RF Coaxial Interconnect System VPX Compatible​

What is VITA 67?

VITA 67 is a VPX standard for blindmate coax connectors that allows high density, high performance RF connections to be made between a backplane and plug-in modules.

VITA 67.1 & .2​

VITA 67 components are connector blocks that utilize SMPM RF interfaces and cables to make the electrical connection between circuit boards. Designed to accommodate 0.086” or 0.047" diameter cables, the rugged VITA 67 blocks are perfectly complemented by their pairing with Teledyne Storm Microwave’s Storm Flex® 086 and 047​ cables.

These Storm Flex® cables have the flexibility to handle tight bends, and are known for their durability and superior electrical performance. The VITA 67–Storm Flex® combination is ideally suited for not only commercial applications, but also the often harsh requirements of military and aerospace applications.

VITA 67.3

VITA 67.3 Nano 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.
