TE Connectivity's new connector design selected as VITA 100 standard.

Why TE Advancing embedded technology standards for all

The need for higher bandwidth and faster processing in defense and aerospace applications is driving high-speed, high-density, modular systems for rugged embedded computing applications. TE Connectivity’s MULTIGIG RT family has been the standard connector for VITA 46, and our VPX ecosystem continues to expand and open doors for new technologies. As VPX has evolved from backplane/daughterboard signaling to mezzanine application, power modules, and optical and RF connectivity, TE products have enabled and embraced these new capabilities.
TE is committed to fostering open architecture systems for the advancement of next-generation board-level connectivity. Our engineers are key members of the VITA organization and active in the Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) consortium.

VITA 46: MULTIGIG RT Connectors: TE’s MULTIGIG RT connectors, the standard for VITA 46, support speeds of 32+Gb/s, making them among the fastest rugged backplane connectors for embedded computing or VPX systems currently on the market.

VITA 67 RF Modules: VITA 67 RF modules from TE are modular systems designed specifically to allow backplane/daughtercard multi-contact mating within a robust platform to withstand the mechanical rigors of military and aerospace applications.

VITA 66: Optical Modules: Designed for rugged embedded computing applications, the fiber optic connectors are compatible with VPX and other high-performance standards. Connector module designs support half and full size modules, with new, higher density variants now available

VITA 61: Mezalok Connectors: TE’s Mezalok mezzanine connectors enables 32+ Gb/s and are designed for stacking or mezzanine applications for rugged embedded computing.

VITA 62: MULTI-BEAM XLE Power Connectors

VITA 62: MULTI-BEAM XLE Power Connectors: New VITA 62.1 (3-phase) and 62.2 (standard) connector variations meet creep/clearance distance requirements, with slots required in the boards between contacts.
