Features & Benefits

  • Signal and HE 807 cavities for power and coaxial contacts
  • Housing with ruggedized metal shell
  • High density: up to 400 signal contacts
  • Space grade/ESA/ESCC qualified available
  • Featuring Hypertac Hyperboloid contact technology

Overview

The MHD Series has been designed to resist the high levels of shock and vibrations in the harshest environments of the Commercial Aerospace and Space applications. The MHD connector is equipped with signal and HE 807 cavities for power and coaxial contacts. With a 0.5mm contact diameter, the series is available from 52 to 400 signal contacts with straight, surface mount tail and 90° termination styles and can support up to 32 power or coaxial contacts (2.00 contact diameter). The metal shell improves system reliability by ensuring high levels of shock and vibration and by eliminating contact fretting, hence reducing wear rates, and avoiding system failure and down-times.

    Optical Interconnect Design Challenges in Space

    Aeronautical applications face many design challenges that are unique to their intended environment. The best practices for optical interconnect design for space applications include the use of radiation-resistant technology to defend against space radiation, the use of components and devices that are designed to operate in harsh environments, and meeting size, weight, and power (SWaP) and long-term reliability requirements. Finally, it is recommended to follow open standards like VPX and to look for solutions that comply with MIL and quality standards.
