Now at Mouser: TE Connectivity’s Fortis Zd LRM Connectors Combine Performance and Rugged Modular Design

Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the Fortis Zd LRM connector system from TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity. This innovative modular connector system, designed for next-generation packaging from avionics boxes to military ground vehicles, features a rugged, lightweight multi-bay shell that accepts high-speed digital signal, power, radio-frequency (RF), and optical modules.

The connector system, available from Mouser Electronics, combines TE’s Fortis Zd interconnect technology with popular line-replaceable modules (LRMs) so engineers can quickly replace the modules onsite while minimizing downtime. The modular design, with common bay size, makes the connector system easy to configure for specific application needs and allows designers to position modules where required. The Fortis Zd LRM connector system features four-point M55320 box contacts, provides electrical stability in high-vibration environments, and includes precision guide hardware and shell features that help ensure reliable plug-in and excellent stability under extreme vibration.

The connector system utilizes high-speed Fortis Zd modules that support data rates up to 12 Gbps. High-power modules support 55 amps per contact, and low-power modules support 15 amps per contact. The connectors are durable, withstanding 500 mating cycles and feature an operating temperature range from ‑65 to +125 degrees Celsius. The Fortis Zd LRM connector system is suitable for a variety of military and aerospace applications including avionics, radar interface, vehicle mission computers, and communication hubs.
