The DDC/North Hills DB40010 is a box-type, multi-stub data bus coupler engineered for MIL-STD-1553B and Notice 2 compliance. It delivers transformer-coupled stub connectivity with up to 8 ports, supporting stub voltages from 1.0 VPP to 14.0 VPP. The coupler maintains 55 dB common mode rejection and operates across -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for airborne, military, and test environments where signal integrity and environmental protection are essential.
