FDR-1000 Construction
The FDR-1000 PC is designed and constructed in accordance with the general requirements of MIL-STD-454.
Thermal Design
The cooling of the components on the FDR-1000 PC cards, Power Supply and the CPU chip is accomplished by conduction through the aluminum enclosure of the unit which is built as an heat-sink.
External Connectors
External connectors are used for interfacing with the subassemblies or equipment and are in accordance with requirement of MIL-STD-454. Connector mating bodies are keyed, and keyed locations are varied to prevent improper installation.
Identification and Marking
The marking and labels of the equipment meet the requirements of MIL-M-13231.
Processes and Treatment
Processes and treatments (welding, soldering, brazing and corrosion (resistance protection) of the enclosure is in accordance with MIL-STD-454.
Moisture & Fungus Resistance
FDR-1000 PC assemblies are moisture resistant and are not nutrients for fungi. The PC Cards are treated with Conformal coating for protection. The coating conforms to MIL-I-46058C.
External Finishes
The computer external surfaces are chemically treated prior to painting. All residues and contaminants are removed prior to applying one coat of primer. The finish is semi-gloss per FED-STD-595.
