ARINC 600 - Next Generation Receptacle Connector
TE's ARINC 600 receptacle features a stamped and formed contact system versus the traditional, screw machined contact system. The result is a lighter design for considerable cost savings. The stamped system allows for selective gold plating to only critical socket contact tines instead of the whole contact, decreasing gold plating costs. By changing to hollow contacts instead of the solid contacts in the legacy design, this product design reduces weight by up to 10% and includes backward compatibility.
Next Generation PCB Rack and Panel Connector
TE's ARINC 600 connectors meet demanding power, signal, and high-speed data requirements in critical aerospace and defense applications. From in-flight entertainment and communications to flight controls and military systems, ARINC 600 offers press-fit rack and panel PCB connectors with size 22 through size 12 power contacts and Quadrax options. Eliminate soldering, accelerate assembly, and reduce manufacturing costs, all while maintaining full backward computability.
TE's ARINC 600 receptacle features a stamped and formed contact system in place of the traditional, screw-machined contact system. This innovation introduces a lighter design, bringing considerable cost savings. Additionally, the stamped system allows for selective gold plating to only critical socket contact tines, rather than the whole contact, decreasing gold plating costs and reducing weight by up to 10 percent.
Whether it is collision avoidance, in-flight entertainment, or air-to-ground communications, today’s Avionics manufacturers face a challenging economic environment and an ever-increasing demand for weight reduction. In response to these market demands, TE has developed a next-generation ARINC 600 receptacle connector for Avionics manufacturers seeking reduced cost and weight.
