Twinax Shielded Contacts

Description

Concentric Twinax contacts for use in MIL-STD-1553B airborne multiplex data bus applications that require high performance interconnect characteristics in mult-pin connectors. Concentric twinax contacts are fully scoop-proof in MIL-DTL-38999 connectors and do not require polarization.

These contact design offers high performance shielding capabilities for protection from magnetic and electrostatic interference including nuclear electromagnetic pulse. The contact is crimp terminable to twisted shielded cable and is fully scoop-proof (recessed pins) in MIL-DTL-38999 connectors. The concentric twinax contact is engineered to maintain shield integrity through a multi-pin cylindrical connector and does not require contact polarization within the insert. Size 8 concentric twinax contacts were developed for use in MIL-STD-1553B Airborne multiplex data bus applications. Ideal for this application need is the high performance MIL-DTL-38999 series connector with its fully scoop-proof feature of recessed pins. The concentric twinax contact is crimp terminable to twistedshielded cable.

Size 12 concentric twinax contacts were developed for SAAB. They can be used in any size 12 cavity of D38999 I, II or III or SJT connector. Amphenol RCT (Reduced Component Twinax) contacts are another contact termination solution for MIL-STD-1760 and MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus requirements. It features 3 user-assembled components and is available in size 8 and size 10 contact sizes. Termination is completed in only two crimping operations.

Twinax Contacts For Printed Circuit Board Applications

Printed circuit tail twinax contacts provide a cost effective packaging solution for limited space applications where connectors are attached to printed circuit boards. They are available for MILDTL- 38999 Series I and III cylindrical connectors and also for ARINC 404 and ARINC 600 rectangular connectors. High reliability is assured with factory pre-assembled contacts and standardized termination to the board.

Reduced Component Twinax (RCT) Contacts

Reduced Component Twinax (RCT) contacts for use in MIL-STD-1760 and MIL-STD-1553 applications. The RCT features 3 userassembled components in contact sizes 8 and 10. With this design, the number of crimping operations is reduced to two. 90 Degree and Short Profile Twinax contacts are available when termination space is at a premium. The reduced profile designs offer increased packaging efficiency.
