boards provide signal buffering between the card under test and the VME bus backplane.

This is a General listing of COTS [Commercial-Off-The-Shelf] VME [Versa Module Europa] card Manufacturers and Related sites. The board products the companies produce or manufacturer are listed under the company name which are indexed in alphabetic order. In addition to functional VME cards, VME Prototyping Boards, and Active/Passive VME Extender Board Manufacturers are also listed above.
