cPCI CONNECTOR SERIES
Smiths Connectors’ ruggedized 2 mm cPCI Series addresses the market need for a
high reliability connector solution which meets the mechanical footprint and electrical
performance of the Compact PCI specification. Highly optimized for durability and high
speed performance, the cPCI connectors utilize the superior Hypertac hyperboloid
contact technology. The 0.4 mm Hypertac contacts in the backplane provide a
current rating of 1 A and data rate performance up to 3.125 Gbps with less
than 8 mΩ contact resistance. This combined with optimized lead traces
provides exception performance in high speed signal applications.
Our connectors have completed and exceeded rigorous testing from
NASA for extreme environmental conditions, including thermal
excursions, corrosive atmospheres, excessive shock and vibration
and contact engagement/separation cycling. As a result, NASA
released specification S-311-P-822 naming Smiths Connectors |
Hypertac’s 2 mm cPCI as the mandated Compact PCI connector
in all NASA space flights.
The 2 mm cPCI Series are the high reliability connectors essential
in any mission critical applications that are fully interchangeable with
Compact PCI COTS systems and IEC 1076-4-101 compliant.
