Our OpenCOTS Variable Force Injector-Ejector employs a double-pivot, force-multiplying design. This method utilizes a mechanical advantage that is created by a longer spring which is less prone to setting and is capable of generating a higher injection force than previous designs. This design is a mechanical breakthrough for next generation VPX cards. It is compliant with VITA 78.0 and compatible with VITA 48.0, 48.2, and 48.4 designs.

The tolerance-compensating Variable Force Injector/Ejector provides evenly distributed injection/ejection forces in order to ensure uniform mating of a module’s critical connection points to its backplane, while simultaneously protecting connector pins and backplane receptacles from over-insertion.
