BKAD1-125-30020

ARINC, or Avionics Interface Route Initiative Connectors, are backplane connectors that are used in many aviation and defence systems. The BKAD1-125-30020 is an ARINC connector typically used in space and military applications where higher shock and vibration endurance is required. This connector has a large number of pins that are organized into two areas, allowing for increased flexibility and commonality within the platform.

The ARINC connector is made of a non-magnetic material such as alloy-steel, stainless steel, or titanium. With its high shock and vibration performance, the BKAD1-125-30020 is also resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and harsh environments. The connector’s contacts are typically gold plated to ensure low electrical resistance. Additionally, the high vibration resistance of the connector ensures that signal transmission remains consistent over its not-suspended lifetime of more than 10 million plug cycles.

The most common applications of the BKAD1-125-30020 ARINC connector are in aerospace, military, and high-performance space systems. In the aerospace industry, the connector is used in various critical systems ranging from mission-critical defense systems to control signal systems. Some of the most common applications include communication and navigation systems, EDGE systems, STANAG-4556 systems, aircraft control systems, and BLOS (Beyond Line Of Sight) systems.

In the military arena, the BKAD1-125-30020 is used mainly in C2ISR (command, control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) systems, tactical systems, and communication systems. These systems typically require the use of communication systems that feature integrated power and signaling capabilities. The ARINC connector is also essential in meeting the signal immunity requirements of high-performance C2ISR systems, such as MULTIBEAM (Multiband Small Tactical Terminal) and RAAMP (Rapid Adaptive Mobile Power System).

The working principle behind the BKAD1-125-30020 ARINC connectors is simple. The connectors consist of a plug and receptacle with a series of contacts. When plugged together, the contacts make an electrical connection, allowing for two-way electrical signal transmission. Typically, the contacts are arranged in a combination of areas that allow for increased flexibility and commonality across various platforms.

The versatility of the BKAD1-125-30020 makes it an ideal choice for many applications that require shock and vibration resistance, such as defense or aerospace. Furthermore, its robust construction makes it well suited for harsh environments and extreme temperatures. In addition, its gold plated contacts ensure low electrical resistance, allowing for reliable and consistent signal transmission.
