ICO 14 Slot Backplane PICMG 1.0.12xPCI 1xISA

The ICO ICP PX14-S3 stands apart from typical industrial backplanes by combining a massive 14-slot expansion capacity with strict adherence to the PICMG 1.0 standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of legacy single-board computers. This passive backplane integrates twelve 33 MHz PCI slots and one 8 MHz ISA slot, making it an ideal choice for system integrators who need to support mixed-generation add-in cards without compromising signal integrity or reliability.

Highlights

• Supports one PICMG 1.0 single-board computer (SBC) slot for CPU integration
• Twelve PCI slots operating at 33 MHz for high-speed peripherals
• One ISA slot for legacy I/O and industrial control cards
• Passive backplane design reduces points of failure and simplifies maintenance
• AT/ATX power connector compatible with 20/24-pin supplies
• Provides +5V, +12V, -5V, -12V, and +3.3V rails for diverse card requirements
• LED indicator for power status monitoring
• RoHS, CE, and FCC compliant for global deployment

In daily use

System builders will appreciate the robust 4-6 layer PCB construction and standard ATX/industrial chassis mounting holes, which allow the ICP PX14-S3 to drop into existing enclosures with minimal modification. The backplane operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C and withstands storage conditions as low as -20°C, making it suitable for factory floors, test benches, and embedded systems. With a relative humidity tolerance of 5% to 95% non-condensing, it handles challenging environments without corrosion or signal degradation.
