Coaxial Contacts for ARINC†

Traffic Alert and Collision

Avoidance System (TCAS)

22 FEB 12 Rev C

All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and inches].

Unless otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of ±0.13 [±.005] and angles have a tolerance of ±2°. Figures

and illustrations are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.

1. INTRODUCTION

This specification covers the requirements for application of Modified Size 1 Coaxial Socket Contacts and Pin

Adapters that are designed for ARINC Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS). There are various

socket contact kits available to accommodate a wire range of coaxial cable sizes. Pin adapters accept threaded

SMA Coaxial Plugs and flexible or semi-rigid cable at one end and Size 1 Coaxial Socket Contacts at the other

end.

Each socket contact kit consists of a socket body, center contact, ferrule, and a piece of heat shrink tubing.The

socket contacts are designed to be assembled by hand, using military-approved hand crimping tools and dies

qualified to M22520. The adapters are pre-assembled and ready for installation into a TCAS Connector.

When corresponding with TE Connectivity Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to

facilitate your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

2.3. Drawings

Customer drawings for specific products are available from the responsible TE Engineering Department via the

service network. The information contained in the Customer Drawings takes priority if there is a conflict with this

specification or with any other technical documentation supplied by TE.

2.4. Specifications

Product Specification 108-1427 provides performance tests for these socket contacts and adapters.

3. REQUIREMENTS

No pre-assembly procedure is required for the adapters. The pre-assembly procedure for the cable socket

contacts is covered in the following text.

3.1. Cable Selection and Preparation

Socket contact kits are available for the cable sizes listed in Figure 3. The cable strip dimensions, and the center

contact and ferrule crimp dimensions are provided in Figure 2.

Figure 2

3.2. Special Handling and Assembly Procedure

1. Obtain a socket contact kit specified for your cable size.

2. Slide shrink tubing and ferrule over the cable end as shown in Figure 2.

3. Strip the outer jacket and center conductor to the length provided in Figure 2. Use care to avoid cutting,

nicking, or scraping of the center conductor or shield strands.

4. Flare shield to fit evenly over the crimp end of the socket body. See Figure 2.

5. Insert the center conductor into the contact until the dielectric butts against the contact wire barrel.

6. Obtain the hand tool and die assembly specified for the cable size to be crimped (see chart in Figure 3).

7. Place the lower die (die with post) in tool base and the upper die (die with hole) in the head of the tool. See

Figure 3.

8. With the tool handles fully opened, position the contact in the lower die as shown in Figure 3.

a. Uninsulated Contact

The cable dielectric for uninsulated contacts should be butted on the contact wire barrel and die.

b. Insulated Contact

The insulator should be against the die but not in the crimp area, and the dielectric of the cable should be

butted against the contact wire barrel.

9. Holding the cable and contact in place, close the tool handles until they bottom, and the ratchet

disengages.

The crimp will appear at one of three locations - depending on the type of cable selection and the die assembly used (see

table in Figure 3).

10. Check the crimped center contact to be sure the crimp is properly located.

11. Using care to prevent deformation of the shield, insert the crimped center contact into the contact body

until bottomed. Pull back lightly on the cable to be sure the center contact is locked in place.

12. Make sure the shield is evenly positioned around the support, then slide the ferrule over the shield until

bottomed on the contact body.
