Harsh-Environment Rectangular and Board Level Connectors

Amphenol Aerospace's board-level and rectangular connector portfolio continues to evolve as speeds increase and size decreases for embedded systems. The R-VPX connector series, which includes the R-VPX, R-VPX Evolution, and R-VPX Evolution 2, are some of the fastest VITA 46 connectors in the market, achieving speeds in excess of 25 Gb/s. Many of our rectangular connectors, such as our LRM surface mount connectors, ruggedized SATA connectors (R-SATA). and HDB3/HSB3 high-density connectors, utilize our bristle brush contacts for low mating forces, multiple points of contact, and 100,000 mating cycles.
