VPT – Avionics, Military, and Space Power Solutions

VPT is a globally specialized manufacturer of high-reliability DC-DC converters and EMI filters designed for avionics, military, and space applications. Power modules used for decades serve in commercial and military aircraft, helicopters, missile and weapon systems, unmanned vehicles, and satellite/space platforms.

VPT’s product range; isolated DC-DC converters, point-of-load regulators, EMI filters, and complementary accessories allow you to establish a complete power architecture at the board and system level. It offers “flight-ready” solutions with wide input voltage ranges, operating temperatures down to -55°C, and test processes compliant with MIL-PRF and space standards.

Space Series – Space Grade DC-DC Converters

VPT’s space series products consist of radiation-hardened or radiation-tolerant DC-DC converters specifically designed for LEO, MEO, GEO, lunar orbit, and deep space missions.

  • Series offering options at different TID/SEE levels according to the radiation environment (for example; VSC, SV, SVL, SVR, SGRB families) are optimized for use in different blocks of satellite power architecture.
  • With MIL-PRF-38534 Class K and similar space-grade screening levels, they provide solutions suitable for actual mission conditions, having passed radiation, temperature cycling, mechanical vibration, and shock tests.
  • Output power and voltage options allow for flexible combinations for RF loads, digital loads, FPGA/ASIC supplies, and subsystem power.

For this reason, VPT is one of the most preferred companies in both classical geosynchronous satellite programs and next-generation small satellite projects.

Avionics & Military Series – Aircraft and Defense Platforms

Avionics and military series DC-DC converters are designed for applications with harsh environmental conditions such as aircraft, helicopters, unmanned vehicles, and land and sea platforms.

  • DV, VXR, and VPT series, which can operate directly compatible with aircraft power lines (e.g., 28 VDC) with wide input voltage ranges and multiple output options, allow for flexible design at the board level.
  • MIL-PRF-38534 Class H/Class K production and screening options facilitate designing in compliance with standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, and MIL-STD-1275.
  • With hermetic metal packages or package options highly resistant to harsh environmental conditions, they offer long-lasting performance against mechanical vibration and shock, humidity, and thermal cycles.

These series are used safely in mission-ready avionics units, radar systems, mission computers, communication systems, and high-power-density defense electronics projects.

Hi-Rel COTS Series – Durable and Cost/Performance Balanced Solutions

The Hi-Rel COTS family covers high-reliability COTS DC-DC converter solutions designed for projects with harsh field conditions that do not require full space/military grade.

  • With a package structure resistant to harsh environmental conditions, a wide temperature range, and high vibration resistance, it provides long-term use in aircraft, land vehicles, sea platforms, and unmanned systems.
  • Thanks to a stricter test and quality regime compared to standard DC-DC converter modules, it offers an ideal solution for projects requiring a cost/performance balance.

EMI Filters and Accessories

VPT also simplifies system-level design with EMI filters, f/e modules, thermal pads, and lead extender accessories that complement its DC-DC converters. Thus, you use a compatible product family to meet both EMI/EMC and thermal design requirements.

As Merit Elektronik, we provide VPT’s space, avionics/military, and Hi-Rel COTS product families to projects in Türkiye with technical support, design guidance, and long-term supply assurance.
