As innovation in military aircraft continues to rapidly advance, design engineers are continuously looking to create new configurations. Therefore, advancements that seem revolutionary, cutting-edge, and ahead-of-its-time are becoming much more mainstream.These technological advancements are seen in many areas of aircraft technology, including hermetic connectors. While hermetically sealed components represent a small part of an overall system, they are essential for protecting the electrical components that make things like engines, landing gear, actuators, rockets, targeting systems, and gauges work.
This whitepaper reviews the market trends driving connector design, the reasons why Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) require unique products, and the key issues that impact the customization process. It also explores the questions OEMs should ask to improve design and accelerate production.
