100G VPX Backplane
Amphenol-BSI 100G VPX Backplane is based on the OpenVPX65 BKP3-CEN08-15.2.16-n profile. We have used our experience from 30 years developing 100G backplane systems to the IT/Datacom market. Next-generation VPX interconnects allow the signal transition path to expand to 100G bandwidth through a traditional copper backplane. Backplane assembly and test in the production environment are critical.
1100 Modules
The Amphenol Air LB France's 1100 series consists of Quick junction modules for signal and low current distribution, where sealing, space and weight-saving are prime requirements. Suited for wiring optimization, then offering weight and cost savings, these track-mounted modules (on metallic track) are available from 6 contacts size 12 up to 21 contacts size 22 in different contact configurations.
127/HE801-HE804-HE807
The 127/HE8 series is a medium-density range of multi-contact plug-in connectors for PCB. This range of 2.54 staggered grid, low profile connectors offers the widest range of hardware, guides, and contact terminations, providing more flexibility to PCB designers.
1750 Modules
The Amphenol Air LB France's 1750 series consists of Quick junction modules for signal and low current distribution, where sealing, space and weight-saving are prime requirements. Suited for wiring optimization, then offering weight and cost savings, these track-mounted modules (on metallic or composite track) are available in different contact configurations (size 12 to 22).
1765 Electronic Component Carrying Modules
Derived from the 1750 series, the Amphenol Air LB France's 1765 modules series consists of components carrier versions that can be fitted with diodes, resistors, fuses, etc. Perfectly suited in a cable harness to easily insert a component. They offer a perfect sealing (IP66 / IP68 and IP69K), space and weight-saving. Mounting on composite or metallic tracks.
1900SIM connectors
Amphenol Air LB France's 1900SIM is a '3 modules' rectangular connector providing versatility and high density within a small form factor. They come in a composite version for weight-saving applications and are available in plated versions for shielding applications. Many accessories and backshells also available.
2M Micro38999 Connectors
Designed for applications that demand size and weight savings without sacrificing the electrical and mechanical performance of a standard MIL-DTL-38999. 70% Lighter and 50% Smaller than Similar MIL-DTL-38999 Connectors. Fully Intermateable, Intermountable, and Interchangeable with Mighty Mouse.
30° Solderless PCB Compression Mount Connectors
SV Microwave has released a new line of PCB connectors with a brand-new body orientation angled 30° away from the PCB. The body of these connectors has been thoughtfully designed to improve the electrical performance over the standard Surface Mount PCB connectors. Achieve Edge Launch-like performance anywhere on the board!
38999 Integral Accessories
D38999 Series III style connectors featuring an integral banding platform or integral strain relief eliminate the need for an additional backshell accessory. The banding platform incorporated into the rear of the connector shell allows the user to attach the shield of their cable directly to the connector, providing superior EMI shielding, enhanced sealing, and ease for overmold applications.
38999 Reduced Flange Jam Nut Receptacle
The 38999 reduced flange connector provides more density on the panel with a 41% surface saving in harsh environment applications. This connector is designed for harsh environment applications across multiple markets, such as ground vehicles, data acquisition equipment, planes, helicopters, avionics calculators, and UAVs where superior electrical performance and surface savings are needed.
711 Databus
A range of transformer couplers, connectors, terminators, and assemblies compliant with MIL-STD-1553B and qualified for use on Typhoon aircraft. Connectors feature #10 Twinax contacts and are available in simplex and multi-contact versions. Both simplex and duplex in-line Couplers are available as well as connectorised versions with up to 10 transformers.
75 Ω VITA 67.3 SMPM Contacts
SV Microwave continues to expand its 75 Ω RF product offering with a new set of SMPM VITA 67.3 Backplane and Plug-In Contacts. The newest revision to the VITA 67.3 spec includes 75 Ω coaxial interfaces to support higher-speed video, which will become increasingly prevalent in embedded systems applications, particularly within the SpaceVPX architecture.
Adapter / Saver
D-Sub Gender Changers and Adapters offer a simple solution to change the functionality of your existing connector. A D-Sub Connector Saver can add longevity and durability to your system. Both are optimal to use in the prototype phase of your project.
