SANTA ANA, Calif. - September 17, 2008 - ITT Interconnect Solutions, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of connectors, interconnects, and cable assemblies, has developed a custom ARINC 600 connector designed specifically for in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems used in commercial aircraft. The ARINC 600 connector meets stringent technical specifications in a cost-efficient design.
"We were able to provide our customer with an economical connector suitable for use in IFE systems by creating a "mutual program" price for both the LRU connector and the aircraft side-mounting tray connectors required by the aircraft integrator," said Keith Teichmann, director of marketing for ITT Interconnect Solutions. "Because the ARINC 600 connector package utilizes a single part number, no additional assembly drawings or instructions were needed, providing increased simplicity for our customer, particularly since the data package and configuration for the 4MCU ARINC 600 are controlled by the FAA."
The ARINC 600 connector features ITT Interconnect Solutions'Quadrax contacts for gigabit Ethernet channels, along with a custom size two shell designed to reduce EMI/RFI emissions. The connector utilizes custom insert arrangements and pre-loaded inserts with extended tail contacts to eliminate unused positions and for faster PC board mounting, respectively. The ARINC 600 connector's polarizing keys were pre-loaded and fixed PEM® nuts were implemented to ensure no loose hardware upon installation.
Unit pricing for the ARINC 600 connector is approximately $367.55.
