DSX Series (SAE AS91659 - ARINC 404)

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Radiall DSX series are multipin rectangular connectors designed for interfacing avionics equipment with equipment racks. They are used in commercial and military aircraft, radar systems, power circuits, and flight simulators. The series includes versions such as DSX – SAE AS81659, DSX - ARINC 404 shell types A and B, DSX - F, DSX - DATA BUS, and DSX - EMI/RFI.
Product Overview
DSX connectors come in various shell sizes and configurations to accommodate different contact arrangements. They feature a polarizing system to prevent mismating and are available in both environmental and non-environmental versions.
Technical Characteristics
  • Electrical: Contact sizes range from 22 to 12, with varying axial loads and current capacities. Coax contacts have a nominal impedance of 50 Ω.
  • Mechanical & Environmental: Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to +125°C, with durability of 500 mating cycles. They are resistant to fluids and vibrations.
  • Materials: Made from materials like aluminum alloy, silicone rubber, and copper alloy, with various platings for corrosion resistance.
How to Order
Ordering involves specifying the military part number for connectors marked with military specifications. Various codes are used for different contact arrangements and polarizations.
Applications
DSX connectors are used in avionics for interfacing equipment to racks, ensuring reliable connections in harsh environments. They are suitable for multiplexed digital links and provide shielding against EMI/RFI.
Conclusion
The DSX series offers a versatile range of connectors for aerospace applications, with options for different environmental conditions and contact configurations.
Connector Specifications and Ordering Guide
Contact Delivery and Installation: Size 16 contacts for 67, 32C4, and 33C4 arrangements are delivered not installed and require crimp termination.
Ordering Connectors: The ordering process involves selecting attributes such as series, class, shell size, shell type, grounding, termination style, contact arrangement, contact type, and modification code. Class options include non-environmental (N), environmental (E), and connectors with interfacial seal (T).
Contact Arrangements: Various contact arrangements are available, each with specific dielectric withstanding voltage (DWV) ratings and class compatibility (N, E, T). For instance, arrangement C5 has 5 power contacts with a DWV of 2500V at 60Hz, available only in class N.
Modification Codes: These codes determine the mounting and plating options for connectors. Codes specify details such as the number and type of holes or nuts, and whether the shell is nickel-plated.
Polarization Codes: These codes define the position of polarization keys and posts on the connectors, ensuring proper alignment and mating.
Additional Notes: Connectors can be front or rear-mounted, and specific modification codes are required for certain mounting configurations.
Sealing Boots and Accessories
Sealing boots are specified for various cable diameters, with part numbers provided for each type. Sealing bushings and sleeves are also listed for different cable types.
Sealing and Filler Plugs
Sealing plugs and filler plugs are categorized by contact size, with part numbers provided. These plugs are used in environmental and non-environmental connectors.
Dust Caps
Dust caps are available in conductive (black) and non-conductive (red) versions, made from thermoplastic and polyethylene, respectively.
Backshells
Backshells are available in top, right, and left entry types, with options for yellow anodized or nickel plating.
Shell Sizes and Dimensions
Dimensions for shell sizes 1 to 4 are provided, with specifications for both environmental and non-environmental configurations.
Cross Reference
A comprehensive cross-reference table lists Radiall part numbers alongside their corresponding military part numbers.
Overview: This document provides detailed specifications and ordering information for Radiall's DSX series connectors, including part numbers, contact arrangements, and technical characteristics.
Specifications: The document lists various DSX series connectors with corresponding Radiall and military part numbers. It includes details on shell sizes, types, and termination styles.
Contact Arrangements: The document outlines contact arrangements for different connector types, specifying the number of contacts and their sizes.
Ordering Information: Instructions are provided on how to order DSX-F and DSX-Data Bus connectors, including details on shell size, type, contact arrangement, and polarization codes.
Technical Characteristics: The document describes the materials used in the connectors and their plating options. It also covers electrical characteristics like dielectric withstanding voltage (DWV) and mechanical and environmental characteristics.
Notes and Recommendations: Several notes highlight important considerations, such as the need to order coax contacts separately for certain arrangements and the availability of connectors with or without polarization systems.
