MIL-STD-1553 dust caps, terminators, and adapters

They are engineered to uphold precision, reliability, and robustness in demanding operational environments.

Fairview’s MIL-STD-1553 dust cap is a high-quality TRB jack RFI cap featuring a three-lug bayonet coupling design, ensuring optimal protection for sensitive electronics against dust and other forms of foreign object damage (FOD). Crafted with RoHS-compliant materials, this three-slot TRB RFI dust cap stands out with its robust design and user-friendly attributes, which shield critical equipment from environmental threats.

The new MIL-STD-1553 terminator further strengthens Fairview’s offerings. Designed to bring closure to open bus lines on a 1553 data bus, these terminators can easily 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 available in a variety of resistance options. Professionals can now enjoy a more versatile and robust tool, with the added benefit of simulating future load requirements.

The MIL-STD-1553 adapter rounds off Fairview’s latest offering. Mostly used in testing environments, these adapters are designed for situations that necessitate one input signal to be disseminated through two output connections. The versatile design allows for the reverse operation as well, overlaying two inputs into a single output. A sub-miniature design, twinax connectivity, and RoHS-compliant construction ensure that these adapters are set to meet 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.”
