TE Connectivity VITA 46 Connectors
TE Connectivity VITA 46 Connectors architecture is featured in the TE MULTIGIG RT 2 backplane connector and TE MULTIGIG RT 2-R connector. MULTIGIG RT 2 modular connector system features a protected pinless backplane connector and wafer-based design in place of pin contacts.
MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors present an evolution of MULTIGIG RT 2 connectors and are designed to offer even more ruggedness and reliability in demanding high-vibration environments. MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors go beyond VITA 47 environmental performance to meet VITA 72 requirements. This series is also specified for VITA 78 SpaceVPX fault tolerant interoperable backplanes and modules.
