High speed design: superior signal integrity beyond 6 Gbps
Utilizes field proven Hypertac contact technology
Meets mechanical footprint of standard COTS SATA device connectors
Optional quarter-turn locking feature available
Straddle, vertical PCB and right angle PCB production products currently available
All materials pass NASA outgassing requirements

The Nebula connector employs the renowned Hypertac hyperboloid contacts as the bedrock of its high reliability providing immunity to shock and vibration fretting and over 100,000 mating cycles. These features combine with current carrying capacity up to 1.5 Amps per contact and low insertion / extraction forces to provide significantly enhanced quality and reliability performance compared with other more commodity connector solutions.

Available for direct mounting to PCB, the Nebula Series supports independent function for all its 22 contacts. It also offers optional quarter-turn locking hardware for faster connector securing and to prevent unintentional separation.

How connectivity can play a key role in rail braking systems

Train deceleration is a key function that implies passengers’ safety, environment and property protection and nothing can be left to chance or neglected when it is the moment to select the right parts that have to compose the brake system. With this in mind, the design engineers have to pay attention to reduce the overall maintenance costs as well to provide a dependable and market aligned solution.
