Mouser stocks Amphenol FSI’s fibre optic connectors for hi-rel applications
Distributor Mouser Electronics is now shipping fibre optic connectors from Amphenol Fiber Systems International (FSI). Designed for use in harsh environments, the fibre optic connectors can withstand extreme temperatures and are particularly suited for aerospace and military applications. The connectors deliver optical performance in a range of temperature and vibration conditions.
The Amphenol FSI fibre optic connectors are designed to meet the rigorous standards and specifications required for use in military applications. The ARINC 801 cylindrical fibre optic connectors are qualified to the commercial ARINC 801 specification for use in avionics and aircraft networks. The connectors are available in standard D38999 plug and receptacle shells and can withstand vibration levels of up to 300 GRMS. Inserts are available to enable high-density arrangements of up to 32 channels.
Also available, are the Next-Generation Connector (NGCON) series, which offers high density packaging and genderless fibre optic terminals. They are compliant with the MIL-STD-64266 military standard and deliver 500 cycles of multi-mode and single-mode durability. They also feature M28876 coupling threads and D38999 rear accessory threads, as well as a removable alignment sleeve retainer for simplified maintenance.
Mouser also offers the M29504 connectors with an operating temperature range of -65 to +150 degrees C, enabling them to be suitable for use in both naval and aerospace environments. The fibre optic connectors are designed to fit into MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, pin-size 16 connectors, and are manufactured to comply with the MIL-PRF-29504D specification.
Finally, Mouser also ships Amphenol FSI’s LC Field circular connectors. These are shock- and vibration-proof and provide IP68-rated protection against dust and fluids. With no tools required for installation and no cabling operation necessary in the field, the LC Field connectors transform standard LC patch cords into environmental connectors.
The fibre optic connectors from Amphenol FSI and available from Mouser Electronics can be used in a broad range of harsh environment, military, and aerospace applications including railways, military radar, avionics, naval communications, and land tactical communications.
