5.3.3 Unit Connectors and Mounts

The MARK III provides a low insertion force, size 2, ARINC 600 rear connector shell assembly as defined in ARINC 758 for standard interconnect. The connector is located on the center grid of the MARK III rear panel.

The portable data loader connector that is contained on the unit’s front panel is a 53-pin circular connector that as specified in ARINC 615 for standard interconnect. The PDL front panel connector that mates with the LRU is connector type MS27473T-18A-53P.

The mounting tray which is used for installing the unit in an aircraft may be any commercially available mount which is designed for the dimensional requirements in ARINC 600 for a 4-MCU unit. No special requirements exist for this mount.

5.3.4 Cooling Requirements

The MARK III is designed to accept cooling air using the method described in ARINC 600 or ARINC 404A. The nominal cooling airflow requirement for the MARK III per ARINC 758 is 22.0 kilograms/hour of 40 degrees centigrade (maximum) air. The coolant air pressure drop through the MARK III should be 25 +2.5 millimeters of water.

If aircraft conditioned air is not available, the MARK III may be installed using an ARINC 600 equipment tray that has an integral cooling an installed in the plenum.
