Twinax connectors meet MIL-DTL-38999
Sabritec has a new range of MIL-DTL-38999 twinax connectors.
Return loss measurements exceeded the 20dB requirement, averaging 37dB, as tested under TIA/EIA-455-107.
The ARINC 801 terminus also passed qualification for temperature cycling, humidity, random vibration, mechanical shock, connector coupling durability, temperature life, salt spray and altitude immersion.
The ARINC 801 terminus is designed for use in both multimode and single-mode applications, with a 1.25mm ferrule and sleeve using standard LC termination processes and tooling.
Insertion/removal tools are standard size 16 for D38999 and ARINC 600 connectors.
The terminus is available both as a pull-proof design and a general use design for tight jacketed cable.
For the pull-proof design, the cable jacket is crimped to the external body and an internal spring allows the ferrule to remain in the forward position while the cable is pulled, avoiding any loss of signal.
This feature allows for the use of the connector without a backshell.
Standard connector formats include MIL-DTL-38999 type, MIL-DTL-83527 type, ARINC 600 and ARINC 781.
