VITA 67.3 Nano RF & SMPM Connector & Cable Assemblies

Home Products VITA 67.3 Overview

Micro-Interconnect
Solutions for Big Challenges

VITA 67.3 Nano RF & SMPM assemblies are a part of VPX systems and is the latest spec revision that allows for more customization with RF connectors.

The embedded computing architecture allows for fixed plug-in module contacts mating to a spring loaded backplane. The VITA standard ensures interoperability across all vendors with high electrical performance to 40 GHz and above. The Teledyne Storm Microwave advantage comes through with our StormFlex® cable. The combination of these RF contacts and StormFlex cable creates a robust assembly that is flexible, durable, and reliable.
