VPX High Speed Backplane Connectors System
Introduction:
Metabee‘s VPX high-speed backplane connectors system meets the interface dimensions for VITA 46 VPX connectors. VPX connectors are also called VITA 46 connectors. VME bus International Trade Association (VITA) working group defined these connectors. They are military-grade, high-density, high-speed, and modular electrical connector. They enable reliable high-speed data transmission between daughterboards and backplanes.
The connector series supports speeds to 25+ Gb/s, providing a sufficient performance margin in VPX applications. This modular connector system includes a protected pinless backplane connector and a wafer-based design instead of pin contacts. Wafers are available for differential, single-ended, and power applications, and can be easily customized to meet specific customer requirements for characteristic impedance, propagation delay, and other electrical properties.
VPX connectors are used in a wide variety of applications, including defense, aerospace, and industrial automation.
Features:
- Compatible: Comply with VITA41/46/48 standards for VME bus systems;
- Fast: Meet bandwidth requirements ranging from 6.25Gbps to 25Gbps;
- Customizable: These connectors can be customized to meet unique application requirements;
- Modular: Modular combination structure can realize integrated mixed transmission of various signals such as differential, single-ended, power supply, single-ended and differential hybrid, etc.
- Press-fit: The terminal connection method is press-fit and no soldering is required
- Rugged: The contact design has four redundant contacts for optimal shock and vibration performance.
