Space
Space is a unique and extreme operating environment. Vacuum, cosmic and thermal radiation, cost implications for launch thrust, vibration, high cost of failure and repair make it a specialist field with exacting requirements.
Harwin for Space
Harwin interconnects are used in build programmes by some of the world’s leading space projects.
- Many years experience supplying the space industry
- Lightweight, small footprint, high reliability interconnects
- Certified to EN9100D / AS9100D
Featured projects
- Project: Base satellite communications system
- Challenge: With many cables and a long Bill of Materials (BOM) the customer wanted to stick with a consistent connection type for the different cable-to-board connections, on top of a rugged connector system for an outdoor operating environment.
- Solution: Datamate J-Tek 2-row and 3-row connectors use the same cabling and connection system across a wide range of connector sizes – all capable of meeting the customer’s environmental concerns.
- Project: Satellite TV from Geostationary Orbit.
- Challenge: panel-to-panel connection rugged enough to survive launch and orbiting conditions for enclosed server units to launch and operate in earth-orbit satellites, yet easy to blind-mate on assembly.
- Solution: Using Datamate J-Tek with a combination of female guide pins and male panel mount, both cable connections provide panel mounting with space-grade, high-reliability performance.
