The DEICO MIL-STD-1553 PCB Type Bus Coupler series offers a reliable and economical solution for building communication bus systems in demanding applications. These bus couplers are specifically designed for stable signal transmission and ensure robust system integration through integrated transformer coupling, high isolation, and effective shielding. DEICO relies on proven standard solutions (COTS) that are suitable for both platform applications and professional test environments.
Typical applications for the DEICO MIL-STD-1553 bus couplers include military and civilian communication systems, avionics platforms, and test and development environments. They enable the reliable connection of multiple devices within a bus network and support structured cabling concepts with defined stubs.
The model DE8103 is a 3-stud PCB bus coupler without termination. Compared to other models in the series, the DE8103 is distinguished by its unterminated design, allowing for flexible integration into existing bus architectures. Like all 3-stub variants, it features a transformation ratio of 1:1.41 and a stub resistance of 59 ohms ±1% at 1W. Unlike the terminating variants such as the DE8113 or DE8133, this model is ideally suited for applications requiring external termination. Product features of the series: Transformer ratio: 1:1.41 Stub resistance: 59 ohms ±1% (1W) Characteristic impedance: 78 ohms Common mode rejection: -45 dB max @ 1 MHz Droop: max. 20% at 250 kHz Overshoot & Ringing: ±1.0 V Peak Stub Voltage: 1.0 V to 14.0 V p-p Bus Input Impedance: min. 3000 Ohms Housing Material: Tinned Sheet Metal (0.5 mm) Operating Temperature: -55°C to +125°C Vibration and Shock Resistance according to MIL-STD-810G
