High Reliability Connectors

Space is a challenging environment for electronic systems and components. Extreme levels of vibration are generated by launch vehicles, and explosive shock waves can be generated when a satellite separates from its rocket in space.

Outgassing from satellite components can lead to contamination. Components must also operate across very wide temperature ranges and be highly resistant to radiation and electrostatic discharges.

C&K has a deep understanding of the launch and space environment, and our portfolio of connectors are designed to withstand everything that a space mission can throw at them.

Our wide range of reliable, high-quality ESA and MIL-qualified products are suitable for numerous space applications, including payload, PCB connectors, harnesses and test equipment.

C&K manufactures Sub D (D*M and D*MA), Combo D, Micro D and Micro-miniature MTB1 formats as well as accessories such as back-shells, screw-locks, interfacial seals and tools.

Our patented SpaceSplice^TM connectors offer a standard, easy-to-use, highly reliable solution for connections that must still be made manually. Manufactured in accordance with ESA/ESCC specification, SpaceSplice^TM connectors meet the most demanding quality requirements for satellite structure, payloads, harnesses, etc., and are suitable for applications such as heaters and thermistors.

High reliability and quality are critical when choosing devices for space applications, along with the reputation of the manufacturer. With our AS9100 certification and our long history of delivering products for space applications, C&K is the natural choice.
