Mezzanine Connector Races At 5 GHz+

Mezalok debuts as a high-reliability mezzanine connector that more than doubles the speed and durability of comparable components, making it a viable option for military and commercial aerospace applications. The VITA 61 connector handles more than 5 GHz and employs a super-redundant, mini-box four-point contact system for separable interface and reliability as well as LCP plastic housings for thermal stability. Suiting both stacking or mezzanine applications, the connector offers stack heights of 10 mm,12 mm, and 18 mm and 60 and 114 positions. TYCO ELECTRONICS, Harrisburg, PA. (877) 623-4766.
