EPX® Series, ARINC Inserts

ARINC Inserts are specific types of components used in electronic systems for establishing connections between backplanes or circuit boards. These connectors are designed based on the ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Incorporated) standards, which were developed for aviation electronics and other applications where high-reliability interconnect systems are required. ARINC Inserts are modular inserts that fit into standardized frames of backplane connectors. They allow for the assembly of customized connector configurations by combining different types of electrical and fiber optic contact inserts. This modular design enables flexibility in meeting the specific needs of different applications and allows for easy replacement or reconfiguration of faulty equipment in the field. These inserts are commonly used in aviation and aerospace applications due to their ability to provide reliable and efficient connections in demanding environments. They support blind-mating, which means that the connectors can be connected or disconnected without requiring visual alignment. This feature is particularly useful in situations where space is limited or access to the connectors is restricted. ARINC Inserts play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of signal transmission and communication in aviation systems. They ensure robust and secure connections between various avionics equipment, data acquisition systems, flight control systems, and other critical components. Additionally, they are also utilized in ground-based communication systems like radar and air traffic control systems. In summary, ARINC Inserts are modular components used in backplane connectors to establish reliable connections in aviation electronics and other high-reliability applications. They comply with ARINC standards and offer flexibility, ease of replacement, and blind-mating capabilities. By incorporating ARINC Inserts into electronic systems, engineers can ensure efficient and secure interconnections between critical components, contributing to the overall reliability and performance of the system.
