M-Series H-Pin® Socket

M-Series socket has long been the gold standard for reliability and out-of-the-box performance burn-in sockets. The high-quality components have been refined and enhanced over their lifetime for optimum performance and the highest quality. M-Series being one of the most mature products in the portfolio does not mean it lacks technology. In fact, quite the opposite, the M-Series offers all the same configurable features and high performance H-Pin contact technology to exceed performance expectations of the most demanding applications. The M-Series has been trusted to deliver uncompromised performance generation after generation. The small outline footprint provides design flexibility and allows for high socket density on the burn-in board.

    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.
