1218402-1

ARINC (Aerospace Recommended Aircrew Interface Interchangeability) is an industry standard for backplane connectors use in avionics and flight decks of commercial, military and business aircraft. The ARINC 1218402-1 backplane connector is one of the most widely used ARINC connectors and is designed for harsh environment applications such as aerospace, defense, industrial, railway, marine, and medical equipment. This connector is designed to have superior performance in high electrical stress, vibration, shock, corrosive environment, and temperature extremes.

ARINC 1218402-1 backplane connectors are designed to meet the needs of transmitting large amounts of data with a reliable connection. The connectors are rated for 3.36 amperes of current and have 7 to 254 positions pins with 0.050″ pitch. Other features of the connector include high contact density, polarizing, and housings available with gold or silver contacts. In addition to high performance, these connectors are designed to minimize interference and offer low insertion and extraction forces for easier mating.

The typical application fields of ARINC 1218402-1 backplane connectors include aerospace, ground support equipment, aircraft fuselages, radomes, defense and industrial equipment. These connectors are often used for delivering electrical or signal current. Some of the primary functions of these connectors is for motors, power conversion, electronic circuits, and communication equipment.

The working principle of ARINC 1218402-1 backplane connectors involves two main parts: the receptacle and plug. The receptacle is a housing containing a set of spring loaded contacts which are configured to mate with the plug. The contacts are designed to carry electrical power or signal current, depending on the application. The plug is inserted into the receptacle so that the spring loaded contacts align with the contacts on the plug. As the plug is inserted, the contacts engage and allow electrical current to flow.

The ARINC 1218402 connector has several advantages, such as reliable performance in harsh environments, high current carrying capability, contact density, correct polarisation and low insertion and extraction forces. Another advantage is that the connector is capable of carrying both power and signal current at the same time, making it a perfect solution for applications that require both power and signal connections.

The ARINC 1218402-1 backplane connector is a high-performance, reliable, and robust connector that is perfect for avionics and harsh environment applications. This connector is highly durable and can withstand vibration, shock, corrosion and temperature extremes. It is designed to enable reliable data transmission, with high contact density and low insertion and extraction forces. The connector is also capable of carrying both power and signal current at the same time, making it a great choice for applications requiring both power and signal connection.
