KVPX is an embedded, shielded, and modular connector that delivers high performance while adapting to the VITA standard requirements. The proven Hypertac® hyperboloid contact provides immunity to shock and vibration fretting and a self-cleaning wipe action that results in better signal integrity for high reliability applications.

The KVPX connector platform offers the ability to scale from 80 Mbps to over 10 Gbps while retaining the same Vita 46 backplane slot pitch at 20.3mm to 25.4mm. KVPX backplane connectors utilize 0.4mm Hypertac hyperboloid space qualified sockets, known to provide immunity to shock and vibration fretting, numerous linear paths of contact, low-forces, high mating cycles, and a self-wiping cleaning action that results in consistently better integrity in extreme environments.The KVPX daughtercard connectors incorporate a front face plate which prevents damage to the male contacts in an unmated condition.

KVPX is best suited and positioned for data intensive applications where high throughput and high computes are the critical factors. Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), radar applications and Electronic Counter Measures (ECM).
