There
are two types of couplers to choose from; The In-Line type or the flange-mounted
BNC connector Box-type.
In-line couplers generally offer significantly lower weight and
are usually mounted by lacing them into cable bundles or securing them to bulkheads
with a clamp.
Box-type couplers, although heavier, offer the advantage of easy
fault isolation, flexibility in updating when a bus configuration changes, and
are easy to install and repair.

In-Line - Micro Couplers
Flight qualified units are available both with and without internal terminations.
In-Line
MIL-STD-1553 Quik Clik Couplers
Quik-Clik couplers provide a way to reduce the number of connectors and solder
joints in the network, thereby improving reliability significantly.
In-Line
- Thru-Hole Mounted Couplers
For applications where lacing into a cable bundle or mounting using a clamp
is not practical. These couplers are flight qualified and have successfully
completed a 1000 hour life test at +125°C and 100% duty cycle.
Sub-Miniature Couplers
A series of miniature data bus couplers for programs
that are weight sensitive and have limited space and volume for installation.
Miscellaneous Data Bus Couplers:
Printed Circuit
Board Mounted Couplers
Enables the 1553 network designer to minimize the number of connectors by mounting
the couplers on a printed circuit board within the power and signal distribution
box.
Internally Terminated
Couplers
All North Hills' data bus couplers are now available with dual bus terminators
internally mounted. This can simplify implementation of small networks (up to
8 stubs) significantly by eliminating the expense, inconvenience and parts count
of external terminators.
Box
Type Multi-Stub Couplers
Full line of single and multi- stub couplers for MIL-STD-1553. North Hills Couplers
have better than 55 dB common mode rejection and are supplied in a solder sealed
case for superior environmental, EMI and corrosion protection.
Ultra
Compact Data Bus Box Couplers
Utilizing a low profile design and lightweight robust construction, the Ultra
Compact Data Bus Coupler deliver big advantages with same superior electrical
performance at a fraction of the size. This coupler is the ideal solution
for programs that are weight sensitive and have limited space and volume for
installation.
