Radiall Unveils Size-10 Concentric Twinax Contact

Radiall USA has introduced its size-10 concentric twinax contact with three new insert configurations for the NSX series (Arinc 600 standard). The NSX series (Arinc 600 standard) are multi-pin rack-and-panel connectors used to connect high-performance avionic equipment. The size-10 contact is said to complement the legacy size-eight and size-five ranges and offers greater density while providing good electrical performance.

The contacts are available in both standard crimp termination and solder tails for printed circuit card applications. The new layout possibilities are coded as 13T13 with contacts size 10, 18T18 with 18 contacts size 10, and 15T6Q2 with two contacts size eight, seven contacts size 16 and six contacts size 10. Size-10 contacts can be either concentric twinax or triax type, size eight can be coax, concentric twinax, triax or quadrax, and size 16 is power.
