Data Bus Components
A complete system of interconnection hardware for MIL-STD-1553B networks.
Based on unique material technologies, the Tyco Electronics family of data bus
components offers innovative solutions to today’s aerospace data bus applications.
Raychem Brand Data Bus components include:
• A wide selection of couplers such as
micros, boxes, flat-packs, and ultra light
weight versions
• Data bus cables
• Triax connectors and contacts with strain relief
• One-piece triaxial contacts for MIL-C-38999
connectors
• Bus and stub terminators
• Low outgassing components for use in space
• Cable identification sleeves
• Harness design software – HarnWare
• Flexible cable splices
Used in MIL-STD-1553B multiplexing
applications, coupled with proven field
experience, the Raychem Data Bus
system provides high packaging density,
weight savings, design flexibility, and
high performance to 150 degree C and
beyond.
Custom harnesses built to your drawing
specifications are also available. Pre-
tested, factory-built harnesses provide
quick, easy installation and eliminate
unnecessary splices and connectors,
reducing cost and increasing network
reliability.
Tyco Electronics also supplies complete
data bus harness in accordance
with customer drawings. Using factory-
built harnesses eliminates unnecessary
splices and connectors, reducing the
cost and increasing the reliability of
the networks.

Microcouplers
Compact, in-line, splice-terminated data bus microcouplers, feature lightweight design
that meet the MIL-STD-1553B requirements for hardware configuration and perform-
ance. The low-profile configuration enables avionics system designers to plan for opti-
mum coupler locations.
Tyco Electronics data bus microcouplers are qualified to Raychem Specification D-6020,
European Specification EN-3567, and are specified in the Air Force drawings listed in
8340707. Standard products are supplied with Raychem SPEC 55 data bus cables,
including EMP-hardened versions.
All of these products are available assembled with other components into a complete
data bus harness without splices.

Applications
Building on over 20 years of experience and continuous improvement in data
bus, including pioneering in-line microcouplers, Tyco Electronics introduces a
new family of ultra light- weight in-line Raychem Microcouplers, available in
1- through 6-stub configurations.
These couplers offer the same high performance and reliability as Raychem
current microcouplers, but their weight is further reduced. They are available
in configurations up to 6-stub. There is no option with a mounting eyelet.
Combined with Raychem 24 AWG data bus cables, these ultra light couplers
allow designers to significantly reduce weight. An unfilled flat braid cable is
available for additional weight savings.
They are also available assembled with other customer specified components
into a complete factory-built and tested data bus harness.
