VPT is a global provider of critical power conversion solutions for avionics, military, and space applications.
VPT is part of the HEICO Electronics Technologies Group (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE: HEI). HEICO’s customers include a majority of the world’s airlines and airmotives, as well as numerous defence and space contractors.
VPT’s isolated DC-DC converters, along with its family of non-isolated, synchronous, buck regulated, point-of-load DC-DC converters create an efficient and cost-effective power system for saving electronic board space, weight and heat.
VPT offers product lines that are ideal for military aircraft, weapons systems and unmanned systems.
With a wide variety of power conversion products, high efficiencies, wide temperature ranges and DLA Standard Microcircuit Drawings (SMDs) for most models, it is easy to match VPT’s power conversion products to a programme’s military specifications.
Ranging from 1w to 120w with a military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, VPT’s DV series of products are proven in military and avionics applications. They are designed to meet rigid military specifications and 100% hermetic with a host of circuit protection features.
VPT’s VXR series of rugged high-reliability DC-DC converters and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters are optimised for a broad range of applications. These include military ground vehicles, manned and unmanned aircraft that endure severe vibration, shock, temperature cycling and other adverse environments.
Furthermore, the VXR series features VPT’s patent-pending, epoxy-encapsulated V-SHIELD™ packaging, which is highly resistant to chemical, solvent and salt environments. This enables it to be fully compatible with high-volume manufacturing processes including aqueous wash, high-pressure sprays, cleaning solvents and wave solder.
VPT’s continual advancements in power conversion technology deliver many unique advantages across its product lines, including:
Each VPT product line offers several grades of environmental screening.
Depending on the product series selected, possible tests performed include:
VPT understands the urgency of many programme timelines. The company maintains industry-leading stock levels, allowing immediate shipment, fast delivery and short turnaround times.
VPT has been supplying high-reliability power converters to world-class organisations and programmes for more than two decades.
VPT products are included in military avionics programmes such as the F-15/16/18/22 and F35, the Watchkeeper UAV, Blackhawk Helicopter, EuroHawk UAV, Apache Helicopter, P-1 Aircraft and the Tornado Fighter.
The company’s strong heritage in space solutions includes the International Space Station, Pluto New Horizons, Worldview-3 satellite system, Atlas V, Falcon 9 and ExoMars.
As a global leader in avionics, military, space, and industrial applications power conversion solutions, VPT has awareness of the severe environments our products are guaranteed to encounter.
The 3A DVPL Series of DC-DC point-of-load converters can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional isolated DC-DC converters as part of a highly efficient, reliable, distributed power system.
Count on the DVETR for maximum functionality in a minimal, board space-saving size. The DVETR offers DC-DC power conversion, EMI filtering, and transient voltage spike suppression in a single, small, hermetic package.
The DVCH Series of DC-DC converters delivers just 1.5W in the most efficient, small-size package available today for use in critical-reliability applications. The extra-wide input voltage range, very low output noise, and high reliability ensures the DVCH is the perfect low-power choice for your next space or avionics programme.
Ideal for commercial and military aircraft, weapons systems and more, this line of DC-DC power converters is ready to fly when you are.
When your programme needs true military-grade high-reliability DC-DC converters, EMI filters and other power accessories qualified to MIL-PRF-38534 Class H and Class K, count on the proven products from VPT's DV Series.
