Hello There,
I am trying to better understand the typical data rates, frequencies, and basic info on some of the higher speed I/O protocols out there such as:
Ethernet 10 Base T, 100 Base T, 1000 Base T
Fibre Channel
Mil-Std-1553
DVI
Can you help me fill in some gaps? What are the actual data...
I have a temporary engineering assignment with my employer brewing at Boeing in Seattle. Does anyone have experience with job relocation issues?
I wanted just to ask if anyone has or had an exit strategy for returning back home after thier assignment was over. Do you get something in writing...
Hello There,
I am working with a 303 SS jack screw with M5 threads. The connector mating load is predicted to be about 20 pounds. The torque I have specified is 10 inch-pounds.
My problem is I am failing the extrenal threads in a short amount of time (25-30) matings. Do you reccomend...
Hello There,
I am trying to understand the implications of making a electrical connector shell such as ARINC 600 out of stainless steel as compared to aluminum.
What are some of the concerns anyone might have regarding these two materials when installed as a connector shell in the wheel well...

Silicone Rubber Question:
I know this is an awkard question but, I got asked it from an aerospace customer about how silicone rubber wire seals react to what is called urich acid.
In other words, how does silicone rubber react to urine?
It seems some of thier connectors had voltage failures...
