Cinch Connectivity Solutions brings MIL-STD-1553B bus couplers to wider market

The Trompeter 1553B solution is backed by Cinch’s support network, engineering resources, and when teamed with distributor stock, allows customers to get to market quickly and stay in the market longer.

The Trompeter product offering includes a range of bus couplers with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 stub counts, along with the terminators, RFI caps, and the cable and cable assemblies required to implement a fully compliant MIL-STD-1553 data bus link. All of the bus couplers provided are supplied as unterminated types and the range includes lead-free versions. The bus couplers feature Trompeter BJ770 connectors with P75 mating with an operating temperature range of -55 to +125°C.

The MIL-STD-1553 remains the preferred serial bus for military and avionics systems but is becoming increasingly popular for civil applications thanks to its robust architecture. With over 40 years of proven reliability, products complying with the MIL-STD-1553 offer dependable connectivity that can withstand harsh environmental and electromagnetic environments, giving manufacturers greater confidence when building data links.

"We are making the Trompeter MIL-STD-1553 Bus Coupler series available through our distribution network in order to bring its benefits to a wider engineer audience," explained Duane Teachout, Product Manager, Cinch Connectivity Solutions. "Each part comes with full access to Bel's extensive support network and engineering resources, to help our customers get to market quickly and stay in market longer."
