General Info

High Speed Quadrax and Twinax Connectors:
Bandwidth: Up to 10 GHz, Data Rates: 100 Mbps – 4.0 Gbits/sec.and beyond, MIL-DTL-38999, ARINC 600, ARINC 404, MIL-DTL-83527, D-Sub – High Density, Combo-D, Micro-D, Backplane and Panel Mount Connectors, Quadsplitter.

Fiberoptics:
The following fiber optic technologies are capable of supporting wide bandwidth applications. We offer MIL-DTL-38999 to house fiber optic contacts such as size 5 and 12 expanded beam, size 16 butt-joint, DIN style and now ARINC 801. Ruggedized Single Channel (RSC), FC, ST, LC Duplex/Simplex, MTP, MT-RJ, and Ruggedized SC connectors.

Filter Connectors:
Example filter connector applications include cockpit upgrades, EMI filtering on navigation systems, power and control units, and other aircraft avionics systems. We also make filtered adapters that some customers use as a “bolt on” EMI solution that allows them to contain EMI emissions without changing their existing connectors and box layouts. EMI/EMP Filter Connector lines: MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-83723, MIL-C-26482, rack and panel connectors MIL-DTL-83527, ARINC 404, ARINC 600, and d-sub connectors MIL-DTL-24308, MIL-DTL-83513, and Combo D-Sub connectors. ESD protection, Composite Filter Connectors, IP67 Watertight Connectors, Surface Mount TVS Diode Technology (SMT).

RF Coaxial Connectors & Contacts:
The coaxial line is used in several integrated avionic, navigation and communication systems, as well as for satellites for military, commercial, space and telecom applications.  SCX, MDHC, MDCX, SMP, SMPM, grounded circular, Torque isolation connectors. Contacts include:MIL-DTL-38999, ARINC 404, ARINC 600 and new high frequency contacts.

Triax Connectors & Contacts:
The triaxial interconnect products include concentric twinax/triax connectors, contacts, and cable assemblies. The triax connector line also features ultraminiature NDL connector offered in both threaded and quick disconnect versions.  We offer high differential impedance contacts which are designed for ARINC 600 and MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. Rugged D-Sub connectors are designed to ground the outer shield of a triax contact directly to the shell of the connector. Triaxial cables are available in a variety of impedance values. These cables are designed for all types of data-bus and video interconnect systems including MIL-STD-1553B, ARINC 429, 100 Base-T Ethernet, high speed video hot-link and fibre channel data links.

High Power Connectors:
High Power connectors utilize the superior performing Hyperboloid® contact technology, ideal for harsh and demanding environments with low contact resistance. These connectors provide high current ratings with smaller contacts for the same power thus saving overall weight and space.  Low coupling force, Improved low rate of wear and high coupling durability, Shock and vibration resistance, Operate in harsh environments, Increased power handling capability by 25% as compared to standard contacts, Reduced contact resistance, Contact elements can be insulated, to enable multi-pole use (coaxial), Contact mating sequence can be used to gain benefits such as power switching, Mating of shorter contact can energize main power for system or safety requirements.

High Density Miniature Circular Connectors (HDMC):
The performance of a MIL-DTL-38999 connector in a smaller size with significant weight savings. The HMDC is offered with Size 23 crimp removable contacts, Size 12 High Frequency Coax (MDHC) contacts, Size 10 High Speed Twinax and rugged Fiber Optic signaling. MDHC high frequency coaxial contacts have a frequency range up to 40 GHz and offer a low VSWR (1.3:1 typical up to 30 GHz and 1.5:1 typical up to 40 GHz) per mated pair.   Meets or exceeds electrical and environmental performance criteria for MIL-DTL-38999 style connectors. Shell size 7 offers 10 Crimp Removable Size 23 Crimp contacts or 1 Size 12 MDHC high frequency coax contact. Greater than 50% space saving compared to MIL-DTL-38999 Shell Size 9 Increased signal density by 40% compared to MIL-DTL-38999 Shell Size 9 Offers 70% in weight reduction compared to MIL-DTL-38999 Shell Size 9 Compatible with industry standard backshells.
