BKAD2-A137-32201 Connectors, Interconnects

ARINC connectors are used in a variety of applications and provide a secure connection for data and power distribution in the backplane. The BKAD2-A137-32201 is a popular and versatile ARINC connector designed for military applications, and is capable of handling high data rates, up to 4.7Gb/s. This connector is commonly used in computer and avionics products that require high reliability and high speed data transfer.

The BKAD2-A137-32201 is a mid-sized connector that features a backplane design, meaning it retains its position on the plane containing the contact surfaces. This backplane design allows the connector to provide a much more secure and reliable connection as compared to board mounted connectors. It also helps keep the connector in place during system integration and installation.

The BKAD2-A137-32201 consists of a range of different components including contact springs, body, gasket, mounting hardware, and keying shells. These components combine to form an effective connection for transmitting power and data. The contact springs are gold-plated for superior electrical contact and reduced contact resistance, and are also designed to provide reliable and consistent electrical performance. The body is molded from durable polycarbonate, and helps to provide protection for the connector from environmental contaminants.

The gasket helps to protect the contact surfaces of the connector from dust, dirt, and other contaminants. Additionally, it helps to ensure a secure fit between the contacts and the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware is made of aluminum and is designed for easy and secure installation. The keying shells are also designed to ensure the correct alignment of the connector within the system.

The basic working principle of the BKAD2-A137-32201 is to make electrical contact between the connector pins and the mating system. The contact springs provide the contact between the connector and the mating system, and when a voltage is applied to the contact pins, the current flows through the contact springs and into the mating system. The gasket helps to ensure a secure connection between the contact springs and the mating system. Finally, the mounting hardware helps to secure the connector in place and prevents it from loosening up.

Overall, the BKAD2-A137-32201 is an excellent connector for high reliability and high speed data transfer applications. It provides a secure and reliable connection and is designed to handle high data rates up to 4.7Gb/s. This connector is widely used in the military and aerospace, avionics, computer, navigation, and communication industries.
