COMMERCIAL AEROSPACE​

TE's Aerospace Interconnect Systems and Components Lighten-the-Load, Save Space and Boost Performance. TE is your advantage for performance, lower costs, and greater efficiency in designing, building and maintaining aircraft electronic interconnects.​

Advanced Aerospace Connectivity with Next-Generation Interconnect Systems

Controlling aircraft design and operation costs is an increasing challenge for the commercial aerospace industry. TE consistently delivers proven value and performance and increasingly lighter weight solutions for customer applications.

 

Innovating for the next generation of aerospace. Whether it’s a UAM, corporate jet, eVTOL, Widebody / Narrow body aircraft, or military aircraft, we are continually innovating to give you the best combination of cost, increased reliability, and performance. We lead the industry in innovation by bringing together expertise in materials, processes, physics, and manufacturing. We use sophisticated computer modeling of the magnetic, thermal, mechanical, and electrical parameters of a design to ensure optimum performance. Then we engineer the aerospace product for easier use, longer reliability, and lower applied cost.

The Connected Aircraft Story

Designing the Connected Aircraft for smarter, faster connectivity. Today’s aircraft are more connected than ever before to make flight more efficient and safe. Pilots and ground crews require more information at faster speeds to manage increasingly complex aircraft systems. To meet these demands, TE Connectivity (TE) has developed technologies that provide reliable performance in harsh environments to make modern air travel faster, more efficient and enjoyable.

Advancing Aircraft Connectivity With Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Solutions

Get the details
Mini-ETH Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) System for Aircraft Design

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) enables Ethernet transmission with two wires, rather than eight. Specified in ARINC 854, TE Connectivity (TE) is now bringing its pioneering Mini-ETH interconnect system to the Commercial Aerospace market. This smaller, lighter, smarter technology provides size, weight and performance advantages for today’s and tomorrow’s aircraft, because the connected aircraft starts with fewer wires.

MiniMRP Avionics Packaging

A distributed avionics system creates flexible capabilities in a smaller, lighter package. The Mini Modular Rack Principle (MiniMRP), standardized in ARINC 836A, is fast emerging as the leading choice for packaging of distributed systems. The MiniMRP provides standardized modules that can be easily deployed through an aircraft, allowing information to be collected and distributed around a fiber optic or copper backbone.
