Extreme Engineering Solutions Introduces Amphenol VIPER Based VITA 46 Products
Extreme Engineering Solutions (X-ES) claims to be the first single-board computer company to incorporate Amphenol’s next generation VIPER technology into its VPX (VITA 46) product line. VIPER technology provides a fully shielded connector solution that meets 2 Level maintenance requirements, while maintaining footprint compatibility with the VITA 46 standard.
The “All our existing Freescale and Intel-based VPX SBCs and systems support Amphenol’s VIPER product. This will allow customers to select the best connector/backplane for their current and future application requirements,” states Ben Klam, Vice President of Engineering.
The VIPER connector platform delivers the demanding performance required by X-ES's rugged extreme environment solutions designed explicitly to operate in harsh environments. The versatile and custom-configurable VIPER uniquely complements X-ES's cutting-edge applications from conduction-cooled processor boards to fully integrated systems, says Colleen Murphy, VIPER Product Marketing Manager at Amphenol-ABS.
