HARRISBURG, Pa. – TE Connectivity in Harrisburg, Pa., is introducing a five-bay connector shell configuration for its Mini Modular Rack Principle (MiniMRP) avionics and electronics packaging for commercial aerospace and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) planes, military aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and ground vehicle applications.
The connectors offer as much as 40 percent space savings and as much as 60 percent weight reduction of traditional avionics.
The modular avionics architecture, based on ARINC 836A standards, offers a five-bay connector shell for an additional port and module for increased input/output connectivity within the compact MiniMRP enclosures.
The shell uses the preferred DMC-M connectors for MiniMRP modules, and are designed to EN4165 and ARINC 836A standards. The MiniMRP concept helps distribute avionics throughout an aircraft.
TE's MiniMRP solutions use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to reduce costs in developing distributed systems. The enclosures come in different sizes with ruggedized and lightweight options. For more information contact TE Connectivity online at www.te.com.
