Dimensions of PXI Cards That Fit Into Single PXI Slots

Hardware: PXI/CompactPCI>>Chassis

Problem:
I am looking at designing or purchasing a compactPCI card to go inside of my PXI chassis, but I'm not sure if it will fit correctly in the slot. What are the dimensions of a PXI card that will fit in a single PXI slot?

Solution:
PXI is an implementation of the compactPCI form factor so compactPCI cards of the 3U form factor will work in a PXI chassis. The dimensions for a single PXI slot card and the compactPCI 3U form factor are 3.96 in. x 6.3 in. x .8 in. or 10 cm x 16 cm x 2 cm. This is an industry standard set by the PXI System Alliance (PXISA). For more information, see the link below.
