Product Overview

VITA 67.2 Connectors

VITA 67.2 connectors deliver high-density RF performance in a rugged, VPX-compatible design built for mission-critical systems. Supporting up to eight SMPM contacts per module and frequencies up to 26.5 GHz (with higher-frequency options available), these connectors maximize RF channel density while maintaining excellent signal integrity. The blind-mate, push-on interface simplifies installation and maintenance, while floating contacts accommodate misalignment for reliable performance in high shock and vibration environments. Ideal for applications such as electronic warfare, radar, SIGINT, and C4ISR, VITA 67.2 solutions enable efficient system integration while optimizing size, weight, and power (SWaP).
