Custom Spring Probe Interposers

Utilizes low profile, high density spring probe technology

Smiths Interconnect interposers can be soldered or compression mounted enabling a reduction in manufacturing costs and providing space savings in a confined area. Interposers can be designed to handle substantial amounts of power safely with some individual contacts capable of withstanding as much as 30 Amps in free air. Spring probe technology in custom connectors allows for the integration of mixed signals and functions within a single connector design. This innovative approach enables greater versatility by combining multiple functionalities, such as power, signal, and data transmission, into one compact and efficient solution.

    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.
