Amphenol Aerospace MIL-HD2 Next-Gen VITA 91 Connectors

Amphenol Aerospace MIL-HD2 Next-Gen VITA 91 Connectors are designed in alignment with the open group Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) technical standard. These connectors offer a strong and easily accessible open architecture option for chassis designs with tighter card pitches where density and space constraints are crucial. The series has a greater density of 1.8mm pitch and is designed to meet 56Gb/s PAM4 data rate requirements. Typical applications include low-earth orbit satellites, cyber defense, radar, sensors, switches, integrated processors, and surveillance.
