ML radio frequency attenuating connector
Abstract
In the increasingly harsh radio frequency environment associated with modern aerospace and missile systems, it is essential that safety standards are maintained or improved where electrically initiated explosive devices are involved. The Radio Frequency Attenuating Connector (RFAC) effectively protects igniters from electromagnetic interference both in hand held and installed modes. The RFAC provides a highly reliable pinless connector interface utilizing inductive coupling techniques and eliminates the need to use high-power bridgewires typically driven from a 28V dc aircraft or missile power bus. The conventional triggering circuits and data bussing can be replaced in the RFAC by fiber optics.
