Connectors

Delphi's Shipboard Termini / MIL-PRF-29504/14 & /15 are free floating, self-aligning termini which are the foundation of Delphi's field proven fiber optic connectors. The self-aligning MIL-PRF-29504 qualified termini are available in both MIL-SPEC and COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) versions.

Delphi's fiber optic termini utilize a constant mating force from specially designed Belleville springs 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.
