VITA 60 provides an alternative backplane connector system for OpenVPX™ systems. To support the VITA 60 standard, ABS developed the VIPER® connector – a powerful backplane and daughtercard interconnect platform providing 63 differential signals per linear inch. The VIPER connector has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of the next generation of rugged military and aerospace applications.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
* Fully footprint-compatible with VITA 60, VITA 46 and VITA 48 standards
* Hi-Speed: the VIPER is designed for 10 + Gb/s data rate performance
* 100 ohm impedance for differential pair configuration
* The daughtercard assembly is optimized for differential pair architecture on a 1.8mm x 1.35mm grid
* The daughtercard is waferized, and provides single-ended and power wafer options integrated onto a stainless steel stiffener with stainless steel frame and keying elements
* The backplane has signal contacts that incorporate a highly reliable 4-point-of-contact beam design, and ground contacts which are robust compliant pin & contact fork design
