SWaP: Reduce Size and Weight
Increase Power, Data and Bandwidth
Speed Design with Open Architecture Solutions
Next-generation processors need next-generation connectivity
to keep pace with the growing demand for bandwidth even as
space, weight, and power savings become critical.
TE Connectivity (TE) has been pushing the bandwidth envelope
by adapting high-speed commercial technology and combining it
with our expertise in rugged packaging. The results are board-level
interconnects that give you more performance in harsh military
and aerospace applications.
Beyond Speed
TE is also reducing size through higher contact densities and
supporting RF and optical interconnects at the board level
allowing contact, high-speed box-to-box connectivity. TE has a
full range of I/O connectors supporting rates up to 25+ Gb/s.
Meeting the Needs of Battlespaces
We are meeting the demanding needs of battlespaces with
ruggedized copper and fiber interconnect and cable assemblies.
And we are helping to protect systems with lightweight shielding
and EMI-immune datapaths.
TE is focusing our technology to minimize size, weight and
power consumption, to increase bandwidth, and to enable open
architecture systems.

VPX Compliant Solutions
As the latest standard architecture evolving
from VMEbus, the VPX standard meets the
needs for data-intensive processing in the
aerospace and defense industries, where both
ruggedness and high-speed performance
are crucial. Supporting switched fabric
architecture, VPX systems are designed
for flexible application of demanding
high-speed protocols, such as 10G and 100G
Ethernet, PCIe Gen4, RapidIO, InfiniBand,
and HyperTransport, in ground, aerospace,
and marine applications.
Scalable
VPX systems are highly scalable and flexible,
supporting both 3U and 6U formats to meet
the widest range of needs. The VPX backplane
interconnect uses the TE 7-row MULTIGIG RT
2 connector system to support both single-
ended and differential signals.
Open Architecture
As a widely used standard, VPX promotes
interoperability, a healthy choice of suppliers,
and economies of scale that result from
higher board volumes. TE Connectivity is an
active participant and standards driver for
organizations like VITA and SOSA and has a
portfolio of products aligned to their standards.
Ruggedness
MULTIGIG RT connectors are built for extreme
environments on and beyond the earth’s
atmosphere. TE knows that system critical
connections in aerospace and defense
systems can often mean life or death, for
this reason TE has tested and proven the
MULTIGIG RT connector system for shock,
vibration, humidity, corrosion, durability, and
all in extreme temperatures. This extreme
ruggedness is designed into MULTIGIG RT to
ensure successful missions and to extended life
spans in critical environments where repair is
impossible, or overly expensive.
Flexible
Not only does VPX accommodate new
technologies, it has expanded beyond
backplane/daughterboard signaling to
embrace mezzanine application, power
modules, and optical and RF connectivity—all
with the goal of providing unmatched flexibility
and capabilities for embedded computing.
High Speeds, Multimedia,
Maximum Flexibility
TE’s portfolio of VPX systems gives you a
complete array for high-speed data, optical,
RF, power, and mezzanine connectivity. More
choice means more flexibility in achieving
specific system architectures with standards-
based solutions. Get the high-speed signal
integrity advanced applications require in
rugged, reliable connectors.

Modular MULTIGIG RT 2 Connector System with
Data Rates to 10+ Gb/s
The MULTIGIG RT 2 connector, the standard for VITA 46, represents
a huge step forward in the world of rugged computing and C4ISR
enabling technology. The connectors support speeds to 10+ Gb/s,
providing a comfortable performance margin in VPX applications.
This modular connector system features a protected pinless
backplane connector and wafer-based design in place of
pin contacts. Wafers, available for dierential, single-ended,
and power needs, can be easily modified to support specific
customer needs for characteristic impedance, propagation
delay, and other electrical parameters. This lightweight
connector system also oers built in ESD features, enabling field
serviceability, and is fully qualifies for VITA 47 environments.
Ultra-Rugged MULTIGIG RT 2-R Connectors
MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors are an evolution of MULTIGIG
RT 2 connectors, designed to oer even more ruggedness and
reliability in demanding high-vibration environments. They
go beyond VITA 47 environmental performance to meet the
demanding requirements of VITA 72.
The connectors are specified for VITA 78 SpaceVPX fault-tolerant
interoperable backplanes and modules. The lightweight connectors
oer low outgassing and resist the growth of tin whiskers to high
reliability in the challenging environment of space.
Backward compatible to all existing VITA 46 daughtercards,
rugged MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors have a pinless interface
tested to 10,000 mating/unmating cycles. The connector has been
torture tested by exposing a 6U VPX test unit to random vibration
levels of 0.2 g2/Hz for 12 hours.

also fully compatible with VPX packaging to make it easy
and convenient to achieve RF connectivity within a well-
established architecture.
The contacts tolerate generous misalignment to allow blind
mating and be configured to eliminate the possibility of
stubbing. The contacts are housed in robust stainless steel
or aluminum modules that hold four or eight contacts. The
modules are configured to provide RFI/EMI shielding between
the RF contacts and provide a high level of adjacent channel
isolation of at least 100 dBc up through 40 GHz.

VITA 67.3 MODULES
VITA 67.3 NanoRF Modules and Contacts
A higher density RF coax module, twice the density of VITA
67 SMPM RF modules used in VPX embedded computing
applications. Half and full size module sizes can retain up to 12 or
18+ RF contacts, with options for customizing contact count and
position. The daughtercard modules are mounted to the card in
the VPX Plug-In module, and the backplane module into
the chassis backplane.
The interface features a floating insert to pre-align RF contacts
before engagement. Radial and axial contact float assures final
alignment of the contacts and keeps the contacts fully engaged
for excellent RF performance under harsh environments.
The contact design supports frequencies up to 70 GHz, and is
designed to terminate to standard .047” and .086” semi-rigid and
flexible cables.

VITA 62 MULTI-BEAM XLE Power Connectors
The MULTI-BEAM XLE power connector, specified for
the VPX VITA 62 power supply standard, oers 50 A and
20 A contacts.
The design is hot pluggable, tolerates mating misalignment, and
supports VPX architecture.
Higher input voltage of 270V DC is required for select
applications, including altitudes of 60-70k ft for military
avionics. New VITA 62.1 and 62.2 variations meet creep/
clearance distance requirements, slots are required in the
boards between contacts. “Fins” are inserted between power
contacts and penetrate through the board slots to increase
breakdown voltage.
