Typically, the plug is installed on the avionics rack and the receptacle on the equipment box. Applications include commercial and military aircraft and helicopters, railway, radar systems, power circuits, in-flight electronic instrumentation, and flight simulators.
The DSX connector is available in four shell sizes (1, 2, 3 & 4) with environmental and non-environmental versions as well as EMI/RFI options to improve shielding effectiveness.
Inserts are offered in various contact arrangements accommodating rear release, rear removable signal (size 22) power (sizes 5, 12, 16 & 20HD), coaxial (sizes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 15), concentric twinax (sizes 5 & 9) triax (sizes 5 & 9) contacts in crimp, wire wrap or PC tail termination. Radiall’s 29504 fiber optic termini are also available.
Shell types are plugs and receptacles made from an aluminum alloy with cadmium yellow chromate or nickel-plating options.
