This is a listing of VME Equipment Enclosures and VME Chassis manufacturers. The types of products or equipment they produce are listed under the company name, in alphabetic order. There are a number of terms, which all mean the same thing, used to describe an electronic enclosure which hold circuit cards: Case, Chassis, Crate, Mainframe, and Enclosure. The enclosures may also be sub-divided into Rack-Mount, Wall-mount, Tower, or table-top; Commercial, Industrial, Rugged, or Military. A Sub-rack is not a complete electronic enclosure and may only include a metal frame and a card cage. A Card Cage has no enclosure at all and is just a frame [with card guides] to support the particular CCA form factor used.

VME Chassis Manufacturers

A VME Chassis will be between 1 and 21 slots (the maximum). Care should be taken producing a 21 slot chassis, with the addition of slide rails the width may exceed a standard 19" [EIA-310] rack. A backplane will start with 2 slots, one slot has no value.

The VMEbus chassis may except 3U cards, or 3U and 6U cards, and now 9U cards. The chassis may have a separate card cage to handle the 3U cards. The chassis only need provide the P1 side of the back plane when only 3U cards are used. 6U cards require both P1 and P2, and 9U would require the P1, P2, and P3. A P0 connector (between P1 and P2) for 6U cards may also be provided. Regardless of the size of the card the chassis will accept (3U, 6U, or 9U) all the slots are on .8" centers. The chassis may be a table-top or rack-mount.

VME32 provided a +5volt,and +/-12volt supply; VME64 added a 3.3volt supply. The 5volt supply should provide only 50mV of ripple. No currently produced power supply meets 50mV, I've seen notes on the web indicating an attempt to update this number. Refer toVME Bus Description
