board connector: A technical guide
4 Criteria to choose your board connector
Vibration and Shock Resistance
Ensuring contact integrity during high-G takeoff and turbulence is essential for safety-critical avionics and mission-critical flight systems.
High Temperature Insulation
Materials must withstand continuous operating temperatures above one hundred twenty-five degrees Celsius without degradation to ensure long-term reliability.
EMI RFI Shielding Effectiveness
Integrated shielding prevents electromagnetic interference from disrupting sensitive flight control signals and maintaining signal integrity in dense avionic bays.
Space Grade Outgassing Compliance
Connectors must meet low outgassing standards to prevent volatile condensable materials from contaminating sensitive optical sensors in orbital environments.
Available technologies and advantages
Micro-D Connectors
These ruggedized rectangular connectors provide high-density signal paths in compact footprints for UAV flight controllers and weight-sensitive avionics. Metal shells offer excellent shielding.
Mezzanine Connectors
High-speed board-to-board solutions designed for modular avionics allow stackable architectures with data rates exceeding ten gigabits per second. They enable rapid system upgrades.
Backplane Systems
Large scale interconnects used in VPX architectures provide the high-bandwidth backbone for flight processing units. Robust mechanical locking ensures secure mating under intense vibrations.
