Radiall is very proud to announce that its new EPXBTM Galley Equipment Connector was selected as the ARINC 810 industry standard.

The ARINC 810 standardization activity was initiated for:

*        Global electrical power management control of the aircraft by means of a CAN data bus connection up to the galley equipment.

*        Creation of a robust and reliable standardized electrical interface between the Galley cabinet and the Galley equipment.

Usually, the amount of electrical power generation installed on an aircraft largely depends on the amount of electrical power required by the galley equipment. The new standardized electrical CAN bus connection allows global power control and management of the galley equipment on the aircraft. This management system will be able to sequence galley power consumption over the entire aircraft. The ARINC 810 standard, with the EPXBTM 2 galley connector, will lead to overall weight savings due to reduction of electrical power generators required on an aircraft.

The EPXBTM  is used on ovens, beverage makers, refrigerators, microwave ovens and other equipment which fit within the new standardized galley layouts.

The new EPXBTM  galley connector was specially designed for the severe conditions required by galley equipment. A floating mechanism was developed to avoid any risk of jamming and to guarantee a fully sealed connection.

The EPXBTM  connector is modular and provides extra contact density to add new contacts such as the #8 twinax CAN data bus contact. Backshell accessories are also available.
