Abstract: A Versa Module Europa (VME) adapter assembly is configured to operatively couple a subsystem to a five row VME64x chassis. The VME adapter assembly includes an adapter circuit board having a mating contact area proximate to a chassis-mating edge, and at least one area proximate to a system-connecting edge that is configured to couple to the subsystem. A mating plug housing is coupled to the mating contact area and may include a chassis interface insert defining a mating interface area having five aligned rows of contact apertures. The five aligned rows of contact apertures are configured to mate with a same number of aligned rows of contact pins within a backplane connector of the five row VME64x chassis.

Abstract: A power control system and related methods are disclosed herein to allow convenient distribution of a variety of different power sources to various electrical systems under test. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a modular power control system includes a multipin power input connector adapted to receive a plurality of supplied power types associated with corresponding pins of the power input connector. A plurality of multipin power output connectors are provided. The supplied power types are associated with corresponding pins of the power output connectors. A plurality of power distribution modules associated with the power output connectors are provided. Each module is adapted to selectively route a selected one of the supplied power types received by a pin of the input connector to a corresponding pin of its associated power output connector.
