An electrically actuated aircraft brake with a carbon-carbon composite heat pack and an electrical actuator for engaging the heat pack and operating the brake. The context can include the current device state. The connector includes a first portion and a second portion that are configured to be removably connected while providing both an electrical and mechanical connection between the front nut and back nut assemblies. The embedded RFID tags can also be painted or otherwise disguised so that they are more difficult to identify.
