KVPX Series

Resistant to shock and vibration

High speed up to 16 Gbps

Faceplate to protect daughtercard pins

Smiths Interconnect’s KVPX Series is an embedded interconnect

system that provides unrivaled performance in harsh environments

while adapting to the VITA standard design requirements. By

utilizing the Hypertac

superior hyperboloid contact technology,

the KVPX Series ensures exceptional tolerance to shock and

vibration, low insertion forces, high current ratings and the

lowest fretting corrosion available.

Fretting corrosion caused by the relative movement of contacts

during continual shock and vibration in harsh environments is

the leading cause of failure in aerospace, space, and defense

systems platforms. This is especially problematic at the backplane

interface of embedded computers such as avionics, radar,

sensors, motor controls, weapon systems, and space applications

such as launchers and satellites.

To solve this problem, Smiths Interconnect has integrated its legendary Hypertac contact system into a VITA 46/48 form factor by evolving

its space proven cPCI connector technology. The KVPX interconnect system has been standardized into VITA 63 and meets all of the

high-speed electrical requirements of VITA 46/48 while vastly increasing the mechanical reliability and physical ruggedness of unmated

connectors and modules.

To that end, the KVPX utilizes a reverse gender versus other backplane connectors, further protecting the male pins from damage. KVPX

connectors are qualified to EEE-INST-002 Level 1 and are equipped with Hypertac space-qualified 0.4 mm hyperboloid sockets and provide

immunity to shock and vibration fretting, numerous linear paths of contact, low-forces, high mating cycles, and a self-wiping cleaning

action that results in consistently better integrity in extreme environments.

The KVPX Series is highly engineered to guarantee top performance under the most severe condition in demanding applications where

failure is not an option.
