PAGE 3AEROSPACE, DEFENSE & MARINE /// DEUTSCH 983 SERIES CONNECTORS
TE Connectivity’s (TE) DEUTSCH 983 series connector was created in the 90’s.
This connector has been especially designed for harsh environment aircraft zone
applications such as engines and boosters.
Available in two versions, TE’s DEUTSCH 983 series connector is used in its stain-
less steel version on harsh constraint-facing areas such as engines, landing gears,
APU (Auxiliary Power Unit), wings, pylons, leading edges whereas the aluminum
version is used in cargo compartments.
Qualified to EN2997 specification for its stainless steel and aluminum version, TE’s
DEUTSCH 983 series is also qualified to ADS (Aerospace Defense and Security)
ESC10, Boeing BACC63 and Airbus ABS specifications. In addition, TE’s DEUTSCH
983 series is fully intermateable with MIL-DTL-83723 Series III connectors.
TE’s DEUTSCH 983 series connector uses contacts qualified to the EN3155 and
ADS ESC30 specifications.
TE’s DEUTSCH 983 Series connectors are distinguishable from MIL-DTL-83723
connectors by following improvements :
- Shell-to-shell metal bottoming (plug and receptacle mated)
- Anti-rotation system on 360° by tightening
- Self-locking system all plug
- Reduced elastomer barriers to use new and old generations of wires
All TE’s DEUTSCH 983 electrical connectors series are intermateable and interchan-
geable with connectors in accordance with MIL-DTL-83723 series III.
A large accessories range completes TE’s DEUTSCH 983 connector series :
- Backnut
- Straight cable clamp
- 90° cable clamp
