Get to Know TE Connectivity
As the go-to engineering partner for today's innovation leaders and technology entrepreneurs, we are helping solve tomorrow's toughest challenges with advanced connectivity and sensors solutions.
Learn more about how the emerging SOSA™ technical standards and existing VITA standards are going to impact embedded system designers in the near future.
In UAVs, sophisticated sensors provide more bandwidth, and light-weight on-board networks are enabling UAVs to loiter on station longer and carry heavier payloads.
Today’s UAV subsystems demand high bandwidths combined with low SWaP. VPX technology provides the performance and ruggedness to satisfy these demands.
Mission-critical detection, launch, flight and precision targeting demand smaller, lighter, faster, reliable interconnects and systems
Unmanned aerial vehicles play an important role in modern battle spaces. Learn how connector technology is integral to supporting a successful UAV mission.
Air-to-surface missile systems must continue to evolve to counter innovations in interceptor technology.
As the use of drones and small UAVs expands, TE Connectivity continues to design interconnection solutions optimized for harsh, rugged environments.
Tinel-Lock backshell technology offers a unique balance of properties for terminating a braided cable shield for robust, cost-effective performance.
Directed energy weapons rely on high-voltage solutions to overcome the challenges of high-power lasers, particle beams, and high-power microwave technologies.
TE Connectivity helps minimize the size of interceptor missile connectors and interconnects to optimize space within the missile and maximize launch range.

A growing trend in electronic packaging for military and aerospace applications is the availability of multi-contact coaxial interconnects. A key driver is the desire to provide RF disconnect capability at the backplane/daughtercard interface. This simplifies engagement and disengagement by eliminating the need for the cables on the front panel (top side of the daughtercard).
As the sophistication and capabilities of UAVs continue to evolve, engineers need to pay greater attention to end-to-end connectivity to avoid performance bottlenecks. Many UAVs are long-endurance platforms capable of sustained flight measured in days, loitering to perform surveillance and strike missions. In their surveillance role, UAVs may carry multiple cameras and sensors to deal with a variety of frequencies, from visible light to infrared and thermal. In addition to the spectral challenges, an important issue is creating cameras that overcome low resolution and narrow fields of view.
As electronic miniaturization packed more and more capabilities into smaller packages, smaller connectors became desirable. Reducing both size and weight are critical factors in military/aerospace applications. The subminiature-D connector gave way to the microminiature-D. Today, Nanominiature connectors offer even more dramatic space and weight savings in applications where maximum space and weight savings are crucial design factors.
For designers of embedded computer systems in military and aerospace applications, “more” means higher processing speeds to handle the ever-increasing complexity of signal intelligence and networked warfare. This, in turn, requires connectors that not only can handle the higher data rates, but also operate reliably in the harshest environments.
More. That’s the essence of pushing the performance envelope. For designers of embedded computer systems in military and aerospace applications, “more” means higher processing speeds to handle the ever-increasing complexity of signal intelligence and networked warfare. This, in turn, requires connectors that not only can handle the higher data rates, but also operate reliably in the harshest environments.
The naval environment involves unique challenges – pressure, flooding, corrosion – for reliably powering UUVs and USVs. TE's connectivity solutions are designed to address these challenges.
Recent tests by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Goddard Space Flight Center show that new nano-carbon crosslinked ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) helps controls electrostatic discharge (ESD) in wires and cables used on spacecraft.
Technically advanced products that have adopted the latest technology can provide enhanced communication, detection, protection, real time situational awareness, and data analysis. The soldier can now be more capable and confident and becomes a greater value as an asset in his environment.
