It is often found in aircraft avionics, military electronics, and telecom systems. Its impressive temperature operating range makes it an ideal solution for any application that requires a backplane connector in extreme temperatures.

Features

The ARINC BKAD3-668-30001 is a miniature, lightweight backplane connector, featuring a triple-layer construction for superior durability. It has a contact layout of 120 positions, up to 6 amps per contact and a voltage rating of 400V AC/DC. Its 3 conductor materials provide excellent electrical performance.The connector features a keying system that ensures correct mating. It is equipped with a lanyard locking system that prevents connector sockets from disengaging unintentionally and offers additional safety. The connector is also resistant to low pressure jet wash and dust. It is available in several color options.

Working Principle

The ARINC BKAD3-668-30001 operates on a Triple-Layer Contacts (TLC) principle. It features three contact layers, which are a ground layer, an inner-pole layer, and an outer-pole layer. The outer-pole layer provides total contact and the ground layer provides partial contact. This three-layer contact system ensures superior electrical performance and reduces the amount of force necessary for mating. Furthermore, the ARINC BKAD3-668-30001 is equipped with a robust keying system that prevents the wrong connectors from being mated together. The lanyard locking system also provides additional safety and protection against unintentional detachment.

Conclusion

The ARINC BKAD3-668-30001 is a reliable and robust backplane connector that is suitable for use in extreme temperatures. It features a triple-layer contact system for superior electrical performance and a keying system that ensures correct mating. Furthermore, the lanyard locking system increases safety and prevents connectors from disengaging unintentionally.
