EB16 OPTICAL SINGLE MODE AND MULTIMODE PIN AND SOCKET TERMINI DURABILITY AND RUGGEDNESS OF EXPANDED BEAM OPTICS USING SPRINGLESS MATING AND CRIMPLESS CABLE RETENTION AEROSPACE, DEFENSE & MARINE / EB16 OPTICAL SINGLE MODE AND MULTIMODE PIN AND SOCKET TERMINI EB16 Optical Single Mode and Multimode Pin and Socket Termini Rugged Single Mode and Multimode Optical Performance for Harsh Environments Leveraging our industry accepted PRO BEAM Expanded Beam technology, TE Connectivity (TE) has developed its newest rugged expanded beam optical termini — Single Mode (SM) and Multimode (MM) EB16. The EB16 termini are size 16 optical contacts, fit-form compliant with MIL-DTL-38999 Series I and Series III and MILSTD-1760 lanyard release size 16 AWG cavity. These termini are drop-in replacements for the MIL-PRF-29504 /4 and /5 physical contact termini used in many ruggedized circular connector systems and can also be used in a hybrid combination with power contacts. Non-Contacting Interface Contrary to the physical contact 29504 termini, the springless EB16 does not require mating by a spring force. This feature is particularly useful in reducing the substantial mating force required when using high-count connector inserts. The expanded beam optical, non-contacting interface prevents wear and tear on the light carrying elements of the termini, especially in high-mating cycle, high-vibration and/or high shock applications. The ball lenses of the pin and socket termini expand and collimate the optical signal into a beam size well beyond its original size to provide easier optical alignment, low sensitivity to contamination and consistent performance over thermal changes. The beam traverses the interface airgap from the transmission side and is then refocused back into the core of the receiving fiber. The beam area is expanded approximately 150 times between lenses with limited signal deterioration by airborne contamination particles of the same size that affect the performance of the PC connection. The termini’s end-face is easily cleaned.
