Delphi Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (DFOCA) / MIL-PRF-83526 Connectors

Delphi Fiber Optic Cable Assembly (DFOCA) / MIL-PRF-83526 Connectors are next-generation hermaphroditic fiber optic connectors engineered for harsh environments and military tactical applications. DFOCA Connectors are high performance, high quality connectors designed to military specifications MIL-PRF-83526 and MIL-PRF-29504/16. These second generation connectors with genderless termini replace an original biconical termini design.

Delphi is first-to-market with advanced design features that help simplify assembly and repair in the field, where time is critical. DFOCA Connectors feature an innovative internal subassembly that provides several advantages, including, reduced assembly complexity, fewer subcomponents, and quicker access to termini. An innovative one-piece terminus insertion/removal tool is designed for ease of use and to help prevent fiber breakage. These features help make assembly and field repair easier, quicker and safer while still providing superior optical performance and reliability.

DFOCA Connectors have a rugged design that withstands crush, impact, cable pull-out, water and mud immersion, and other harsh environments.

Benefits/ Features:

• Designed and built to MIL-PRF-83526
• Genderless connection
• Singlemode and multimode
• Removable endface
• Reduced assembly complexity
• Innovative one-piece insertion/removal tool

Typical Applications:

• Tactical field communications

Delphi Flight Termini / MIL-PRF-29504/4 & /5

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.

Benefits/ Features:

• Designed to MIL-PRF-29504/4 & /5
• Available in Style 1 shrink sleeve or Style 3 crimp sleeve
• 1.58 mm ferrule
• Singlemode and multimode
• Improved terminus retention features

Typical Applications:

• Military avionics
• Commercial avionics
• D38999 connectors

Delphi Shipboard Termini / MIL-PRF-29504/14 & /15

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.

Benefits/ Features:

• Qualified to MIL-PRF-29504/14 & /15
• Free-floating, self-aligning design
• Available in singlemode and multimode

Typical Applications:

• Military/aerospace
• Shipboard/pierside
• Harsh environment
• Broadcast
