Amphenol's Ultra High Density (UHD) interconnect packaging solution combines high interconnect density (80 contacts per linear inch) and design flexibility with proven technologies to meet a wide range of advanced, high reliability packaging requirements. It is well suited for all military and aerospace programs.

The foundation of the UHD connector is a downsized version of the proven MIL-C-28859 tuning fork and MIL-C-28754 blade contact technologies. The UHD connector packages 396 contacts with two mounting attachments into the SEM-E format, using an eight rob 0.100" X 0.050" staggered grid to optimize trace routing through the backplane.

Backplane connectors use solderless compliant press-fit contacts. The module connectors are surface mounted to the module using rigid pin or flex-circuit terminations. The UHD connector has been designed to provide signal integrity and interconnect density to meet today's advanced system-level requirements while maintaining a robust design.

Designers faced with unique packaging requirements will appreciate the design flexibility of the UHD connector. A modular approach allows for straightforward incorporation of signal, pwer, coax, and fiber-optic inserts, as well as EMI shielding, all within the same connector footprint. This modular approach also enables the production of connectors that are longer or shorter than the basic SEM-E format.

Why Use UHD? There are many UHD connectors developed specifically to meet industry standard requirements, however, UHD's modular architecture enables Amphenol to produce connectors containing upwards of 680 contacts. Features such as coax, fiber-optic, power, EMI shielding and acommodations for module covers can be integrated into the UHD connector system. Connector length and body style can be tailored to meet specific needs, with a choice of rigid pin or flex-circuit terminations. Extender board connector configurations are also available so that customers can have access to probe and test modules that are electrically connnected to the backplane.
