TE Deutsch 983 Aerospace Connectors

Deutsch 983 Series Aerospace Connectors

• Qualified to EN2997 for both stainless steel and aluminium versions
• Also qualified to ESC10, Boeing BACC63 and Airbus ABS specifications
• Excellent EMI & lightning resistance through shell-shell bottoming, an EMI grounding ring, and 360˚ rear accessory teeth which improve performance when back shells are correctly tightened
• High temperature performance – up to 260˚C
• Self-locking mechanism on the coupling nut provides superior vibration performance
• Excellent corrosion resistance – stainless steel parts meet the 500 hour salt spray requirement
• Thermoset and fluorinated silicon insulators provide fireproof protection as per EN2591 and resistance to fluids
• Interfacial and individual wire seals ensure high levels of environmental sealing
• A wide range of back shells and accessories are available, including straight and 90˚ clamps, backnuts, EMI adaptors and custom designed fittings
• On Aerospace applications, weight saving is a critical consideration. The 983 series provides an ideal solution by incorporating an integral back shell
• The contacts used are qualified to EN3155, giving additional high vibration performance
• Hermetic versions employ glass to metal sealing and are used in a range of applications subject to fuel immersion or high pressure and vacuum.

Series 983 connectors are intermateable and interchangeable with connectors conforming to MIL-DTL-83723. Connectors to MIL-DTL-83723 offer excellent performance in withstanding high temperatures and high vibration, but with the increase in demands in today’s aviation industry there is a requirement for an even higher level of performance and reliability. That’s where the 983 series proves the ideal solution, giving significant improvements in EMI protection, environmental sealing, temperature rating and anti-vibration protection.
