ELIOBEAM termini series

Our Souriau line of ELIOBEAM termini are the expanded beam solution issued from ELIO optical contacts. Ideal for harsh environments, with no physical contact, it fits all standard EN4531 ELIO physical contact cavities.

The ELIOBEAM fiber optics termini are designed around a robust 2.5mm metal ferrule, embedding the lens. It has the same fit and form as the traditional ELIO physical contact termini and the assembly is also very similar.

The insertion and retention inside the connector are ensured by a bayonet locking mechanism without any special tool. The termini integrate a seal inside the rear boot, thus the connection is sealed from the rear side without a backshell or a grommet. The 8D ELIO range covers layout from 1 to 24 ways in all type of material shell. ELIOBEAM can also be adapted in all #8 cavities of 8D 38999 series III connector and ARINC 600 connector thanks to the ELIO AQ adaptor.

In the female insert, the termini are flushed to the insert surface, thus removing the traditional dust collecting socket cavity design.

The same termini part number can adapt tight or loose structure cable.
