Amphenol’s Fiber Optic Te rmini Product Of fering

• MIL-PRF-29504 - Pin and socket termini that feature

high precision, pre-radiused ceramic ferrules to help

improve insertion loss performance and reduce pol-

ishing time. Products are available in both single

mode and multi-mode versions.The socket has a

plastic protective shroud over the ceramic alignment

sleeve that incorporates a built-in anti-rotation fea-

ture.

• HD20 ter m ini - Pin and socket termini that have the

same benefits of the MIL-PRF-29504 termini, but in a

smaller, size 20 contact that allows for increased

density in D38999 connector shells.

• 90° term ini - Pin and socket 90° multi-mode termini

in size 16 are available. Consult Amphenol Aero-

space for availability of 90° size 20 term ini.

• ARINC 801 termini - G enderless fiber optic termini

that use a precision 1.25 mm ceramic ferrule. Preci-

sion inserts with guide pins and keyed termini maxi-

mize multi-mode and single mode performance.

ARINC 801 term ini facilitate an angled polish which

is advantageous for lower r eturn loss.

• MT ferrules - Industry-standard, very high density

plastic ferrules available in either 12-fiber or 24-fiber

versions, in multi-mode PC, single mode PC, and

single mode APC configurations.

* MIL-PRF-29504 supersedes MIL-T-29504. (MIL-T-29504 is still

avai l able ; c onsult Amphenol A e rosp ace for more i nfor m ation.)

Ampheno l int roduced the MIL -C-38999 Series III connector in the mid-1970’s.

Amphe nol has continued since the 70’s to im prove performance and reliability that makes this design of the 38999

Series III the con nector of choice by system designers worldwide.

During t he m id-1980’s t he 38999 Series III connector was selected as th e platform to use for the ne w M IL-T-29504

size 16 fiber optic termini.

Design improvement for fib er optics to metal clip retention syste m.

The introduction of M IL-T-29504 termini into a connector not desi gned for spring-loaded termini yielded the first

improvement of the basic 38999 for use with fi ber optics. In 1987, Amphenol introduced the CF-52 seri es connec-

tor with a beryllium-copper retent ion clip for improved t ermini stability inside the connector insert.

MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, Tight Tolerance styles

Design i mprovem ents for fiber optics to tighter tol er-

ances and integrated wa ve w ashers.

Through the 1990’s Amphenol has continued to modify

the design of the 38999 to improve the performance of

the connector when using fiber opt ic termini. The CF-50

series connec tor emplo ys a mo dified master key and pre-

cisi on tooling to precisely align the insert cavities duri ng

connector mating. The CF-50 also integrates a wave

w asher in the cou pli ng m echanism to reduce the possibil-

ity of connectors de-mati ng duri ng peri ods of high vibra-

tion.

The illustration shows the key features of the MI L-

DTL-38999 CF-50 - The highest opt ical performance

connector.

1. Beryll ium-copper retenti on clip for improved

2. Precision-ali gned inserts

3. Modified master ke y

4. Integrated wave washer for impr oved

Amphenol® Tri -Start, Series III - the Highest Perf orm ance MIL-DTL-38999 Connector

The Ideal Choi ce for Fiber Optic Technology

• Meets or exceeds MIL-DTL-38999 Series III requirements

• EMI Shi elding - sol id metal to metal coupling, grounding fingers, electrol ess nic kel plati ng, and thicker wall

sections provide superior EMI shielding capabil it y of 65dB min. at 10 GHz

• Termini Prot ection - recessed pins in this 100% scoop-proof connector minimize potential termini dam age

• Corro sion Resistance - shells of stainless steel or cadmium over nickel pl ating withstand 500 hr. sa lt spray

exposure

• Vibration/Sh ock - operates under severe high t em perature vibration, through 200°C

• Thread ed coupling quickly and completely mates in one 360° turn of the coupling nut

Amphenol® B3 Brush Contacts

B3 stands for Bris tle Brush Bunch

contact - multipl e strands of high ten-

sil e wir e that intermesh t o create an

elec trical c onnec tion. The Bri stl e Brush

con t act h a s b een pr oven in milita r y avi -

onics packages and meets the requirements of MIL- DTL-55302. It provides

high density in tighter spacing which is a main concern f or integ rated electr on-

ics in aircraft systems Advantages of the brush cont act include:

• Redundant current paths: 14-70 gas tight points of contact per mated bunch

• Very smooth low fricti on interface

• Low mating forces: 1.5 oz. typical per contact, 70-90% lower than conven-

tional contacts

• Long cont act life: 100,000 cycles of mating and unmati ng without perf or-

mance degradation

• Documented intermittency free performance: No 10 nano-se cond disconti-

nuities during 50, 000,000 cycl es of 0. 010” displacem ent

• Impervious to fretting

Modified MIL-PRF-29504/4, /5, size 16, straight ter-

mini (shown in drawings below) or 90° styles can be

configured into LRM interconnects. Termini for rect-

angular LRM connectors are determined by insert and

shell style of the connector. For ordering information

for LRM connectors consult Amphenol Aerospace.

Amphenol® LRM Connector Series

LRM connectors are high performance, high density interconnects, spe-

cifically designed to connect printed circ uit boards. The Amphenol Brush

contact technology is the foundation of the LRM connector series.

Features, benefits and options of LRM connectors include:

• GEN-X cont act pattern - has .075 inch spacing along the row with .060

inch between rows, of fset .0375 inc h between rows on the mating f ace.

• Stagge red grid contact pattern - has .100 inch spacing along the row

with .050 inch betw een rows, off set .050 inch between rows on the mat-

ing face

• Stagger ed gr id Airflow-thru contact patter n - for wider or oversized board

packages between 0.235 and 0.425 inches. Wider spacing in center also

provides for more airfl ow cooli ng of the con nector inserts.

• Backplane design versatility:

• Ava il able with thr ough-hole solder posts or with compliant pins for

solderl ess applications

• Compl iant/solderless backplane con tacts are fr ont replaceable

• ESD Protecti on - Stag gered grid and G EN-X LRM connect ors ar e typic ally

provided with ESD (Electrostati c Discharge) prot ection. They utili ze the

Faraday Cage principal to shunt electrostatic dischar ge events to the con-

ductive enclosure on which the connector is mounted, thus never al lowing

the high voltage, high curr ent dis charge event to resi de on any contacts.

• Wide ra nge of PCB/ heat sin k accom m odations with standard surface

moun t tails or optional flex-circui t termi nati on

• Polarizat ion key s - up to 4096 possi ble ke ying positions

• Vibration: Superior intermittency-free per formance under vibr ation

• Dielectric wit hstanding voltage: Stagger ed grid and GEN-X styles:

100 volts at sea level (due to the incorporat ion of ESD shield)

• Temperature range:

• Suitable for vapor phase solderin g

• Normal operating temperature is –65°C to +125°C

• Curre nt r ating: 3.0A der ated to 1.5A typi cal (dependa nt on l oading)
