1-2358900-1

Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-2358900-1 is a fiber optic receptacle assembly designed for circular connector applications. It features contact size 13 and utilizes crimp termination for the optical interface. The housing finish is Durmalon, providing environmental protection. This component is part of the MIL-DTL-38999 series compatible family, intended for high-reliability interconnect solutions in demanding sectors.

Feature Summary

• Fiber optic receptacle assembly with crimp termination
• Durmalon shell finish for corrosion resistance
• Contact size 13 configuration

Applications

• Aerospace communication systems
• Defense radar and sensor networks
• Marine navigation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific fiber type and core/cladding dimensions required for your application, as this receptacle is an assembly component that must mate with compatible fiber pigtails or cables. Confirm that the Durmalon finish meets the environmental specifications of the target deployment environment. Ensure compatibility with the corresponding plug housing from the same series to maintain seal integrity and mechanical alignment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fiber optic interface is required within a ruggedized circular connector form factor. The crimp termination method necessitates precise cable preparation tools. Consider the operating temperature range and vibration resistance requirements typical of aerospace and defense platforms when validating this assembly against system specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broad category of fiber optic circular connectors manufactured by TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine. These assemblies are engineered to replace traditional electrical interconnects where signal integrity and immunity to electromagnetic interference are critical. The design supports high-density packaging in constrained spaces common in modern avionics and military hardware.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other MIL-DTL-38999 Series III fiber optic receptacles from TE Connectivity or qualified equivalents from manufacturers such as Amphenol or ITT Cannon, provided they match the contact size, termination style, and mounting interface.
