Connectors

Delphi's Flight Termini / MIL-PRF-29504/4 & /5 Style contain self-aligning termini which are are the foundation of Delphi's field proven fiber optic connectors. The self-aligning termini are available in a COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) version.

Delphi's fiber optic termini utilize constant pressure from a specially designed coil spring to help prevent termini separation resulting from shock, vibration or thermal cycling. The M29504 termini "float" within the connector and self-align to provide precise mating every time due to the unique shape of the ferrule and alignment sleeve hood.
