Industrial Connectors For the Aerospace Sector

The aerospace industry connector is an electrical connector used to connect aerospace spacecraft and their components, and is an important part of aerospace electronic equipment. They work in harsh environments and must meet the requirements of high reliability, high precision, vibration resistance, impact resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, salt spray resistance, corrosion resistance and so on.

Feature

The characteristics of the aerospace industry connector are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

High reliability: The aerospace industry connector must work in harsh environments, such as high altitude, low temperature, high temperature, vibration, shock, etc., so it must have extremely high reliability.

High precision: Aerospace industry connectors are used to connect precision electronic devices, so they must have a high degree of precision to ensure the accuracy of signal transmission.

Vibration resistance, shock resistance: the aerospace industry connector will be subjected to severe vibration and shock during the working process, so it must have strong vibration and shock resistance.

High temperature resistance, low temperature resistance: the aerospace industry connector will experience extreme temperature changes during the working process, so it must have strong high temperature and low temperature resistance.

Salt spray resistance and corrosion resistance: aerospace industry connectors may be exposed to corrosive media such as salt spray, acid and alkali during the working process, so they must have strong salt spray resistance and corrosion resistance.

Apply

Aerospace industry connectors are widely used in various areas of aerospace spacecraft.

Aircraft: There are a wide variety of connectors used on aircraft, which are used in various systems of aircraft, such as engine control systems, navigation systems, communication systems, weapon systems, etc.

Spacecraft: The connectors used on spacecraft are more precise and reliable, and are applied to various systems of spacecraft, such as propulsion systems, attitude control systems, power systems, communication systems, etc.

Satellites: The connectors used on satellites must be able to withstand the harsh environment of space and be applied to various systems of satellites, such as solar cell systems, communication systems, attitude control systems, etc.

Missile: The connector used on the missile must be able to withstand high-speed movement and violent vibration, applied to the various systems of the missile, such as guidance system, control system, warhead, etc.

Type

Aerospace industry connectors can be divided into the following categories by structure.

Circular connector: Circular connector is one of the most widely used aerospace industry connectors, with simple structure, high reliability, easy maintenance and other advantages.

Rectangular connector: Rectangular connector has the advantages of small size, light weight, high density, etc., and has been more and more widely used in the aerospace field in recent years.

Miniature connector: Miniature connector has the advantages of small size, light weight, high density, etc., and is suitable for miniaturized and lightweight aerospace equipment.

Optical fiber connector: Optical fiber connector has the advantages of high transmission rate and strong anti-interference ability, which is suitable for high-rate and large-capacity aerospace communication systems.

Aerospace industry connectors are an important part of aerospace electronic equipment and play an important role in the aerospace field. With the continuous development of aerospace technology, aerospace industry connectors will also develop in the direction of more miniaturization, lightweight, high reliability, high function and multi-function.
