Connectors are used on electrical wiring harnesses and are essentially enclosures (i.e., shells) which house contacts with wires. The electrical connection into the system at the contact termination is either a soldered or crimped connection (the latter removable from the connector with the use of a special tool). The shell and insert may be moisture resistant or a hermetic seal. The inserts in each connector must be oriented for correct mating, and the shell or insert usually contains a keying feature to prevent miss-mating that could damage the connector or result in an electrical problem. 

Connectors can be of a Plug (“male”) or Receptacle (“female”) type. Receptables are also termed as sockets or jacks. Plugs have prolonged connecting pins which fit into the mating sockets. Receptables have mounting features such as a flange with holes. Connectors used in aircraft are mostly those complying with Military Standards (MIL-STD) and Military Specifications (MIL-SPEC).

Different connectors, structured in series, are offered as part of our own branded (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines to provide cost-effective solutions for a variety of applications. Sourced by quality suppliers, they are available in plug or receptable types.

MIL-spec were initially developed to standardize wires and cables used in military equipment. For many years, wires used in aircraft met MIL-W-5086  mil-spec and SAE-AS50861 standards superseeding them. They were manufactured with the use of tin-coated copper conductors rated at 600 volts and temperatures of 105°C and various insulating coatings including polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The PVC insulation provided resistance to abrasion, among many other things. Still in production, MIL-W-5086  cables in their various types of conductors and jacket constructions are used, apart from the aircraft in other applications that require resistance to abrasion, cut-through, impact, chemicals, and fuels. They are gradually replaced by those made in accordance with Mil-W-22759 standard due to toxic fumes generated by PVC insulation in the event of a fire. The Mil-W-22759 standard transitioned to SAE AS22759 in 2004. These two standards are essentially identical and cover a of wide range of single conductor wires (please refer to the Product Description section and supplied documentation for assistance).

Sourced from quality producers, AS22759/M22759 wires are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines in different configurations, various AWG(*) sizes, in white (standard) or other color variations (desired color should be specified at the time of ordering). They are suitable for use in a range of applications in military and civilian aircraft, in harsh aircraft engine environments, for control surfaces as well as applications in areas subject to severe weather and moisture-prone (SWAMP).

Those commonly used are SAE AS22759/16  unshielded wires (replacing wires produced as per M22759/16 /17/18 and /19  specifications) but other configurations can be available. This specification uses stranded tin plated copper or silver plated high strength alloy conductors and extruded ethylene/tetrafluorbethylene (ETFE) insulation. Respective wire ratings are 150° C and 600 Volts.

The AVIATIONEU NEW ERA AS22759/M22759 wires are sold in cut-to-order lengths in 10 ft increments or pre-determined lengths in feet, indicated in the product reference number (SKU), and packed in rolls or spools. These wires are accompanied by our Certificate of Conformance (CoC). 

(*) American Wire Gauge (AWG): Wire gauge is a measurement of wire diameter. This determines the amount of electric current a wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight.

TYCO ELECTRONICS TE CONNECTIVITY™ SOLISTRAND Series Terminals & Splices are specially designed to terminate solid and stranded wire, irregular-shaped conductors, and wire-conductor combinations while still retaining the superior performance characteristics of single-purpose terminals and splices. The series resists corrosion and vibration, and the tensile strength is well within the limits of commercial and military specifications. TE Connectivity offers SOLISTRAND crimping tools to ensure terminations are consistent and uniform for easier quality control and reliable performance. The TE SOLISTRAND line includes terminals, parallel and butt splices, flat rings, spades, hooks, and flanged tongue terminals in sizes from 26AWG (0.1mm2) through 600 MCM (304mm2).

Features & Benefits

SOLISTRAND terminals and splices are constructed of fine grade high conductivity copper for optimal electrical performance

The brazed seam increases metal strength around the entire barrel area assuring withstanding harsh industrial environments. It also prevents pinched and stubbed wires

The “W” crimp – two longitudinal crimps – and the dimples or serrations inside the wire barrel  offer maximum electrical contact area after crimping and higher tensile strength. This permits the use of a shorter barrel, which end up in a smaller form factor and makes it more cost effective

Bell mouth on barrel entrance makes insertion of wires easier and reduces installation time and increasing production yield

Most SOLISTRAND terminals and splices meet or exceed the requirements of SAE AS7928, Type I, Class 1 and 2. Aircraft-, defense- and marine (related) equipment base their performance requirements on AS7928

Rated for up to 170°C maximum and therefore suitable in all standard applications.

Applications

Pad- and pole-mount transformers

Power supplies

Motors

Switchgear

Telecommunications

Appliances

Panel boxes

Heavy equipment

Instruments/control

Transportation

Thermocouple and thermocouple extension wires are flexible, insulated wires the first used to link a thermocouple to a temperature control device or make the sensing point (or probe) of the thermocouple while the second to extend a thermocouple signal from a probe back to the measuring instrument reading the signal over long distances.

There are different types of thermocouples conctructed from 2 conductor solid core thermocouple grade specified gauge insulated wires with a positive and negative lead and an insulated outer jacket. Types N, K, E, J, T are base metal thermocouple wires  mostly used while Types S, R and B are precious metal thermocouple wires. Common Thermocouple Wire Types are outlined below while their more detailed presentation and characteristics are included in the Product Description section.

K-Type thermocouple (nickel-chromium (nickel-silicon - nickel-aluminum). Base metal thermocouple with strong oxidation resistance with a temperature measurement capability from 0 to 1300 °C.  Main disadvantages include among others a high-temperature stability of thermoelectric potential lower than of N-type and precious metal thermocouples and a poor short-term thermal cycle stability in the range of 250-500 °C.

T-Type thermocouple (copper-copper-nickel). It has the highest accuracy and good uniformity among the base metal thermocouples and an operating temperature between -200 and 350 ℃.

J-Type thermocouple (iron-constantan ). Suitable for reducing or inert atmosphere for vacuum oxidation, and the temperature range from -200 to 800 °C.

N-Type thermocouple (NiCrSi-NiSi). Features of the thermocouple are strong anti-oxidation ability in temperature regulation below 1300 °C, good long-term stability and short-term thermal cycle repeatability, good nuclear radiation resistance, and low-temperature resistance. 

E-Type thermocouple (nickel-chromium-copper-nickel [constantan] thermocouple). Its thermoelectric potential is the highest among the commonly used thermocouples. Often selected for applications in conditions of high sensitivity, low thermal conductivity, and large resistance that can be tolerated. Less sensitive than Type K to corrosion in atmospheres containing higher humidity.

Thermocouple wires of diferent types and wire sizes (Gauges) are offered as part of own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Priced and sold by the foot and offered in specified or cut to order lengths (usually in 10 ft increments).
