Evolution 2.0 series connectors are designed, optimized and qualified to data rates in excess of 32Gb/s making these connectors the fastest VITA 46.30 connectors in the world. They are tested to VITA levels and are backward intermateable with R-VPX, R-VPX EVO 1, and VITA 46 qualified connectors.
SC39
Light, small, strong push/pull, and quick release connectors.
SD308
For Sea, Air or Land, these connectors are SEALED!
Amphenol’s SD308 Sealed D-Subminiature Connectors are available in the full range of standard density and hi-density insert arrangements, pin and socket contacts. These connectors are supplied with fixed screw-machine contacts and are available
in Solder Cup, Straight PCB, and Right Angle PCB terminations.
Secure Locking R/A Cable Connectors
SV Microwave's secure locking QuarterBack® R/A cable connectors utilize a quarter turn bayonet style coupling nut with a locking feature for standard female SMP / SMPM interfaces. All SV QuarterBack® products are ideal for high vibration and test applications that require a large number of mating cycles. This newly expanded product line now offers cable connectors in a right angle orientation.
Series Five Connectors
The MIL-DTL-38999 series of connectors was born in the 1960’s and Amphenol has continued to innovate new features and capabilities. The new Series Five connector is the next evolutionary step in the impressive D38999 lineage. Combining all of the capabilities of the traditional 38999 style connector in a lighter, smaller, and more compact package to support the military and aerospace industry.
SIAL
SIAL is a modular high-density interconnection system that has the capability to mix signal and coax contacts. The contact technology developed for this connector allows the use of thermal clamps. With 3 sizes of modules, the SIAL connectors provide the arrangement needed, from 18 to 392 contacts.
Signal Contacts
Featuring several terminations (Crimp, Solder, PC Tail, Compliant pins), the signal contacts are ideal for MIL-DTL-38999/EN3645/2M, SIM/EN4165, EN2997, ARINC600, or even relay sockets. They're in accordance with the latest standards (European - EN3155)
SIHD
The SIHD connector combines excellent electrical performances with high contact density within a
robust housing, which can withstand extreme environmental conditions. In addition, the lateral displacement capability allows the use of thermal clamps for heat management, as well as a more relaxed positional tolerance on the backplane.
SIM Connectors Series 3
Scoop-proof, modular and rectangular, Amphenol Air LB France's EN4165 / SIM series 3 consists of shells and modules, which together create an integrated solution for signal and power.
