ARINC Backplane Connectors

The ARINC 208600-2 backplane connector is a high-performance interconnect solution used in military aerospace and commercial avionics applications. With its proven reliability, high shock and vibration resistance, excellent thermal management and band rejection characteristics, and its wide variety of form factors, it is one of the most popular backplane connectors in the industry.

Application Field

ARINC 208600-2 backplane connectors are used in a range of applications in both military and commercial aircraft, including avionics systems, guidance and navigation systems, communications and data processing systems, ground stations, launch vehicles, airborne datalink systems, and many others. These connectors are suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions due to their outstanding shock and vibration resistance.

Working Principle

The ARINC 208600-2 backplane connector is composed of a male plug and a female receptacle. The plug and receptacle feature several pins on the back and on the sides for the power and signal connections. The steel and plastic components of the plug and receptacle guarantee a reliable connection when mated. The metal backplane features several holes on the back, where the pins are inserted. The pins create a non-contact connection between the plug and receptacle, allowing for both electrical and thermal management.

The connection is further secured by the use of a locking latch, which prevents accidental disconnection. The latch is a screw-type design, so it can be used for quick and easy assembly and disassembly, making the connection and disconnection process fast and safe.

Conclusion

The ARINC 208600-2 backplane connector is an ideal choice for aerospace and avionics applications demanding high-performance, reliable and secure connections. The wide range of form factors, excellent Shock and Vibration resistance and its ability to provide both electrical and thermal management make this connector a great choice for a variety of applications.
