PicoTCA systems: compact, complete and cost-effective

The compact Cube system is suited for the high-speed industrial processors. Rittal, Herborn, Germany
Rittal is setting new standards for the future of electronic packaging with its enclosure solutions. The extremely compact version of the PicoTCA rack-mounted system provides customers with the highest level of packaging density, opening new areas of application for high-speed industrial processing based upon the MicroTCA(TM) specification.
The Rittal PicoTCA system offers multiple benefits for both telecommunication and industrial applications. The PicoTCA system meets the key requirements of the PICMG MicroTCA.0 R1.0 specification while eliminating the typical disadvantages of more conventional solutions in terms of handling, assembly and space requirements.
With the new HARTING „con:card+“ backplane connector, the contact reliability within the system has been improved substantially. One of the key elements of the new „con:card+“ connector is the integrated GuideSpring, which is able to compensate for tolerance deviations within the AdvancedMC(TM) printed circuit boards. The extremely smooth contact surface offers protection against wear and increases the overall reliability substantially.
