Main

Main Characteristics

Characteristics

Environmental Protection

• Sealing (mated) : IP67 (Temporary immersion - 1M up to 30

minutes)

• Salt Spray :

48 hr with Nickel plating

500 hr with Olive Drab Cadmium

• Fire Retardant / Low Smoke : UL94 V0 and NF F 16 101 & 16 102

• Vibrations : 10 – 500 Hz, 10 g, 3 axes : no discontinuity > 1micro s

• Shocks : IK06 : weight of 250 g drop from 40 cm [15.75 in] onto

connectors (mated pair)

• Humidity : 21 days, 43°C, 98% humidity

• Temperature Range : - 55°C / +85°C

Data Transmission

• IEEE 1394a – 2000

Data rate

400 Mbits/second over 4.5 meters

Mechanical

• Tri-start thread coupling mechanism (MIL-DTL-38999

series III type) with anti-decoupling device

•FW plug retention in the receptacle : 100 N in the axis

• Mating cycles : 500 to 1500 times

Can be used with most IEEE 1394 cordset brands : No tools required!

Assembly Instructions

1.

If a fully sealed (IP67) assembly is required: Install the

white tape around the plug to cover the 4 holes of the

overmolding. If there are no holes omit this step.

2.

Insert the black O Ring around the front face of the IEEE

1394 plug. This O Ring will ensure the seal.

3.

Insert the IEEE 1394 cordset into the metallic backshell.

4.

Insert laterally onto the cable the retention spacer (this

spacer is soft so as to adapt to various overmolding styles)

and slide the IEEE 1394 plug into this retention spacer.

5.

Insert the friction ring laterally onto the cable cordset.

6.

Insert the IEEE 1394 plug into the metallic circular shell.

Note at this step that the main key is used for polarization.

7.

Screw the backshell on the plug body. A spanner may be

required to fully close the backshell to the circular shell.

Important Note : The sealing of the connector is not done by the

black retention spacers which are sloted, but rather by the

front face O-Ring (Fig 2).

Plug Assembly

Receptacle Assembly

(For Solder back-termination Styles only)

To Solder your cable onto the PCB :

1.

Attach the 2 metallized plastic inserts around the PCB

(Fig 1a & 1b).

2.

Insert the IEEE 1394 module from the rear of the

connector.
