ELD Connectors Targets for Modern Avionics

Published:2011/11/11 1:31:00 Author:Amy From:SeekIC

Since the “glass cockpit” has been introduced, commercial and military aircraft manufacturers have experienced big demand for new generation technology. Instead of mechanical, analog and digital gauges, a fully integrated navigation, communications and aircraft systems suite now enjoy great population among pilots, which presents information on easy-to-read liquid crystal (LCD) and electroluminescent (ELD) displays.

The electronic packaging component, one element that is critical to most ELD-style instruments, makes the connection between the printed circuit board and the electroluminescent display. Fujipoly’s low temperature Zebra LT 200 Elastomeric Connector is regarded as the one of the industry’s most cost-effective and reliable options for these types of applications.

The layered carbon-filled and non-conductive silicone construction integrates 240 conductors per inch to suit ELD displays with contact spacing as close as .015” (.38mm). The physical features of the silicone material also make it a good option for extremely cold (-65°C) and high-vibration aerospace environments. The Zebra LT 200 connector offers a current carrying capacity of 50 mA per .040” x .040” pad and can be ordered in custom lengths up to 9 inches.

Fujipoly is the leader in the design, formulation and production of high-performance Thermal Interface Materials, Elastomeric Connectors and Custom Silicone Extrusions. It operates a global network of 9 manufacturing and distribution centers to deliver unprecedented product performance and dependability.
