Molex has released a new report from AirBorn which explores the unrelenting demands for constant, continuous connectivity to support the rigors of modern aerospace, defense and space-industry applications. The report, entitled Defining and Advancing Rugged, Reliable Connectivity in Aerospace and Defense, addresses top connector design, development and testing requirements to ensure flawless performance despite prolonged exposure to extreme environmental, mechanical and thermal stressors.
Molex SVP and president, Aerospace and Defense Solutions, Mike Cole, said: “Pushing the boundaries of rugged and reliable connectors is paramount when lives depend on unfailing operation to complete critical missions. This AirBorn report offers valuable insights on the need for interconnect innovations that elevate durability, signal integrity and long-term performance.”
Product design factors are crucial to maintaining uninterrupted operations in land-, sea- and space-based systems. These include resilience to intense vibrations, high-impact shock forces, temperature extremes, along with protection against excess moisture, dust and contaminants.
