Cable Separators
Cable Separators are used to help separate cable harnesses from one another, aiding in organizing cable routing throughout the aircraft. Available in either Nylon or PEEK, they maintain clearance between two parallel or crossing cable harnesses preventing wire abrasion. Nine different versions are available and they are qualified to Airbus standard ABS1144.
Cable Supports
Cable Supports are made to affix on an aircraft’s airframe, helping to secure and manage cable harnesses as they run throughout the aircraft body. They are offered in nylon and are designed for use in airframe, fuel tank, and engine applications. Available in various standard configurations and sizes, Amphenol Pcd also offers customized products to help meet specific customer requirements.
C.A.P. Series
The C.A.P. Series consists of a family of connectors that provide users easy access to standard communication and power ports, but in a ruggedized format that is easily integrated into aerospace or other demanding environments. The spring-loaded, 360-degree cover provides quick access to the front side/user port.
CB/CBX All-Plastic Connectors
These lightweight style connectors have a positive latch type lock. CB/CBX connectors are perfect for PC board and blind mating applications. Key Features are PC board mounting, In-line mating, IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) system, Video, Audio, Seat-to-Seat, etc., and Aircraft lighting ballast.
CC1339 Light Clamps
Amphenol Air LB France's CC1339 Light clamps provide routing, support, and fixing for cable harnesses of various diameters (5 to 48 mm). Robust and flexible, they absorb shocks, vibrations and offer unequaled protection of bundles against pinching, crushing, or mechanical wear. Derived from legacy ABS1339 standard clamps, they offer up to 18% more weight savings.
CC5516 Light Clamps
Improved version of the CC5516 standard series, these Amphenol Air LB France's lightweight versions offer additional weight saving (up to 24% more!). Designed to keep the cable harnesses or hydraulic pipes securely maintained on a structure, they are easy-to-install, robust, flexible, and provide safety over time vs. metallic clamps. Stacking mount possible.
CC5516 Series
CC5516 series is a new line of lightweight Cable Clamps, in composite and silicone, derived from the legacy NSA5516 metallic clamps. They are designed to keep cable harnesses or hydraulic pipes securely maintained on a structure. They are closed and fixed on the structure by screw (not supplied), in one simple operation.
CC5516 Series Clamps
Lightweight alternative to metallic cable clamps, Amphenol Air LB France's CC5516 series is a line of composite and silicone clamps offering significant weight saving and safety over time. Designed to keep the cable harnesses or hydraulic pipes securely maintained on a structure, they are easy to install, robust and flexible.
Circular Connectors
These low pass filter connectors include the most popular circuits, C, CL/LC, Pi and T, and are constructed using planar filter technology for maximum strength and high performance from low to high frequencies. MIL-DTL-38999 Series I, II, III, IV.
Circular Multiport Connection System
This product combines SMPM/SMPS connectors into a single multiport, reducing its footprint as compared to an equivalent amount of threaded single port connectors. This unique multiport has a keying feature that properly aligns connectors to their mating halves.
This reduces mating error, the time necessary to make multiple connections and the amount of tooling needed.
CNC Machining
State-of-the-art machine with abilities to machine, coat, inspect, and assemble mechanical solutions for our internal and external customers. Our capabilities include Six 4-Axis Mazak machines, 5-Axis Mazak Integrex, water-jet, and press brake, CMM, vacuum fixturing for thin-walled heat-sinks.
Conduits
High-performance Conduits are intended to be supported by Amphenol Pcd P-Clamps. Conduits provide support for wire bundles where separation or protection from other systems or structures is necessary. Conduits can be installed anywhere in the aircraft, including the wings. Although Amphenol Pcd Conduits are available in various standard configurations and sizes, we offer custom products as well.
Conformable RF Cable Assemblies
SV Microwave's conformable cable assemblies feature hand-formable cable that retains its shape after being placed into specific bends providing a balance between bending capability and high-frequency performance up to 40 GHz. These cable assemblies, recognized for their customizable features, are useful for prototyping and development.
COTS Products Customizations
SV Microwave offers a flexible approach to customizing our COTS products to meet unique customer needs. Our applications and design engineering teams routinely make minor adjustments to standard parts-such as lengthening flanges, adjusting retention features, or altering PCB connector lengths—to support specific design requirements. Below are some examples.
CQ Connectors
CQ Connectors are aerospace-grade, quick-disconnect rectangular connectors based on the standard D-Subminiature (MIL-DTL-24308) footprint. Featuring a unique push-button locking mechanism that eliminates the need for tools and screws, they are designed for rapid installation, blind-mating, and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) prevention in mission-critical aviation and defense applications.
CRN Brackets
CRN Bracket is custom-made to hold the “Current Return Network” in place inside a composite aircraft. Very easy to install with a bolt, the CRN system is fixed in place by hand with an integrated snap system on the bracket. The bracket is made of PEEK material and silicone is over-molded onto the bracket.
CSLT Connectors
The CSLT is a quick coupling connector for use in Avionics systems, which can be used with PC tail and solder cup contacts in the receptacle and standard AS39029 size 20 contacts in the plug. This connector can be polarized in six different positions. The bayonet post design on this quick coupling connector is just an example of the capabilities we have available for your custom interconnect solutions.
Current Sensors
Piher Sensing Systems designs and manufacturers current sensors based on contactless technology for accurate measurement of currents in automotive battery management and motor control applications.
Piher’s precision current sensors improve motor or solenoid control applications and grid monitoring addressing the needs of both Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs.
