Ruggedized VME64x

Amphenol’s Ruggedized VME64x rectangular connectors were developed with the military’s need for rugged connector solutions and the trend toward utilizing COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) boards, backplanes or chassis. By utilizing a rugged contact system, our VME64x connectors can withstand the shock and vibration environments that other COTS VME connectors cannot. They also meet requirements for Level 2 maintenance. Compliant with VME64x specification, these connectors will mount to standard VME64x cards and backplanes but cannot be intermated to other manufacturers. 

• Metal Shells mount directly to the standard VME card mounting holes offering support and protection of the inserts
• Metal Shells create a faraday cage around the contacts preventing ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) on the module side
• Single shell houses all 3 module inserts
• P1/J1/P2/J2/P0/J0 can be used in different combinations (contact Amphenol)
• Robust contact system
  - Module contacts are thru-hole solder tail
  - Backplane contact are either thru-hole solder tail or solderless compliant tail
  - Contacts meet all requirements of BS-VME64x-AA Specification, most notably a maximum mating force of 59.4 lbs.
• Offered in Standard 6U Configuration
• Footprint as described in VITA ANSI/VITA 1.1-1997 VME64x Specification
