PC/104+ Connectors

Available on this product

PC/104+ board stacking connectors utilize the unique Hypertac® contact system which improves the performance of the PC/104 platform by providing immunity to shock and vibration fretting, allowing for matched impedance and better signal integrity. The capabilities of Hypertronics’ ruggedized PC/104+ exceed all prior requirements for the form factor - PC/104-based platforms can now be used in a greater range of industries and applications.

The traditional stackable design eliminates the need for backplanes or metal card cages found throughout the range of embedded computing devices used in military systems. Hypertronics’ PC/104+ is interchangeable with PC/104+ COTS products and provides engineers with a high performance and highly reliable interconnect solution for their applications. PC/104+ will improve the performance and reliability of all current PC/104 bus architectures in existing applications while establishing a higher standard for the industry.

The contacts are housed in an LCP plastic insulator which exceeds the NASA space requirement for outgassing. Space applications require a higher level of shock and vibration performance and the ruggedized PC/104+ enables engineers to achieve this goal. PC/104+ is a highly engineered product designed specifically to allow for top signal integrity under all dynamic environmental conditions, which makes it a perfect fit for those applications where failure is not an option.

VME64x - Ruggedized Connectors

Hypertronics ruggedized VME64x interconnect solution comprises optimized contact lead traces, which provide superior performance in high-speed signal applications.

VME64x connectors are mechanically compliant with IEEE-1101.2 - 1992, supporting the premier embedded bus architecture. Aluminum frames provide ruggedness and condition cooling, and keying features ensure proper mating.

The phyical demands of critical applications require a higher standard of reliablity, and off-the-shelf connectors cannot stand up to the rigors of these types of applications where system failure is simply not an option. With the VME64x connector, Hypertronics¬ engineers have put together a complete solution that removes weakness of the electrical interface from the standard VME COTS architecture, reducing costs of developments, manufacturing, and ownership.

VME64x connectors benefit from the highly reliable Hypertac contact technology, which offers a significantly improved interface for immunity to shock and vibration together with low mating forces. Hypertac contact technology features a hyperboloid-shaped basket of individual spring wires that deliver the highest level of reliability and performance.

Hypertronics offers both standard and customizable VME64x solutions. With the VME64x connectors, manufacturers with critical applications are guaranteed a reliable, high-performance connector solution for situations in which the cost of failure is incalculable.

• COTS and Custom Applications
• Designed for severe environment applications with high levels of shock and vibration
• Mechanically compliant with IEEE-1101.2 -1992, ruggedization level 5
• Hypertac contacts with up to 100,000 mating cycles and low mating forces
• Stackable design of high speed modules feature round pins to mate with Hypertac contacts
• Optimized lead traces within modules provide superior performance in high speed applications
• Aluminum frames for ruggedness and conduction cooling
• Keying feature assures proper mating
• Shield prevents EMI/RFI

2mm Ruggedized Connector

The Hypertronics 2mm connector system is based on the legendary Hypertac contact, which provides immunity to shock and vibration fretting. Tested to military standards, the Hypertronics 2mm connector delivers high performance in a ruggedized CompactPCI format for mission critical applications such as military land systems, shipboard, and aerospace.

Configured on a 2mm center-line with six rows, the Hypertronics 2mm connector uses 0.4mm Hypertac contacts that feature less than eight milliohms of contact resistance and a current rating of 1.0A. Hypertronics optimized contact lead traces provide superior performance in high-speed signal applications, and the connectors are compatible with standard reflow soldering processes.

The 2mm connector is now available in both keyed and unkeyed configurations. Modular in design, the connector is variable in length and can be changed in increments of five contacts. Other benefits include: standard 2mm footprint; keying to ensure correct mating; and a high temperature LCP insulator that meets NASA outgassing requirements.

The connectors are interchangeable with the board layout on COTS systems and are reverse gender to commercial 2mm products. Adapters are available to mate with COTS 2mm connectors.

• Interchangeable with cPCI COTS Systems
• Hypertac contacts provide high reliability
• Standard 2mm footprint
• Immune to shock and vibration fretting
• High-temp LCP insulator meets NASA outgassing requirements
• Reverse Gender to Commercial 2mm Products
• Keying feature ensures proper mating
• Shield prevents EMI/RFI
