Features and Benefits
Meeting the ultra-high-speed data transmission requirements of advanced aerospace and defense systems requires exceptional signal integrity (SI) and bandwidth capacity. Connectors must provide electromagnetic interference/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding and rugged performance that maintains stable connections amid shocks, vibrations and extreme temperatures. Supporting complex systems also requires versatile connectors that provide varied connectivity solutions in a compact package.
Using modular, hybrid connectors with configurable modules and versatile mounting options allows designers to meet multiple demands of high-performance systems and constrained geometries with a single consolidated connectivity solution. Rugged construction that meets stringent aerospace and defense industry standards helps ensure reliable operation and streamlined validation processes.
AirBorn SInergy Modular High-Speed Hybrid Connectors are compact, high-performance connectors that use a modular design with one to five bays. The AirBorn SInergy design enables custom combinations of high-density signal, 25.0A power and SMPM (subminiature push-on micro) RF connections. Tested to MIL-DTL-83513 specifications, AirBorn Sinergy connectors meet stringent military and aerospace requirements for durability and signal strength in applications subject to shock forces, vibration, moisture and extreme temperatures. Signal connectors use four points of contact per pin, with 50 microinches of gold plating to ensure consistent connectivity at data rates up to 25Gbps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are AirBorn SInergy Modular High-Speed Hybrid Connectors?
AirBorn SInergy Modular High-Speed Hybrid Connectors are modular connectors that use one-to-five bays to support signal and SMPM RF modules, providing high-speed data transmission in a rugged, military-grade form factor.
What data speeds can AirBorn SInergy connectors support?
These connectors deliver up to 25Gbps per lane, with an aggregate bandwidth up to 75Gbps, making them suitable for high-speed protocols such as PCIe 3.0/4.0, USB 3.0, SAS-3/4, XAUI and Ethernet.
How does the modular design benefit system integration?
The design provides flexible configuration options, enabling designers to mix and match signal and RF modules within one connector interface and reducing the number of separate connectors required for complex aerospace and defense systems.
What qualification standards does the AirBorn SInergy system meet?
AirBorn SInergy connectors are tested to MIL-DTL-83513 specifications for resistance to extreme shock, vibration, extreme temperatures and moisture.
What mounting and termination options are available?
AirBorn SInergy connectors are available with vertical and right-angle board-mount receptacles and plugs, panel-mount receptacles and plugs, and robust IPC-A-610 Class 3 surface-mount technology (SMT) solder termination. Cable assemblies are available with discrete wire, SMPM RF and twinax cable options.
What kind of contact system does the AirBorn SInergy connector use?
The AirBorn SInergy system uses four points of contact with 50 microinches of gold plating for enhanced reliability and vibration resistance.
How does the AirBorn SInergy system address size and weight constraints?
AirBorn SInergy connectors use a compact, modular design that optimizes the footprint and reduces system weight. One- and two-bay versions are about the size of a US quarter.
Can AirBorn SInergy connectors be customized?
Yes, AirBorn SInergy connectors can be customized with interchangeable locking, jacking and guide hardware, and with configurable bays for mixed signal/RF requirements.
Is the amperage rating based on a specific temperature rise, and is derating information available for other applications?
Yes, the rating is based on a 30°C temperature rise. Additional derating curves and supporting reports are available for specific application requirements.
What is the maximum wire gauge supported by the power contact, and is it based on a specific industry standard?
The power contact supports a maximum wire size of 12 AWG, based on the MIL-DTL-39029 #12 crimp contact design.
Is the power contact module available across all application configurations, such as board-to-board, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire?
Yes, the power contact module is available across all AirBorn SInergy application types, including board-to-board, wire-to-board and wire-to-wire, as well as motherboard and daughtercard configurations.
Are the power and signal contact modules available with different types of signal connection such as RF, twinax and discrete-wire connectivity?
Yes, the AirBorn SInergy system is designed to incorporate combinations of power, RF (SMPM) and multiple signal interface or cable types into a single, all-in-one connector housing. AirBorn SInergy connectors can include RF and 25.0A high-power connector bays alongside bays with different types or quantities of signal connections. All signal types, including RF, discrete-wire, twinax and power cables, are offered in various configurations.
