Lane unveils new circular MIL-DTL-38999 fibre optic connectors
Published:  01 August, 2009

UK connector product specialists, Lane Electronics, has announced a new series of circular fibre optic connectors from Souriau Connection Technology. They can be supplied with an aluminium, stainless steel, nickel aluminium bronze or composite shell.

The ELIO fibre optic connector range has been designed for use where severe vibration is encountered or mechanical resistance required. It is housed within the MIL-DTL-38999 connector platform and benefits from the inherent qualities of a field proven high specification military connector.

The Souriau MIL-DTL-38999 Series III ELIO connector range is supplied as standard with olive green Cadmium or Nickel plating and are available from 2 to 24 way, housed across five shell sizes.

The connectors are easy to install and the ‘contacts' easy to terminate with no special tooling required. Ease of cleaning is a major benefit. Lane Electronics offers a rapid turnround, fibre termination/polishing service using parts from its extensive stocks to customer specific requirements.

With an environmental performance to MIL-DTL-38999 and EN-3645, they have an operating temperature range of -65ºC to +150ºC and an endurance of 500 mating/unmating operations. The Composite version is the only lightweight RoHS Compliant connector to have 500 hrs salt spray resistance.

As the UK's leading franchised assembling distributor for Souriau Connection Technology, Lane Electronics also stocks and assembles MIL-DTL-38999 series I and III connectors in the newly QPL qualified Zinc Nickel plating finish to compliment the existing Cadmium, Nickel and Zinc cobalt finishes. Other connector variants stocked and assembled include JVS Nickel Aluminium Bronze, Composite and Stainless Steel body materials.
