Signal Connectors for Aerospace Ground Support Equipment

Aerospace support equipment needs dependable connections that can cope with repeated handling, outdoor use and a demanding quality culture. AP Technology supplies signal connectors for aerospace related machinery and ground support, alongside custom cable assembly. Test rigs, handling equipment and production tooling are good examples. A locking connector with a known mating life brings useful certainty to equipment that gets connected and disconnected constantly, and bespoke assemblies can be drawn up and approved first. Smaller machines often suit the 617 series M17, which comes in six body styles with 12 and 17 contact inserts rated at 7A/32V and 3.6A/63V. Where the contact count climbs, the 627 series M27 provides 26 pole capacity across four body styles, with screw thread coupling and mixed contact arrangements such as 4+2+12 and 4+2+17. Harsh or aggressive conditions call for the M23 316L series, made from 1.4404 grade stainless steel. It covers contact arrangements from 6 to 19 positions and has been designed with chemical and food processing plants in mind.

If the choice is not obvious, an online product selector is linked from the AP Technology site, or the technical sales team can talk it through with you. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.
