TE Connectivity EB16 series optical socket termini

TE Connectivity (TE) has developed its newest rugged expanded beam optical termini – Single Mode (SM) and Multimode (MM) EB16. The EB16 termini are size 16 optical contacts, fit-form compliant with MIL-DTL-38999 series I and series III and MIL-STD-1760 lanyard release size 16 AWG cavity. These termini are drop-in replacements for the MIL-PRF-29504 /4 and /5 physical contact termini used in many ruggedized circular connector systems and can also be used in a hybrid combination with power contacts.
