MicroMax has rolled out two M-Max VITA 75-compatible aluminium chassis that are offered as standalone products to accommodate system design needs. According to the company, the M-Max V75 (standard size) and the M-Max V75 Short conduction-cooled chassis provide IP66-rated dust and moisture protection and withstand shocks up to 10g and vibration up to 2g.

The fanless M-Max V75 holds up to two PC/104 or similar-size boards and weighs about 2.27kg. Also fanless, the M-Max V75 Short holds one PC/104 or similar-size board and weighs nearly 1.43kg. They are intended for extreme environments commonly found in transportation (air, marine, ground and rail), mining and industrial processing. The M-Max V75 and M-Max V75 Short dissipate 28W and 14W of heat, respectively.

Both the standard and short versions are tested and guaranteed over a temperature range of -40°C to 75°C. The front panel can be modified to customer specifications and can be equipped with a variety of connectors.
