VPX/CPCI Card Pullers and Extraction Handles

Controlled Module Insertion and Extraction for Rugged Electronics Chassis

Perseus card pullers and extractor handles provide controlled mechanical leverage for plug-in modules in VPX, CPCI, ASAAC, SEM, VITA 48, and custom chassis formats. Available configurations include standard, heavy-duty, compact, and custom series with aerospace aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium material options by program requirement.

Controlled Module Insertion and Extraction for Rugged Electronics Chassis

Perseus card pullers and extractor handles provide controlled mechanical leverage for plug-in modules in VPX, CPCI, ASAAC, SEM, VITA 48, and custom chassis formats. Available configurations include standard, heavy-duty, compact, and custom series with aerospace aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium material options by program requirement.

Core Technical Features

Controlled Extraction Leverage:

Extractor handles help technicians insert or remove high-pin-count modules without loading connectors or PCB structures unevenly.

Module Format Compatibility:

Configuration options support 3U/6U VPX, CPCI, ASAAC, SEM, VITA 48, single-wide, double-wide, and custom module formats.

Material and Finish Options:

Aerospace aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium options can be paired with anodize or passivation for environmental resistance.

Safety and Retention Details:

Integrated locking mechanisms and extraction limit stops can be reviewed where accidental release or over-travel must be controlled.

Typical Applications

VPX and ASAAC Module Chassis

Shipboard Processing Modules

Ground Mobile Command Systems

Test and Calibration Equipment

Series Selection Guide

Card Puller Selection Guide

Parameter	Available Configuration	Engineering Notes
Compatibility	3U/6U VPX / CPCI / ASAAC / SEM / VITA 48	Confirm connector insertion force and front-panel geometry.
Module Formats	Single-wide / double-wide / custom	Handle geometry should match module pitch and neighboring clearance.
Series Options	Standard / heavy-duty / compact / custom	Select by module mass, extraction resistance, and available front-panel area.
Materials	Aerospace aluminum / stainless steel / titanium options	Material selection balances mass, strength, corrosion, and program requirements.
Surface Finish	Anodize / passivation	Finish should match environmental exposure and mating hardware.
Safety Features	Locking mechanisms / extraction limit stops	Use where accidental release or over-travel must be controlled.

Card Puller Overview
Perseus card pullers and extraction handles are designed for controlled insertion and removal of plug-in modules in rugged electronics chassis. The product family supports standard and custom module formats where connector protection, repeatable service access, and front-panel ergonomics matter.
A useful selection review compares module format, connector insertion force, available front-panel space, material preference, finish requirement, and any locking or over-travel control needs before drawings are released.
Module geometry
Provide 3U/6U format, pitch, handle orientation, and panel drawing.
Mechanical load
Define extraction resistance, module mass, and service frequency.
Finish requirement
Confirm anodize, passivation, or custom finish needs.
