Backplane Connectors - ARINC

Backplane connectors are important components found on printed circuit boards and backplanes that are used to connect electronic components together. In critical applications, backplane connectors can also provide connectivity between multiple pieces of equipment. ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Incorporated) connectors are commonly used in the aviation industry and in other specialized electronics. One popular backplane connector from this family is the 1996502-1.

Application Field

ARINC connectors are universally used in commercial airplanes, mostly for connecting various cabin systems, such as wiring harness, oxygen and flight deck systems. ARINC connectors are specially designed for robustness and durability as these connectors have to withstand extreme temperatures, pressure variations, and high levels of vibration. ARINC connectors come in 10, 14, 16, 24 and 44 contact configurations. The 1996502-1 is a type of ARINC connector that has a 10-pin configuration.

The 1996502-1 has a wide range of applications in the aviation industry. It is commonly used in engine monitoring and control systems, as well as for navigation and communication systems. The connector is also used in various levels of avionics, including cockpit displays, entertainment systems and communication systems. In addition to these applications, the 1996502-1 is also used in aircraft fuel systems, environmental control systems, flight controls, and air traffic control.

Working Principle

The 1996502-1 ARINC connector is composed of two parts: the shell and the connector plug. The connector plug has 10 pins, and each pin has an external thread that connects to the contact. The contact then connects to the mating pin on the other side of the connector. The pins are held in place with a spring that provides a secure connection.

When assembling the connector, the connector plug is inserted into a mounting panel with a recess into which the plug fits. The recess also serves to secure the connector from accidental removal. An integral nut is installed into the mounting panel, and the shell is then placed over it and screwed into place. As the shell is tightened, the contact and pin become engaged with each other, forming a highly secure connection.

ARINC connectors are specially designed for robustness, ensuring secure connections between multiple pieces of equipment even in extremely harsh conditions. This makes them the perfect choice for use in the aviation industry, where failure is not an option.

The 1996502-1 is a versatile and reliable ARINC connector, often used in the aviation industry. Its 10-pin configuration is perfect for connecting avionics and other systems in airplanes. The connector is built to be highly durable, making it capable of withstanding temperatures, pressure variations, and high vibration levels.
