VPC announces a high-speed PCB option

March 16, 2016

Waynesboro, VA. Virginia Panel Corp. (VPC) has announced its Snap-In-Modular (SIM) VTAC right-angle insert. Capable of speeds greater than 10 Gb/s, the SIM VTAC right-angle insert is suitable for a variety of applications that require a high-speed PCB solution.

The SIM VTAC right-angle inserts are available individually or as full-size or small PCB adapters. The small PCB adapter solution comes with a retention insert to provide added rigidity and ensure proper connections between the right angle insert and the double-ended SIM VTAC insert. The small PCB solution is compact and modular, taking up a fraction of the space of a full-size PCB adapter.

The SIM technology is compatible with a variety of off-the-shelf interfaces, including: USB 3.0, RJ45, Mini SAS, and HDMI. The added compatibility with popular interfaces is convenient to the customer and shortens lead time.

All SIM inserts are intermixable and compatible with 90 Series SIM modules and i2 MX connectors.
