Features and Benefits
Aerospace and defense platforms demand high-current power for compact designs in environments with extreme vibration, shock and temperature fluctuations. As these platforms become more complex, power systems require various power levels and configurations. There is also a consistent push to reduce size and weight while maintaining robust electrical performance and compliance with industry standards.
To address these issues, versatile and scalable power solutions that can be easily customized for complex power distribution systems are essential. Designers need high-current power distribution with low contact resistance for efficient power delivery and minimal thermal buildup. Also, manufacturers require compact and durable connectors that do not compromise high-power needs.
With a current rating of up to 23.0A per contact and a compact 0.225" pitch, AirBorn PowerAmp Connectors ensure efficient high-power distribution in mission-critical systems. These low-resistance connectors are durable and UL94V-0 flammability rated for superior vibration and shock resistance, as well as safety compliance, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. AirBorn PowerAmp Connectors are engineered for high-power delivery in demanding applications, and their customizable termination options—including plated through-hole, solder cup and cable assemblies—make them adaptable for a wide range of applications, from avionics to radar systems.
