7. Power converters (ASRAAM – Advanced Short Range Air to Air Missiles)
Power converters are devices used to convert electrical energy from one form to another.
They are critical devices in military applications.
Advanced short range air to air missiles, for instance, rely on power converters to enable them to launch and get to the target as specified.
Any failure in these converters can be very catastrophic.
Thus, military PCBs for power converters are built with features that allow it to withstand any harsh conditions including thermal duress, high electrical amperage, etc.
