Hi-Speed, High Density
Modular Interconnects
VITA 46, VITA 48 & VITA 60 FOOTPRINT COMPATIBLE
The VIPER
®
Connector is a shielded, high-density,
hi-speed modular interconnect with
press-fit termination.
Amphenol Backplane Systems* developed the
VIPER interconnect platform to meet or exceed
future avionic high-level requirements such as:
•
High-level vibration and mechanical shock
protection
•
Condensing moisture resistance
•
Ruggedization in packaging that can scale to
higher bandwidths without costly and time-
consuming chassis redesigns. The VIPER
connector platform offers the ability to scale from 80
Mbps to over 10 Gb/s while retaining the same Vita 46
platform slot pitch at 20.3mm to 25.4mm.

Key Features of VIPER
®
•
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
•
±0.52mm nom. translation in fully mated condition
•
ESD protection supports 2-level maintenance designs
•
Flexible modular design is ideal for standard 3U and 6U
applications, as well as unique custom configurations
incorporating RF and fiber optic MT solutions
