Smiths Connectors’ ruggedized 2 mm cPCI Series addresses the market need for a

high reliability connector solution which meets the mechanical footprint and electrical

performance of the Compact PCI specification. Highly optimized for durability and high

speed performance, the cPCI connectors utilize the superior Hypertac hyperboloid

contact technology. The 0.4 mm Hypertac contacts in the backplane provide a

current rating of 1 A and data rate performance up to 3.125 Gbps with less

than 8 mΩ contact resistance. This combined with optimized lead traces

provides exception performance in high speed signal applications.

Our connectors have completed and exceeded rigorous testing from

NASA for extreme environmental conditions, including thermal

excursions, corrosive atmospheres, excessive shock and vibration

and contact engagement/separation cycling. As a result, NASA

released specification S-311-P-822 naming Smiths Connectors |

Hypertac’s 2 mm cPCI as the mandated Compact PCI connector

in all NASA space flights.

The 2 mm cPCI Series are the high reliability connectors essential

in any mission critical applications that are fully interchangeable with

Compact PCI COTS systems and IEC 1076-4-101 compliant.
