Low outgassing low-fluoride wire and cable for space avionics applications introduced by TE Connectivity

HARRISBURG, Pa. – TE Connectivity in Harrisburg, Pa., is introducing the SPEC 55 low-fluoride wire and cable insulation system for space and high altitude environments.

The SPEC 55 LF insulation system is designed for space avionics systems, C4ISR, guidance and seeker systems, and general wire harnessing systems.

The insulation system is made from rugged fluoropolymer, and has a low outgassing rating of less than 10 PPM, which helps reduce the potential for corrosion of other components due to trapped gases escaping in a vacuum or low-pressure environment.

The system offers resistance to scrape abrasion, and is available in lightweight single-wall or extra-rugged dual-wall variants, including custom options.

The SPEC 55 LF insulation system is qualified to MIL-SPEC SAE-AS22759. The single wall SPEC 55 LF system is qualified to SAE-AS22759/51 and /52 while the dual wall variant is qualified to SAE-AS22759/53 and /54.
