Radiall Introduces New Insert & Contact Layouts for ARINC 600 Connectors

Feb 9, 2010

New layouts offer greater integration flexibility

Radiall introduces its new size 10 concentric twinax contact with three new insert configurations for the NSX series (ARINC 600 standard). The NSX series (ARINC 600 standard) are multipin rack and panel connectors used to connect high performance avionic equipment. The size 10 contact complements the legacy size 8 and size 5 range and offers greater density while providing outstanding electrical performance. These new contacts are available in both standard crimp termination and solder tails for printed circuit board applications.

The new layout possibilities are coded as “13T13” with 13 contacts size 10, “18T18” with 18 contacts size 10 and “15T6Q2” with 2 contacts size 8, 7 contacts size 16 and 6 contacts size 10. Size 10 contacts can be either concentric twinax or triax type, size 8 can be either coax, concentric twinax, triax or quadrax, and size 16 contact is power.

These new inserts and contacts bring greater integration flexibility to designers while maintaining the form factor of the existing ARINC 600 connector series.

With this extension you have the following possibilities for the contacts:
• Size 10 concentric twinax contacts offer higher density than size 8 contacts
• Size 10 pin and socket concentric twinax contacts available for EN3375-006D twinax cable (78ohm)
• PC tail pin contacts available in four ARINC 600 standard PC tail lengths
• Lead free versions can be ordered
• Also available are size 10 plug cavity reducers

For the inserts:
• Non environmental inserts are now available and qualified for FR/FR PC tail contacts for PCB application and RR/RR contacts for crimp terminations (*)
• Aluminum inserts ensure the #8 and #10 ground to the shell with a maximum resistance of 10 milliohms
• 3 Arrangement possibilities: 15T6Q2, 13T13, 18T18
