OpenVPX™ Compliant Solutions

OpenVPX has become the defining framework for next-generation military embedded systems, standardizing how power and RF connectivity integrate from PCB to chassis. For engineers designing high-density defense platforms, connector selection directly impacts system reliability, installation timelines, and long-term maintainability.

Solderless termination technology has fundamentally changed what's achievable in constrained spaces, eliminating failure-prone solder joints while enabling tighter cable routing than traditional flexible or semi-rigid assemblies allow. Understanding which connector interfaces align with SOSA requirements, and how cable type affects insertion loss at frequencies up to 40 GHz, is critical when specifying interconnects for demanding applications.

Find out which SMPM, SMPS, and NanoRF configurations carry SOSA Aligned status, how backplane clearance requirements differ across cable types, and what the Assembly Part Number Builder system enables for custom configurations.
