NanoRF Connector Module for VITA VNX+ Standard

TE Connectivity (TE) NanoRF connector modules for VNX+ are designed per the VITA 90.7 draft standard and offer advanced performance in many demanding aerospace and defense applications by providing high speed and density in a small form factor. The interface leverages VPX technology, featuring a floating insert to pre-align RF contacts and mechanical transfers (MTs) before engagement. Radial and axial contact float helps ensure final alignment of the contacts and keeps the contacts fully engaged for excellent RF performance under harsh environments.

This product addresses the emerging need for small form factor packages to support applications such as radio transceivers, signal and graphics processors, network and fabric switches, and other I/O modules requiring coaxial or optical MT signaling.

Features

• Floating inserts on backplane side with alignment features provide reliable, stub-free mating
• No special tooling needed for application and rework
• Fits in standard VNX+ backplane apertures with mounting design that accommodates varying backplane thicknesses
• Connector modules designed per an evolving set of standards per VITA 90 allowing intermateability and interoperability among suppliers of VNX+ compliant hardware for a robust supply chain
• High density package with open standard
• Leverages existing VPX NanoRF 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm contacts
• Small form factor saves space, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C)
