The CBC line of galley and buffet connectors are designed and warranted to meet or exceed the original equipment specifications and performance parameters long established for conventional aircraft applications. These connectors are subjected to rigid individual inspection and close-controlled quality assurance standards to ensure years of trouble-free service in the heavily-used passenger service areas of the aircraft.

The connectors in use today by the airframe OEMs and the suppliers of galleys and galley insert modules have been standardized for ease of maintenance and interchangeability, and are designed to accommodate the many different plug-in warming devices and other ancillary units presently in use world-wide.

Click. It's connected. With equal ease, it's disconnected. No tools needed.The only connectors of their kind, this Tri-Star innovation makes installation, modifications and maintenance faster and easier. The unique lock/unlock mechanism in Tri-Star's line of CQ connectors mates with an audible "click," making them ideal for blind mating applications and hard-to-reach places.

Features and Benefits

• Unique, built-in locking/unlocking mechanism
• Audible "click" confirms connectors are fully mated
• Mates with any standard D-Subminiature or MIL-C-24308 connector,when lockpost hardware is installed.
• No tools needed
• 5 different shell sizes
• Standard D-Subminiature insert arrangements from 9 through 50 positions including nine additional coaxial arrangements
• Available in an environmentally sealed version that prevents moisture intrusion when mated

Applications

• Ideal for blind mating applications and hard-to-reach places, such as under passenger seats
• Accommodates power, signal and coaxial contacts (also available through Tri-Star)

These products are predominately designed and built for the Commercial Aircraft industry. Custom designed to exacting customer performance requirements, Tri-Star Grounding Blocks and Terminal Blocks are currently flying around the world today.
