Optical connector Mini AVIM™

DMIratchettitanium

The Mini AVIM® is a Diamond development for Exomars rover originally and has been standardized under ESCC 3420/001 Detail specification. Some variants of that specifications have been qualified under ESCC and can be found in the ESCC QPL site on escies.org. The Mini AVIM® connector has been developed after market request of a smaller and lighter version of our acclaimed AVIM® connector for harsh environment, especially space applications. The Mini AVIM® combines two leading edge technologies: the AVIM® MILstyle ratchet system and the base construction of Diamond Micro Interface (DMI) connector. Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) availability and economy backed by component availability from stock and quick turnaround of terminations and assemblies. The Mini AVIM® is aligned precisely in rotation and therefore it can be used for both standard SM and MM fibers, as well as for PM technologies and multi-fiber ferrules or multi-core fibers. Our Power Solution (PS) technology can also be applied to this connector lower the power density with a GRIN lens to improve resistance to power failure. Harsh environment applications will range from Space to underwater, applying to mobile, avionics, shipboard, oil downhole, etc. Features • Compact, small and lightweight • Low loss thanks to Diamond Active Core Alignment (A.C.A.) • High return loss thanks to Diamond polishing technique and A.C.A. • Miniaturized MIL-style ratchet system with high vibration/shock resistance • All Titanium – ZrO2 material for ultra low CTE mismatch
