Learn about how single pair ethernet solutions can help meet demanding connectivity and size, weight, and power (SWaP) challenges in today’s and tomorrow’s aircraft
Learn about challenges engineers need to consider when designing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) applications
Check these 5 questions to understand what design engineers need to consider when specifying a relay for space.
The story of TE Connectivity and the James Webb telescope began with a chance encounter and will enable astronomers to capture science images like never before.
Joint All-Domain Command and Control systems are improving communications in every branch of the military through advances in combat systems connectivity.
When choosing backshells for space applications, strain relief and EMI / RFI shielding are some of the performance features needed to withstand harsh conditions.
SpaceVPX is a standard for space system components to assure interoperability and cost-effectively add bandwidth for future space system.
The key to rugged computing solutions is strengthening and protecting the cables, wires and connectors that enable technology to perform in harsh environments
Understanding the factors that influence the cost and performance of spacecraft connectors can help meet mission-critical objectives for LEO satellites.
Low Earth Orbit satellites have the power to bring real-time, reliable, cost-effective internet access to remote or inaccessible areas around the world.
Selecting the right type of missile defense system – and the customized components within it – can be a game-changing decision in modern military strategy.
Lighter advanced interconnects and cabling can contribute significantly to weight reductions in AAM and eVTOL avionics systems without compromising performance.
DBAS 9 connectors for rockets are engineered for mission-critical reliability with increased flexibility, usability, cost savings, and expandability.
In-flight entertainment systems are more than movies - air travel is a matter of having your office in the sky.
As commercial aircraft offer more services to passengers—from video on demand to Internet access—the interconnection backbone delivering services to each seat must accommodate the higher bandwidth requirements. At the same time, aircraft manufacturers are looking at plug and play solutions that install easily, are robust and reliable, and require little or no maintenance. Given the life span of commercial aircraft, a physical layer that can accommodate future upgrades to electronics is equally desirable
Commercial protocols in aerospace applications present designers with challenges of balancing the standard against special needs of the application. In the physical layer, the cables used for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, USB, IEEE 1394 and others are a prime example of this balancing act. The standards for these protocols detail electrical and structural requirements for the cables. One goal of standards is to characterize cables with enough specificity that they can be confidently plugged into the application.
As a designer’s primary choice to control high power circuits, contactors today offer more efficient operation and smarter operation to help protect against overcurrent and faults.
While the idea of composites and their use in the aerospace and defense industry is well established, new capabilities and new material formulations make the use of composite electronic enclosures deserving of another look. Replacing metal enclosures with composites gives you all the mechanical and electrical benefits of metal, but with the added bonuses of lower weight, corrosion resistance, and lower costs.
While carbon nanotube technology (CNT) has generated widespread interest for applications ranging from semiconductors to medical, one area that is a focus of research at TE Connectivity (TE) is high-performance electrical cables.
For embedded computing applications in aerospace, Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) are an important driver in achieving flexibility. With distributed avionics gaining new popularity as a way of achieving IMA, aircraft designers are taking advantage of recent advances in packaging to make distributed systems simpler and more cost-effective.
As military and aerospace application move toward Gigabit and 10G networks, standard military connector technology has not kept pace. To evaluate the suitability of various connectors, we tested differential near-end crosstalk in links containing a traditional MIL-DTL-38999 connector and two connectors from TE Connectivity (TE) designed specifically for gigabit and 10G applications.
This white paper explains in five steps what engineers need to consider during the selection process for a rugged fiber optic connectivity solution.
