Backplane Connectors - ARINC

ARINC backplane connectors are commonly used in the aeronautical industry, though they have applications in many other types of industries. The ARINC series, or Avionics Routine Intelligent Commercial Connectors, is a family of high-density, high-speed, high-performance connectors created by the ARINC company. The series includes BKAD2-400-30102 - a robust 40-terminal backplane connector.

BKAD2-400-30102 Application Field

BKAD2-400-30102 is designed mainly for use in harsh environments, such as those found in aeronautical applications. These connectors can withstand extreme shock and vibration, and the full metal housing and gold-plated contacts provide excellent levels of electrical shielding and EMI protection. The connector interfaces are designed for high-speed data applications such as ARINC 429 (digital data transfer) and ARINC 664 (analog data transfer).

The BKAD2-400-30102 connector has also been used in other industries, such as transportation, medical, and consumer electronics, due to its versatility and performance. Its advantages include: low power loss; high-speed performance; high signal integrity; and easy maintenance.

BKAD2-400-30102 Working Principle

The BKAD2-400-30102 connector consists of two parts: the plug and the socket. The plug interface contains 40 gold-plated contacts, while the socket contains 40 spring-loaded receptacles. The two parts are connected via a floating frame that abuts both parts and latches when they are brought into proximity. The frame has an adjustable, tensioned latch that ensures a secure connection.

The two parts of the connector are connected using a floating pin-and-socket arrangement. The pin contacts mate with the recesses on the female socket contacts, which ensure electrical and mechanical connection. The contacts are wire-wrap/threaded type, which ensures reliable connection between the connector and wire. The plug interface is keyed, so it is impossible to insert the wrong type of plug.

The BKAD2-400-30102 connector is designed to provide high-speed digital signal and analog data transfer. The connector is well suited for applications requiring high-speed data transfer, such as ARINC 429 and ARINC 664. Furthermore, the connector is designed for improved vibration and shock resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.

Conclusion

The BKAD2-400-30102 connector is a high-performance, high-density, and high-speed connector that is suitable for use in a wide variety of industries. The connector is designed for ARINC 429 and ARINC 664 applications, and its rugged design makes it suitable for use in harsh environments. The connector is also easy to maintain and offers excellent electrical shielding and EMI protection. With its high performance and versatile applications, the BKAD2-400-30102 connector is a great choice for customers looking for reliable and robust connectivity.
