FORTIS ZD high-speed backplane connector, designed for military and commercial  aerospace applications.
 
As demands on systems for real-time intelligence  intensifies, the importance of high performance interconnection becomes  critical. TE Connectivity set out to design a new connector system that  supports increasing bandwidth requirements in a ruggedized format to withstand  the increased shock and vibration requirements of emerging military  applications.
   
"The goal was to achieve a system that combined the seemingly contradictory  features of multi-gigabit speeds and extreme ruggedness," said Kevin Rock,  president, Aerospace, Defense & Marine, TE Connectivity. "Our development  engineering team has produced an outstanding product that more than met the  challenges set to them - providing a strong path for the next generation of  electronic systems in harsh environments."
 
TE Connectivity engineers provided ruggedization improvements in the  high-speed backplane connector designs by marrying an electrically  sophisticated, high-speed contact leadframe with a robust, industry-proven  separable contact interface. A metal shell offers an even higher degree of  robustness, both in the mating interface and the outer shell of the connector.
   
By combining the best features of commercial high-speed backplane connectors  with proven MIL-SPEC contacts, the new high performance FORTIS ZD connector  allows data rates of 10 Gbs+ and is designed to enable improved communications,  unmatched situational awareness, and technologically superior command/control  and training.
