C&K Announces Space Splice High-Reliability Four-Way Connectors

     C&K, a leading manufacturer of high-quality electromechanical switches, has developed a new high-reliability connector, the Space Splice four-way connector. This connector is ideal for applications in aerospace systems, especially satellites, such as payloads, wire harnesses, thermistors, and multilayer insulators. The connectors feature a unique patented design and are currently applying for ESA certification.

     In the previously released Space Splice series of unidirectional connectors, the two wires are connected via a standard solution. C&K has now taken this expertise and improved the design into a stackable wire-to-wire connector with removable contacts. While increasing the number of contacts, the Space Splice series of four-way connectors can also be stacked, which is useful in spaces where more than four connection directions are required.

     Remi Antoine, global product manager at C&K, said: "The Space Splice series of high-reliability four-way connectors is a rugged, reliable connector developed specifically for aerospace applications. The ability to introduce more critical connectors for aerospace applications, We are proud and excited."
