September 6, 2017 - TE Connectivity (TE), a global leader in connectivity and sensors, announces that its DECK DMC-MD single-module connectors, accessories and modules are EN4165 certified, the most stringent in the avionics industry One of the specifications, is also an independent recognition of connector quality and performance.
Originally invented by the TE in the 1980s, the DMC-MD Single Modular Connector has evolved into one of the most commonly used connectors for cockpit applications in commercial aviation, including in-flight entertainment and lighting systems. Delux DMC-MD connectors provide a modular, versatile and reliable system. The connector provides multi-cavity and single-module configurations, using the same module in each arrangement, providing a compact, lightweight connection.
With its modular, space-saving / weight and ruggedized features, the connector continues to be of interest to users of other applications, including military aircraft and land vehicles. In addition, the connector has been developed to include composite housings, aluminum wire capabilities, fiber optics, higher density, speed and shunt configurations.
"As commercial and military vehicles increasingly rely on electronics, data and connectivity, customers seek to achieve a lightweight, versatile and reliable solution from the industry leaders they rely on." TE's Aerospace, Defense and Marine Stéphane Paya, Europe, Middle East and Africa Rectangular Connector Product Manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said, "Through this certification, our customers and potential customers immediately realize that our products are engineered to meet the highest standards."
TE's DMC-MD single module connectors, accessories and modules are EN4165-003, EN4165-024, EN4165-025 and EN4165-026 certified.
