Dust caps and terminators plus adapters enhance data bus integrity and efficiency

Fairview Microwave has released its latest series of advanced MIL-STD-1553 components: dust caps, terminators and adapters. They are engineered to maintain precision, reliability and robustness in demanding operational environments.

The company's MIL-STD-1553 dust cap is a high-quality TRB jack RFI cap providing a three-lug bayonet coupling design, ensuring optimal protection for sensitive electronics against dust and other forms of foreign object damage. Crafted with RoHS-compliant materials, this three-slot TRB RFI dust cap stands out with its rugged design and user-friendly attributes, which protect critical equipment from environmental threats.

The new MIL-STD-1553 terminator further strengthens the company's offerings. Developed to bring closure to open bus lines on a 1553 data bus, these terminators can readily mate with any TRB three-lug or four-lug jack, which are common in standard 1553 data bus couplers and relay devices. With resistance aligning with MIL-R-39007 specifications, these terminators are offered in various resistance options. Professionals can now appreciate a more versatile and robust tool with the added benefit of simulating future load requirements.

The MIL-STD-1553 adapter rounds off the latest offering. Mostly employed in testing environments, these adapters are created for situations requiring one input signal to be disseminated via two output connections. The versatile design permits for the reverse operation as well, overlaying two inputs into a single output. A subminiature design, twinax connectivity, and RoHS-compliant construction guarantee that these adapters are set to satisfy the highest standards of precision and efficiency while also enabling an increased packing density.

"Fairview always strives to develop solutions that address and anticipate the challenges faced by professionals in the field," said product line manager Kevin Hietpas. "These MIL-STD-1553 components are yet another testament to our dedication to excellence and our commitment to serving our customers."
