8D Series & ARINC 600 Series ELIOBEAM Fiber Optic Contact Expanded Beam Optical Termini The optical connection requirement for environmentally exposed mating cycles. Robust to contamination Large beam transmission at the connection interface. No dust collecting socket cavity: Easy design in ELIOBEAM can be mounted in all standard EN4531 cavities either in MIL-DTL-38999 or ARINC 600 connectors. Excellent performances Contact alignment is based on ceramic sleeve naturally protected by the contact when the connector is unmated. 8D Series & ARINC 600 Series ELIOBEAM Fiber Optic Contact ELIObeam contact Fit in all ELIO standard cavities (ABS1213, EN4531) Optical lense for expanded beam Allows signal communication without physical contacts Used like ELIO standard contact EN4531 Style ABS1379 Style Technical features Mechanical Environmental Resistance to fluids as per MIL-DTL-38999/EN3645 Endurance: Salt spray: See the connector standard standard Minimum 500 mating/unmating operations Temperature range*: Shock: - 65C to +125C (1000 hours) Fuel: JP5 300 g, 3ms as per EN 2591-6402 method A Rapid temperature change: Mineral Hydraulic fluid: Vibration: 10 cycles - 65C / +150C (30min/30min) MIL-PRF-5606 ( NATO H-515) In MIL-DTL-38999 Series III/EN3645 connectors: Air leakage: Synthetic hydraulic fluid: 3 - Sine 5Hz to 3000Hz as per EN2591-6403 Max leakage 16 cm /h, 2 hours, AS1241 (Skydrol 500B4, LD4) method A 40kPa differential pressure - Random as per EN2591-6403 method B Mineral lubricant: MIL-PRF-7870 (NATO O-142) Damp heat and low temperature: Cable cyclic flexing*: 5 cycles of 48h -65C/+70C with stage at 100 cycles, load 40N as per EN2591-609 Synthetic lubricant: 40C with 95% of humidity as per MIL-PRF-23699 (NATO O-156), EN2591- 6303 method A Cable pulling*: 111N MIL-PRF-7808 ( NATO O-148) Cable torsion*: Cleaning fluid: 100 cycles, load 40N as per EN2591-611 MIL-PRF-87937 diluted, Propanol, white Optical spirit, Azeotrope R113 + Methanol Multimode contact - Insertion Loss (IL): De-icing fluid: AMS 1424 ( NATO S-742) < 0.7dB mean 95% of the samples as per EN2591-601, Extinguishing fluid: Chlorobromethane < 1.0dB maximum on 100% of the samples after tests Cooling fluid: Coolanol Multimode contact - Return Loss (RL): > 16dB before and after tests as per * With multimode EN4641-100 and EN4641-301 cables and following the maintenance procedure in the document EN2591-605 Technical Bulletin N170 - Fiber optics installation and main- tenance procedure. 2
