D Sub connectors, also known as D Subminiature or D type connectors are small, lightweight connectors that are ideally suited for military equipment, industrial instrumentation, ground support devices and computer equipment. They can also be found in consumer electronics, telecommunications systems, medical equipment and local area networks (LANs).

The Amphenol PCD Luminus Series are lightweight, cost-effective connectors that are highly reliable and simple to use. With multiple configurations and arrangements available, a solution can be tailored to suite your application’s exact requirements. Proven solutions can be found in single engine general aviation, multiple-engine business and passenger jets, and high performance rotary aircraft. Ideal where space is limited, these innovative, “scoop-proof” connectors feature a locking mechanism that ensures stability, are suitable for blind-mating, and are RoHS compliant.

ARINC 404 (Radiall’s DSX series) is a multipin, rack and panel style connector designed to electrically connect equipment racks to avionics equipment.

Ground blocks and terminal and junction modules are used for grounding and wiring integration devices for commercial and military aircraft. Typical applications are lighting in the aircraft, IFE and galley. The ground blocks bodies are made from an aluminum alloy and terminal modules from polyphenylene sulfide. They meet the electrical, mechanical and environmental performance criteria of MIL-J-81714 specification. They provide a large number of ground terminations within close proximity to signal wires and are available in five buss configurations, all designed to accommodate size 16 and 20 AWGH cables terminated with AS39029 contacts.

Hermetic connectors are glass sealed connectors that are designed to operate in extreme environments. The glass to metal sealing enables the connector to be resistant to most liquids and gas, such as gasoline, jet fuel, oil, acids and hydraulic fluids, amongst others, making it an ideal connector for use in harsh environments ranging from satellites to submarines.
