Application
Better Control, Higher Speeds
Reduced SWaP with open architecture eliminates bottlenecks from backplane to I/O.
Avionics solutions for next-generation commercial and military aircraft and space systems. TE designs and builds components and solutions for sophisticated avionics packaged in smaller, lighter configurations to control and manage communications, on-board computers for navigation, power management, and multiple subsystems throughout the platform. TE component interconnects and designs provide reduced size and weight solutions while meeting ever increasing demands for higher bandwidth and high-speed connectivity. This includes high-speed board level and I/O connectors and backshells, high-speed cable and cable assemblies, switching / solid state and board level relays, sensors, lightweight composite enclosures, antennas and repair products. TE is one of the leaders in the development of distributed avionics architecture to collect and distribute information throughout the aircraft within a standardized modular format.
Surface Mount Resistors
A surface mount resistor is a tiny rectangular ceramic body with silver conductive edges on either end. They provide the same functionality as the more traditional axially leaded resistors but has a lower power dissipation capacity and oftentimes a lower stray inductance and capacity.
MEZALOK Mezzanine Connectors (VITA 61)
The high reliability choice for XMC serial switched fabric applications supporting data rates of 32+ Gb/s and providing exceptional thermal stability and resistance to shock. Stacking heights of 10, 12, and 18mm sized from 114 and 60 positions.
Through-Hole Resistors
A through-hole resistor is a fixed resistor that has long, pliable leads that can be stuck into a breadboard or hand- or wave-soldered into a printed circuit board. A through-hole resistor is used to reduce the flow of electrical current within a circuit. It’s typically composed of carbon film, metal film, metal oxide film, thick film, or wirewound.
MULTIGIG RT 2-R Connectors (VITA 46 / 72)
The standard connector for VITA 46 applications, the MULTIGIG RT 2 connector has been redesigned to be even more rugged. Passing the extreme testing requirements of VITA 72, the new MULTIGIG RT 2-R connectors offer quad redundant contacts for reliable connections and is drop-in backwards compatible with the original design.
Chassis Mount Resistors
A chassis mount resistor is designed to promote heat loss and cooling. This resistor is manufactured using wirewound resistor technology and features a ceramic core that is molded into an extruded aluminum chassis mount housing.
Rugged Fiber Optics
TE’s ruggedized fiber optics beings the benefits of optical technology to the challenging environments of defense and aerospace applications.
Trimmer Resistors
A trimmer resistor is a type of variable resistor or adjustable potentiometer that can adjust, tune, and calibrate circuits. It is meant to never be seen or adjusted by the device’s user.
CEELOK FAS-X Connectors
The high speed solution for 10 Gb/s Data Delivery using rugged, MIL-SPEC components.
Potentiometers
A potentiometer is a manually adjustable variable resistor that allows you to change and regulate the current flowing through a resistor.
High Speed Copper Wire and Cable
TE offers a large and growing range of High Speed Copper Cables for commercial and military aerospace, as well as ground systems and marine applications.
Probe Pads
Probe pads are incorporated in circuitry to avoid damage to sensitive tiny electronic circuits in surface mount devices. Probe pads enable safe probing of circuitry when adjusting, setting up, measuring, or repairing tiny electronic circuitry.
Pushbutton Switches
A pushbutton switch is a non-latching or momentary switch that causes a temporary change of current in an electrical circuit when the button is pressed. A spring returns the switch to its original position immediately afterwards.
Tactile Switches
Tactile switches provide tactile feedback to the user when the switch or button makes contact with the control panel underneath, which is usually a printed circuit board.
Toggle Switches
A toggle switch is a type of electrical switch that is actuated by moving a lever back and forth to open or close an electrical circuit. The two basic types of toggle switches are maintained contact and momentary contact.
Rocker Switches
A rocker switch is an electrical switch that rocks back and forth, and is actuated by a paddle, standard rocker, or dual rocker.
