CONNECTORS
The ACPS3310 carrier uses two AcroPack module field I/O connectors, two
mini-PCIe connectors, two field I/O Champ connectors and one CompactPCI-
Serial backplane connector. These are discussed in the following sections.
Front Panel Field I/O Connectors
Field I/O connections are made via one 68 pin, stacked, 0.8 mm Champ cable
connector mounted on the front panel. The AcroPack module identifier (A
and B) is marked on the front panel for easy identification. Cables and
termination panels (or user defined terminations) can be quickly mated to the
field I/O connectors. Pin assignments are defined by the installed AcroPack
module.
AcroPack Field I/O Connectors
The field side connector of AcroPack modules mate to Samtec
SS5-50-3.00-L-D-K-TR socket connectors on the carrier board.
This provides excellent connection integrity due to the gold plating in the
mating area. M2.5 screws and spacers provide additional stability for harsh
environments.
The functions of each of the Field I/O signals are defined by the installed
AcroPack model.
