A new “backshell to backshell” connector system, the DG 123, that significantly improves corrosion resistance, durability and electromagnetic (EMI) compatibility, while also offering weight savings of more than 30% in comparison with standard aluminium connectors, is now gaining considerable acceptance in new aircraft and avionic projects. Applications for this revolutionary approach to the design of circular connectors using “composite” materials and metalisation processes include weapon pylons on carrier borne aircraft — where the DG123 correction system has contributed to a significant improvement on the Mean Time Between Failure (M.T.B.F.) figure. The connectors are also used on missile systems and have recently been approved for use on the United States space station “Freedom”.
