ARINC 600 Enclosures
Our special designs stand up to the most rigorous environmental hazards for in-flight and on-the-ground operations. Each enclosure is fully warrantied, ensuring that your avionics systems equipment will not only fit securely but operate safely.
ARINC 836A Miniature Module
The Miniature Module is a small form factor solution for mounting avionics. The solution enables quick and easy installation and replacement of Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) in the field.
19″ Equipment Rack
Our standard 19” Equipment Rack product line features lightweight, ruggedized construction, leverages innovative design, and delivers a significant weight reduction compared to existing rack designs.
Aluminum Equipment Racks
When you want the lightest possible equipment rack installation, there is still no substitute for a well-designed aluminum structure. These racks are available with integrated plenums for equipment cooling, are optimized for weight and strength, and can be delivered fully wired and ready to fly.
Aluminum Equipment Shelves
These engineered structures can be provided either as a simple frame for your own installation or as fully wired and tested kits ready to bolt into the aircraft and slide into the LRUs.
Composite Equipment Racks
We design and manufacture structural-composite equipment racks that exceed aircraft requirements for weight, durability, and thermal performance. Typical configurations pair composite structural members with precision aluminum interfaces for attachment to the airframe and LRU support.
CubeSat Structural Frame
We proudly offer a CubeSat structural frame available in a variety of sizes. CubeSats are primarily used to conduct scientific research in space, specifically in low orbit. The CubeSat structural frame can house a variety of electrical components and measurement devices.
Overhead Stowage Bin Racks & Structures
Amphenol CIT has engineered a variety of installations in the overhead stowage bins normally used for carry-on baggage to support special cabin equipment such as inflight entertainment or passenger connectivity.
ABS1699 Trays
Our specification-forward ABS1699 trays are standard equipment on all Airbus A3xx aircraft and fully comply with ARINC 600 and ABS1773 requirements specific to these platforms. Manufactured from a lightweight aluminum alloy, ABS1699 trays combine rugged durability with reduced mass for aerospace installations.
ABS1876 Trays
Our ABS1876 tray family, developed for the Airbus A350, is fully compatible with all Airbus A3xx platforms. Compared with our standard ABS1699 trays, ABS1876 trays reduce weight by 20% while remaining fully compliant with ARINC 600 and ABS1773 platform requirements.
ARINC 404A Trays
Our ARINC 404A Trays are designed and fabricated in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility using top-quality aircraft-grade materials to meet or exceed ARINC 404A specifications, as well as all civil and military aircraft application criteria.
ARINC 600 Trays
All ARINC 600 Trays are designed and fabricated in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility using top-quality aircraft-grade materials to meet or exceed ARINC 600 specifications, as well as all civil and military aircraft application criteria.
Lightweight ARINC Trays
Using new fatigue-resistant aluminum materials and a highly refined design, our ARINC 600 trays are 20% lighter than standard trays.
Adjustable Keeper with Mounting Block
Designed as an upgrade to the NAS1637 Adjustable Keeper with Mounting Provisions, this product interfaces with the NAS1637 latch to retain Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) into ARINC 404-style trays.
Advanced Thumbscrew Hold-Downs
Our Advanced Thumbscrew Hold-Downs are the lightweight, high-performance option for when a more advanced hold-down solution is needed. Developed to meet the extreme performance standards of ABS1699, ASNA2168, and RTCA/DO-160, these hold-downs retain equipment even when not fully tightened and provide superior installation force compared to standard military-style hold-downs.
Insertion-Extraction Hold-Downs
We offer several types of installation force-limiting hold-downs with extraction features to protect the blind-mate connectors interfacing your equipment and ease maintenance, removal, and replacement.
Military Style Hold-Downs
These hold-downs have a secure ratcheting locking mechanism that meets the performance standards of MS14108, MIL-F-85371, are RoHS compliant and are the industry standard for a thumbscrew hold-down restraint of avionics equipment.
Negative Pressure Air Filtration Systems
Amphenol CIT offers three types of negative air pressure filtration systems. These systems significantly reduce the ingression of cooling air contaminants entering the equipment with top-to-bottom cooling flows.
Pneumatic Low Pressure Flow Sensors
Sensor modules for pneumatic detection of cooling system failures are a low-cost monitoring solution for your standalone cooling system and can be interfaced into any low-pressure plenum application.
Positive Pressure Air Filtration Systems
Dust and debris are hard on electronics and cooling systems and can significantly shorten their operating life. Amphenol CIT offers a variety of positive-pressure solutions to capture contaminants before they ever enter the cooling system or equipment.
Silicone P-Seal
Amphenol CIT offers a Silicone P-Seal, which can be used in a variety of applications. This flexible P-seal is great for filling in various sizes of gaps between components/structures, such as trays and blanking plates.
Stand-Offs
Amphenol CIT’s stand-offs were created for ease of visual inspection by color coding to indicate height and made from aerospace-grade aluminum for additional weight savings.
