SV Microwave has developed an extensive portfolio of VITA 67 RF products, including the SMPM and SMPS series, designed for high performance and rugged durability in VPX platforms. These RF connectors and cables deliver interoperability for chassis and payload cards, complemented by adapters and accessories for point-to-point connectivity.
The document provides detailed specifications for the VITA 67.3 SMPM and SMPS series, covering electrical and mechanical performance such as VSWR, insertion loss, and cross-talk. It also includes installation and removal instructions for backplane connector contacts and plug-in modules, along with electrical test data confirming specification compliance.
| VSWR | 1.5:1 Max |
|---|---|
| Insertion Loss | .12 * √(f(GHz)) |
| Cross Talk Requirement (3 MHz to 30 MHz) | ≥ 140 dB |
| Cross Talk Requirement (30 MHz to 3 GHz) | ≥ 120 dB |
| Cross Talk Requirement (3 GHz to 40 GHz) | ≥ 90 dB |
| Power Handling (3 MHz to 30 MHz) | 30 dBm |
| Power Handling (30 MHz to 40 GHz) | 20 dBm |
| Mating Cycles | 500 Min |
| Vibration Standard | MIL-STD-810 |
VITA 67.3 does not define the locations of the ports like 67.1 and 67.2, and floating contacts have been moved to the backplane side.
No, the design allows direct RF connector PCB launches on the carrier or mezzanine card, eliminating the requirement for RF cable assemblies, though cable options are still permitted.
