Thyez, France - A new COTS interconnect system exceeding VITA 78 standards has officially met every requirement for space-related missions. Amphenol Socapex unveils SpaceVPX, engineered for the systems that are not allowed to fail.
Space VPX connectors are especially designed for spatial application, unlike standard VPX connectors, the VITA 78 SpaceVPX is optimized for extreme environments: it operates under extreme temperatures (-55 °C to +105 °C), it has been tested for outgassing to NASA/ESA requirements and has passed vibration testing and shock testing according to VITA 72. It is also designed for use in radiation-exposed systems and assembled with materials compatible with harsh space conditions.
The last improvement but not the least, SpaceVPX is based on OpenVPX architecture and uses special wafer configurations that provide fault-tolerant and redundant connectivity for critical space missions.
