Rugged, Blind Mate Module Solutions to 110 GHz

Highly configurable, high-frequency RF ganged solution with blind mate module using size 20 or size 16 contacts, .047" cable assembly, or MT ferrule slot in a space saving, multi-port block.

Features

  • Rugged, blind mate (line card to line card, or backplane)

  • Standard, off-the-shelf solution with numerous configurations

  • Maximize density and functionality, reduce weight

  • Select push-on RF coaxial and/or rugged optics

  • Block (VBM): six standard configurations, quick-turn customs also available

  • Cable assemblies: VBM block pluggable with .047" cable assemblies to 110 GHz (RF047-A)

  • Or, use RF coaxial contacts: size 20, 50 Ohm (GPCC-20) or size 16, 75 Ohm (GPCC-16)

  • SWaP-C reductions make this ideal for military and aerospace applications

  • MT ferrule slot pluggable with FireFly™ optical transceivers or HALO® low-profile, rugged optical transceivers to 112 Gbps PAM4

  • Fits in VITA™ 90 VNX+ modules alongside Samtec's SEARAY™ right-angle high-speed digital array connector

  • VITA™ 90 VNX+™ embedded solutions up to 4.5x smaller than their 3U VPX predecessors
