Electronic and digital embedded systems technology—such as deployed in fly-by-wire computer systems or in other electronics gear—enables military and commercial aircraft to process the massive loads of data generated by critical navigation, communication, and flight-control systems.

 Embedded RF transmit/receive systems on communication satellites require interconnects that save size and weight and can operate successfully under the extreme environmental conditions of space

Interconnects and the Evolution of Modern Flight Systems Mission-critical electronics extend through every zone of a modern aircraft, ship, or spacecraft, and require complex interconnection of critical power supplies, remote sensors, and control computers. Radio frequency (RF) and higher-frequency microwave systems, for example, are ubiquitous in avionic platforms. RF transmission-and-receive modules are backbone technologies in AESA radar systems. Other RF LRUs are found in satellite communications and instrument flight procedure (IFP) platforms. High-speed digital datalinks, such as deployed in short-distance copper connections for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, are critical in a wide range of sensor, video downlink, and data storage applications.

Power connections are equally essential, as every avionic and flight technology system depends on the safe provision of electrical power for operation. From low-power sensor requirements (say 3–5 amps) to higher power requirements for actuators and other electromechanical devices, the delivery of reliable power is a key requirement in EWIS wiring. In all these cases—RF, high-speed digital, and power, as well as in more conventional signal (databus) applications—industry requirements have evolved far beyond the capabilities of conventional interconnect devices. Gone are the days when a standard-density power or signal connector would be of any interest to EWIS designers facing extreme data-rate, mechanical, environmental, and electrical requirements of operation. Likewise gone is any interest in interconnect technologies that fail to contribute to size and weight reduction efforts in modern aerospace systems. Mighty Mouse: The Original Small Form-Factor Circular From fixed wing and rotary aircraft to space launch and satellite systems, the evolution in connector and cable miniaturization has reached full maturity in high- density, ruggedized connectors like the Glenair Mighty Mouse. These reduced form-factor circulars have been optimized for harsh environmental performance in aerospace and defense platforms. The Mighty Mouse Series 805, for example—a double-start rapid mate circular connector—has been designed into more commercial and military aircraft platforms than any other mil-grade micro miniature connector.

But even the Series 805, as ideally suited as it has been for aircraft applications these many years, has been historically unable to meet several of the most stringent performance benchmarks of the MIL-DTL-38999 spec.— the “gold-standard” in the qualification of interconnects for aerospace use. In key areas such as vibration and shock resistance, high-altitude environmental performance, and high-altitude DWV, the double- start Series 805 has been limited to use in less-harsh, pressurized aircraft zones. Series 806: Mission-Driven Design For this reason, Glenair embarked several years ago on a new miniaturized connector development project to create the ultimate harsh-environment, reduced form- factor circular connector—one that could truly meet, if not exceed, MIL-DTL-38999 Series III specifications. Our goal was to create a triple-start ACME-thread mating connector, suitable for use in every aircraft zone, both pressurized and non-pressurized.

The result of this work, the Series 806 Mil-Aero, is today the only available micro-miniature circular connector with independent lab-verified performance in accordance with every MIL-DTL-38999 Series III qualification requirement. The Series 806 is a mature interconnect solution with environmental crimp-contact offerings as well as hermetics, filters, high-speed, RF, fiber optic, and power solutions. The Series 806 is fully tooled, 100% made in America, and available with lead-times from one day to five weeks. Connector optimization and miniaturization is a complex matter, calling for deep fluency in material dielectrics, frequency modulation, partial discharge, optical back- reflection and dozens of other disciplines. As LRU proliferation and packaging continues to evolve, so must connector and cable technologies. The differing equipment sets used in manned and unmanned applications, as well as in evolving systems such as eVTOL air taxis, all share the same challenges and opportunities: compliance to harsh application safety requirements and the reduction of size and weight so critical to mission performance.

Connector optimization and miniaturization is a complex matter, calling for deep fluency in countless disciplines, from material dielectrics, to frequency modulation, partial discharge, optical back-reflection, and dozens of other requirements.

M I S S I O N - D R I V E N D E S I G N : MIL-DTL-38999 TYPE Micro Miniature Conne c t o r s a nd Ca b l e s

The Series 806 Mil-Aero is a high-density, high- performance micro miniature circular connector ideally suited for harsh military/ aerospace applications.

Band-Master ATS® Nano banding tool

SHOCK + VIBE The Series 806 Mil-Aero is an aerospace-grade micro miniature circular connector with triple-start threaded coupling. The 806 connector is smaller and lighter than conventional aerospace connectors. Featuring size 22HD and 20HD contacts, plus size 8 power and high-speed El Ochito®, quadrax, and fiber optic options, the Series 806 offers up to twice the number of contacts—with no reduction in performance—compared to MIL-DTL-38999 Series III. In fact, independent laboratory testing has demonstrated that the Series 806 meets, and in many cases exceeds, the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999. Glenair pioneered integral shield banding platforms to allow direct attachment of cable shields, boots, and overmolds. This innovation continues with the 806— Glenair’s first connector to exclusively use the ultra lightweight Nano shield Band-Master ATS band for maximum size and weight reduction.

O-ring peripheral seal

But there is more to the 806 than just size and weight reduction. This flight-proven high-performance connector has many innovative features that meet the most aggressive requirements of the military/aerospace industry, including better resistance to vibration-induced decoupling. This is accomplished by re-engineering the ratchet mechanism and introducing a shallower mating thread ramp angle than is available in D38999. When it comes to sealing, the Series 806 Mil-Aero connector features an O-ring radial interface sealing design instead of a flat gasket. This allows for easier metal-to-metal coupling for improved sealing, as well as better EMI performance. The MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and other legacy aerospace circular connectors have a flat gasket inside the receptacle shell. This peripheral seal must be compressed sufficiently to allow full metal- to-metal connector bottoming. In certain tolerance conditions this seal can make it difficult to fully mate the connectors “without the use of tools” as is required by MIL-DTL-38999.

Rigorous Qualification Testing Glenair has completed numerous rounds of qualification testing on the Series 806 and has all necessary test reports on file. A comprehensive summary report on Series 806 performance, including operating temperature range, moisture resistance, vibration and shock, and dielectric withstanding voltage is offered here in this issue. But for overview purposes, let’s take a look now at four of the most important qualification benchmarks. High-temperature tolerance in the range of +200°C is a rare capability in micro miniature connectors. High temperature tolerance is critical for the Series 806 Mil- Aero as high-altitude DWV and the placement of the connector in FADEC controls and other areas in close proximity to engines was a primary design requirement. Dielectric insulators are fabricated from high-temperature tolerant, glass-filled rigid dielectric. And unlike many current and legacy military/aerospace connectors, insert retention in the Series 806 is guaranteed through the incorporation of a mechanical retention ring.

For applications requiring even higher temperature tolerance, special ThermaRex and ThermaRex Cryo designs are currently in testing, with expanded temperature tolerance from -200°C to +300°C.

ENVIRONMENTAL SEALING passed all MIL-DTL-38999 Series III vibration tests including sine and random vibration testing at 200°C. The anti-decoupling mechanism, engineered around a special 7075 Aluminum alloy shell, delivers excellent ductility, strength, and proven performance in highly- stressed structural applications such as the knurled ratchet mechanism on the Series 806. High-durability performance in the anti-decoupling mechanism is further ensured with the use of a stainless-steel ratchet spring. We mentioned earlier that the shallower ramps on the triple-start thread mating interface, combined with an extremely robust self-locking coupling nut, results in a connector series that excels in vibration testing. In fact, Series 806 Mil-Aero is the only high-density micro miniature connector of its kind that has successfully “Triple ripple”wire grommet seal

Turning to environmental performance, the Series 806 Mil- Aero utilizes a “triple ripple”wire grommet seal, cork-and- bottle interfacial seal, and internal O-ring peripheral seal to ensure robust environmental sealing, even during 75,000 ft. altitude immersion testing. Ensuring high-altitude voltage ratings is a critical concern for microminiature circulars, given the minimal center-to-center distance between contacts. Nevertheless, it was considered critical for this connector to meet the same sea level and 70,000 ft. unpressurized zone DWV benchmarks as the MIL- DTL-38999 for both size #22HD and #20HD contacts utilized in high-density Series 806 insert arrangements.Glenair engineers were able to achieve this higher voltage rating through the use of an innovative Top Hat insulator, which lengthens the discharge creep path in shorting and flashover testing. This unique capability and design is only available in the Series 806 Mil-Aero—the only micro miniature circular with proven real-world performance meeting this 70,000 ft. DWV rating.

“Top Hat” insulator lengthens creep path

Maximize Contact Density with Series 806 The promise of the Series 806 Mil-Aero is not only that it meets or exceeds MIL-DTL-38999 performance— and that it does so in a significantly smaller size and weight package—but that it enables much higher contact density compared to standard subminiature connectors. This figure compares a D38999 Series III size 9 (lower left) with a Series 806 size 11 (upper right). Although relatively similar in size, the Series 806 size 11 can carry over three times the number of size #22HD contacts. Even when the 38999 is equipped with ultra-small size 23 contacts, the 806 can still carry more than double that number of larger size #22s, with better electrical performance and larger gauge wire support.

Series 806 Mil-Aero combo insert arrangements support applications with both standard data signal requirements, plus high-speed datalink (multi-gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, etc.), as well as RF / microwave, and power. Keyed El Ochito® octaxial contacts support 10GbE in a single shielded contact. Keyed size #8 differential Twinax and industry-standard Quadrax are also supported. A broad range of non-keyed RF Coax contacts—available in different frequency ranges—as well as non- keyed size #8 power contacts are also supported in these combo insert arrangements.

LIGHTWEIGHT DUMMY CONTACT SEALING PLUGS Glenair recommends the use of dummy contact sealing plugs for use in unwired contact cavities. Sealing plugs are available for use in any of the above insert arrangements with size #22HD and #20HD contacts. Dummy Contact Sealing Plugs (DCSP) are a weight-saving alternative to populating unused cavities with electrical contacts and conventional sealing plugs, as they do not require the use of unwired contacts in the effective sealing of the contact cavity from the interfacial seal to the rear-end grommet seal. Insertion and removal of DCSP follows the same procedures and uses the same tools as with standard contacts.
