ITT's BKA Series meets the performance requirements of ARINC 600. The BKA Series connectors feature size-eight rear-release crimp pin and socket Quadrax contacts, and size-eight front-release PC pin Quadrax contacts that provide ease of repair. The crimp contacts terminate to 100-ohm Star Quadrax cable. The size-two and -three connectors can accommodate from 28 to 56 Quadrax contacts. The ARINC 600-designed BKA Series connectors feature Quadrax contacts keyed to an Ethernet-specific aluminum insert. Mix and match inserts allow signal, power and Ethernet connections. ITT's KJAQ Series connectors are MIL-DTL-38999 qualified and feature a metal housing that prevents insulator damage. Utilizing Quadrax technology in the rear-release crimp pin and socket contacts, as well as the front-release PC pin contacts, the KJAQ Series connector is 100% scoop-proof, which allows for blind mate situations.
