HPW Series

Signal & Power PCB Connector

HPW series is a medium density PCB connector with mixed signal and power contacts, up to 15A each. The HPW Series has been designed to resist to the high levels of shock and vibration in the harshest environments of the commercial aerospace and defense markets.

Features & Benefits

  • Mixed power & signal PCB connector
  • Qualified at a system level on both civil and military programs
  • Rugged design
  • Signal & power high reliability contacts

Overview

Available with 2 contact size versions, size 22 signal and size 16 power contacts, HPW Series uses the proven Hypertac® hyperboloid contact system renowned for eliminating contact fretting, hence reducing wear rates and avoiding system failure and down-times. These features combine with current carrying capacity up to 15 Amps and low insertion-extraction forces to provide significantly enhanced quality and reliability performance compared with other more commodity connector solutions.

    Optical Interconnect Design Challenges in Space

    Aeronautical applications face many design challenges that are unique to their intended environment. The best practices for optical interconnect design for space applications include the use of radiation-resistant technology to defend against space radiation, the use of components and devices that are designed to operate in harsh environments, and meeting size, weight, and power (SWaP) and long-term reliability requirements. Finally, it is recommended to follow open standards like VPX and to look for solutions that comply with MIL and quality standards.
